Commando (1985)

Corrected entry: When Matrix asks Cindy how she managed to fire the rocket at the police-van, she tells him "I read the instruction book." Unlikely, unless she can drive and read books simultaneously.

Correction: She says she "read the instructions", not that she read the instruction "book." The instructions are printed on the weapon itself and are fairly simple. There's only a few steps and you could certainly read them while you were driving a vehicle.

Correction: People do read and drive at the same time. That's one cause of accidents.

The car is still stopped at the light, she stands up, turns around, then the scene cuts back and forth to the cops. Cindy does appear to stare at the rocket launcher before picking it up. She could have been reading the instructions there. Another less likely possibility is that out of curiosity, she read the instructions while she was loading it into the car. She says she read the instructions, she doesn't say when. In the car while standing is more likely because she uses it wrong at first.
