Corrected entry: In the beginning of the movie, the other members of the Matrix special forces team are killed in various ways. None of them saw the threat coming, none of them decided to try and fight, the man with the trash even seemed scared when he saw the guns instead of reacting in some way. We are led to believe that Matrix is the only operative in his unit to have never lost his edge. (00:01:55)

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man (1991)
Corrected entry: When Harley gets to town, the first thing he does is visit his friend, Marlboro. However, there are dozens of biker bars, not to mention hundreds of pool halls all over Burbank, after being gone for two years, how would Robert (Harley) have a clue where is buddy was currently hustling?
Correction: Because they have a favorite bar to hang out in. I lived in a city with hundred of bars, and friends and I went to maybe two.

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man (1991)
Corrected entry: At the bar shootout, hundreds of rounds are fired. The police would have arrived eventually, either by someone reporting gunfire, or a random patron eventually visiting and noticing the death everywhere. The motorcycles parked in the nearby ally would have been seized and stored as evidence. Yet at the end of the move, Harley shows up, somehow reacquiring his motorcycle. Even if he would have went to the police to get his bike, since his prints were all over the bar, he would have been there for days trying to explain his role in the shootout. Not to mention questioned about the death of the airport employee next door.
Correction: Why would the police seize the bikes in the alley when they may have nothing to do with who did the shootout? Their presence is circumstantial at best. Getting fingerprints from a public place like a bar, where thee are likely millions of fingerprints would not be productive, and police probably wouldn't attempt to get fingerprints.

Men in Black II (2002)
Corrected entry: After they are flushed from MIB HQ, J begins to tell the story of how K used to love to be flushed. In the first movie, just before K hands J the Neurolizer, he says 'not bad for your first day, huh?" They were never flushed in the first movie.

Correction: Neither of the other two had the advance warning that Matrix got when Kirby warned him that he would be a target. Also Matrix deliberately isolated himself in the woods whereas the other two had both likely lived normal suburban lives for many years and wouldn't have suspected anything until it was too late. Even if Lawson had some time to react to the "garbagemen", he was in a bathrobe and not in the same physical condition still as Matrix, so it would've made little difference against two men with machine guns, same with Forrestal against a man running him down with a car.
