If you were to sustain such an injury, there would be so much swelling, not to mention just destroyed tissue, that you wouldn't be able to move that arm for weeks. Yet a few minutes later, she is seen hefting around a very large assault rifle, and seems to have no difficulty. I guess it's a pretty standard action movie "heroes can temporarily ignore injury in order to save the day" kind of oversight, but it just seems exaggerated in this case, considering how severe the shoulder trauma looked. 7403 When they are learning how to throw knives, the guy gets one thrown through his hand. If you watch this in slow motion, blood starts coming out of his hand before the knife hits. 12197 In the first battle with the Roughnecks, Rico, Diz, Ace, and the other guy are confronted by a bug and they shoot at it. If you look at where they are aiming they are shooting above it, but the bullets hit it in the middle. 99512 Rico lives in Buenos Aires, which has no hills within a couple of hundred miles. The city shown in the film has hills. 165175 When Rasczak tells everybody to fall back into the compound and "hold what they've got", there is a shot of one of the bugs being killed and landing on some silver containers, knocking them over. The wires used to pull the containers over are visible.
