Corrected entry: At the end of the movie when Joe, Nice Eddie and Mr. White have their guns drawn, Joe is pointing at Mr. Orange; Mr. White is pointing at Joe; and nice Eddie is pointing at Mr. White. They all shoot and they all go down, but no one is pointing a gun at Nice Eddie but he still goes down. Director Quentin Tarantino in a Bravo Channel interview was aware of the goof, but left it in.

Correction: Watch in slo-mo, and you'll see it makes perfect sense. Joe shoots Mr. Orange, and Mr. White shoots Joe a few frames later. Eddie then shoots Mr. White - as Mr. White falls he manages to turn his gun slightly and actually gets off TWO shots as Eddie, killing him too.

OP is correct. Chris Penn once explained that his blood squib went off earlier than planned, forcing him to fall to the floor before time. Penn said that Keitel was supposed to shoot Tierney and then him, but the squib on Keitel went right off after shooting Tierney, so he went down before he shot Penn, whose squib went off anyway, so he had to fall too. It was bad timing but Tarantino decided to keep the scene in.
