Corrected entry: In the scene where Mr. Smith drops his gun in the toilet, he proceeds to clean it as though guns are not waterproof. The worst part of this scene is that the gun does fail to fire since it's apparently wet. Guns will fire when submerged in water so they will certainly fire when wet.

Shoot 'Em Up (2007)
Corrected entry: During the robbery at the end of the film, one of the wannabe badguys extends his left middle digit towards Mr. Smith, who then shoots it off. Since the gunsel's torso was directly behind the extended finger, the bullet, unless it was deflected by the upraised phalange, should have ended its journey somewhere around his left lung.
Correction: In between the shot of him extending his middle finger and the actual shooting, a couple of seconds pass where the camera is on Smith. In these seconds, the gunman is also shown to be reacting to Smith's tricks with the gun, which means he had time and opportunity to move both his body and his hand.

Shoot 'Em Up (2007)
Corrected entry: Smith picks up the baby's mother to run away from Hertz after he finds out the gun won't shoot because of the finger prints reader. On the way to the stairs, she gets a bullet in her forehead. But Hertz is shooting from behind her, so the shot should be in the back of her head.

Correction: He cleans the gun because it just fell into a VERY disgusting toilet bowl. It's not something he would want on his hands, especially since he'll be handling a baby. After he has finished assembling the gun again and tries firing, he discovers to his (and the audience's) surprise that the gunpowder in the shells had gotten wet as well, which is why the gun does not fire.
