During the Jason/"Rogue" car chase scene the same cars will appear on different roads. A black mustang can be seen going one direction, then the other, then be seen on a different road. A silver VW bug is seen start to finish during the whole "fast paced" scene.

Reasons to see WAR

Reasons to see WAR

WAR kicks ass, and you should see it a lot of times, for these reasons:

• Jason Statham yelling at people, and then kicking ass. In other

words, being himself.

• Jet Li killing a guy by kicking him in the face....and that's not his

best kill.

• Random girls getting nude for no reason.

• Ninjas. Just when you think this movie couldn't rock any harder, they

put Ninjas in the movie.

• A twist ending that would make M. Night Shawhocares *beep* himself.

• A car chase every 10 minutes. There's even one with motorcycles.

• Violence. Lots of it. Guns, blades, blood, kungfu, decapitations, the

bases are covered.

-Jet Li and Jason Statham fighting each other. It's as epic as you might think.

So, in conclusion, if you, 1. Like things that are awesome. 2. Have a pair of testicles. 3. Need to see a movie that rocks for a change. 4. Are a human being.

...than WAR is for you.
