Goofs | At the start of the film there are two gangsters burgling a jewelry store. One turns on a flashlight and the other chastises him for turning on the flashlight and then swats at it. But as he is chewing him out, the flashlight stays lit for about 4 seconds. A truly professional criminal would known better to have left that light on for those 4 seconds. A truly profession criminal would have swatted at the light first to get it out as quickly as possible, then, and only then, would he have reamed the torch bearer out. See more » |
