Goofs

Fireworks mortar tubes must be at least Schedule 40 ABS tube, not the lightweight Schedule 80 PVC tube shown. The lifting charge would immediately explode through such a thin tube. Fireworks are never launched without maintaining a visual reference to the mortar racks (which incidentally are banned by law to be placed on rolling trailers), allowing the pyrotechnician to immediately cease launching if there was any damage or instability to those racks.

User Reviews

Entertaining

Awesomely staged deaths. I compare these deaths to Micheal Jordan's sweet moves: he fakes right, then goes left, and then BAM!... These deaths scenes pretty much do the same thing. They're like those little domino-esquire setups (they have a term for it for which I can't remember).. you know, the ball hits the stick which then wacks the coo-coo clock, and then the beak goes through your neck as you're trying to reset your clock. Man, this 10 line minimum thing is BS. This is all I had to say about the movie, and I'm only on line 7. Damn. Okay what else. Oh I wish they would've put more effort into characterization. It was too 'in my face'. I mean right off the bat they shoved each character smashing towards screen: here's the heroin! Here's the side kick.. the jock, the duchebag... then the emo-goths who love physics. It was too aggressive. Is that 10 lines yet? Phew! Okay...well there you go. Enjoy the movie.
