Ah, I assume someone else would have lol. I just hadn't heard it mentioned before.

No harm done. It happens. I once asked a question on a thread and someone pulled up a twelve year old thread on me. LOL.

Plus he would have slumped over and be hanging head and hands down towards the floor, not remain upright and straight up like that.

Yeah, that was a part of the ridiculousness I was referring to.

As opposed to getting stabbed in the neck with a knitting needle, a clothes hanger to the eye, stabbed in the stomach with a large knife, shot 6 times at point blank range, falling off a balcony, and then just getting up and walking away?

Considering that, pinning the dude to the wall doesn't seem that ridiculous at all.

What the hell are you talking about? LOL
Those things are all pretty normal compared to being pinned to the wall with a knife....Slightly unrealistic but nowhere near as ridiculous. It does not compare at all.

One reason this movie is overrated.
