SPOILERS - does, at the end...


... Billy Zane's character die? And also, what are the odds of getting hit in a mouth with a flare gun? Thanks.

reply

Yes, he dies.

I am not a mathematician, are you looking for the actual odds?

reply

Well, maybe just a small theory of probability or some statistics, if at all, although it was also a bit quick and hard to tell, maybe he just got him in lower part of the face with that flare that may have spread out, and the point I also was making was asking how realistic that part was, out of curiosity, nonetheless?

reply

Ha, fair. I would imagine it would be a pretty small chance that it would hit him right in the mouth, especially since he was behind a curtain.

reply

True, I wonder though (it was a bit quick and somewhat hard to tell visually), was he really hit IN the mouth or just the lower part of his face, but the flame etc simply spread out towards his mouth also?

reply

Looked like right in the mouth, I actually paused it when watching, haha. It seemed to glow/emanate from his mouth.
