Major Fault found there.


Last night, I saw the film on Australian-released Blu-Ray version ( running time is 89 mins, NOT 103 mins as billed on the back cover of Blu-Ray case cover ) and found a major fault there which is easily-discovered. When three bandits raided in the local bank and nabbing some cash off from staffs. One of the bandit escaping as he jumping over the counter and accidently trips over and hitting his masked head on floor and knocked himself out unconscious. The bandit driver, parking outside, waiting for two in there and pledging them to come out, but one of the other bandit ( Ledger ) staring at fainted bandit on floor, alarming to get him up but at no success. Still remaining completely unconscious, he then calling the bandit driver to assist him. The driver ok'd at him so bewildered, got out of his car to rush inside the bank to pick the knocked-out bandit up, and they all fled out to their stationary car, and he opens the car door, heavily put him on the back seat AND CLOSED THE CAR'S BACK DOOR WITH KNOCKED-OUT BANDIT STILL REMAINING ON THE BACK SEAT. Next, the police car arrives and gave brief shots at their car and successfully bursting out their two back tyres therefore almost inability to drive off to make a clean getaway. Next, they drove off partially success WITHOUT the knocked-out bandit which is left lying on the road OUTSIDE, with blood bullet-in-the-head streaming on the road. So, what's wrong with the editing element regarding about that very scene which is missing ?? Does the 103 mins version have the bang-dead bandit in the car and tossed himself ( when he's dead ) out from the hurriedly car ?? Or Ledger dumped him out which that critical continuity scene is missing ??? That is the big continuity fault. Watch this and you do the math.

On my version there is 80 seconds between closing the door of the car after dropping unconscious robber on back seat & closing the door of the car the 2 of them car-jack.
They dumped unconscious robber on back seat. Then Heath Ledger jumps in the front passenger seat while the driver runs around to the front driver's seat. As he runs in front of the car the police fire their 1st shot & it hits the driver in the head, laying him out on the ground. Then they shoot out the tyres.
So it's not the knocked out robber who's on the ground, it's the car driver.
My "103" minute movie is only 90 minutes. I've seen a different version on the TV where you see the brother get dragged back to hell, near the end, but it's not on the copy I own.
What country are you in for the different edit?

I get the impression robert thought it was the knocked out guy dead on the road rather than the driver.

That's what it sounded like to me too. Sounds like his edit didn't show the driver getting shot, though it was a pretty quick scene.

Not sure what your problem is, Robert, as it is perfectly clear that it was the driver, "Craig", who is killed, and the gang leader, "Wozza", who is knocked unconscious. All of the following scenes: the carjack, the chase by the radio car, the memorial to Craig back at the house; should have cleared up any confusion that a dodgy edit had created.

@robert-hoskin The driver gets shot, and the gunshot wakes up the knocked-out bandit. Watch the scene here:
