Body Bag Squad Paramedics

Fun movie--great performances by the three principal actors.

Only one problem..the scene at the end where the "dead criminals" are hustled out in body bags after the shootout.

Paramedics don't do such things..coroners do, and coroners don't show up at death scenes until long after the paramedics have called them to the scene. After much documentation with firefighters and cops at the scene with them side-by-side. Totally blown credibility for the surprise ending...the screenplay writers should learn more about what police and paramedics do on the streets.

I was thinking the same thing, bodies are not usually removed till quite a bit later.

Yeah, they should have just carried them out on gurneys so it would seem they were being rushed to the hospital to possibly have their lives saved. That would have made sense.

Yes to everything mentioned. It's that sort of movie isn't it? The producers just want you to suspend all disbelief. Of course IRL, the bodies would remain in place, until police, coroner's representatives, forensics etc. had all carried out their investigating of the "incident". 🐭
