No glass was harmed during the making of this film...

Oh my God, I wonder how much of their budget was blown on sugar glass, it seemed like every scene someone was thrown through a window pane, or landed on a car window screen, or an explosion rips through a whole bunch of windows. Shards of glass here and there, everywhere!. I don't think I have ever seen so many people thrown through glass such as in this movie, it started to become comical :P
Anyone else notice this, director has some strange fetish eh?

"..release me to the care of my heartless strap."

hahaha.. came here to see if anyone else noticed the excessive/overuse of broken glass. It's like the title should have been,
"The Invisible Glass"
the one thing they cant avoid/see.

Also what ruins the stunts are the angle shots. I know that was a crazy stunt but being subtle about it is the way to go, no need to see the same scene twice (or more like OngBak movies).

Nothing like seeing someone put through a window.
I doubt it was a fetish but just for something different.

The crap coming out of Hollywood these days with maybe 1 in 20 worth my money to see.
It is refreshing to see a flick with some grand old kick butt violence that does not have Jet Li or Donnie Yen in it..
