Armored Truck rear door...


When Bug is assaulting Alex he didn't need to steal the armored truck because the rear door of the truck is open exposing all the valuables of the truck to anyone by just entering the truck, locating the money bag and then escaping WITHOUT having to steal the truck or starting a public street shootout? Probably too easy and the writer missed that door and created yet another hole in the movie...silly ..

The door was ajar, not wide open. To Bug's way of thinking (and my own, I will admit), he was probably expecting the truck to be filled with bags of money, not just one bag.
Had he grabbed the bag of money, then what? He was to run away with it? Obviously driving is a better course of action.
I didn't understand why he engaged the guards in a firefight and didn't just jump in the truck and drive off - until the part where he told Billy to get the keys. That made me laugh.
(Pretty careless of the driver to have left the door open in the first place though.)
