Leaving the cop alive was pretty unforgivable, and I was WTFing through that scene. Also, the fact that he headshotted a running woman across the room with a snubnose revolver, with apparently legal blindness....
However the car shootout with the other criminals made sense given everything else we've seen. Clearly this guy used to be a total badass, but then his eyes started failing and he couldn't take the heavy hitter jobs anymore. But as long as his muscle memory and reflexes were still halfway decent, he could have handled that fight pretty well, since in that confined of a space it would be more about reaction than seeing what's going on.

I got the feeling from certain setup scenes that Topo could hear very well and sense escalating situations even better. Billies wifes headshot was definitely a surprise but i knew as soon as Topo got in that car he was going to kill them all lol
I was kinda expecting Topo to ask Chloe if he had, in fact, killed the wife but then thought to myself that Topo was still trying act as if he can see because of Billy so went with it. Who is to say Topo wasn't just trying to shoot her in the arm or leg..
He obv. didn't feel the need to Kill Bill at that moment; what w/ being in a fairly suburban looking neighborhood he prob. just wanted to get out of there without more gunshots. That close up of Bills face was a huggge hint/foreshadowing of his escape/return, of which i did not mind; people make mistakes even career criminals. Def. shoulda capped his arse though lol
The ending was all right; imo it woulda suffered if not for the acting of Logan Marshall-Green. He killed his last scene. We were shown that Topo had felt some sympathy for Chloe and her daughter throughout the film so once he killed his boss and his muscle he prob. simply wanted to do something good for a change..
