Man stumbling out of elevator on fire


Referring to the crowded elevator that opened on the floor of the fire, which McQueen tries to shoot water into just before it closes again. Later, when the elevator opens and the guy staggers out into the lobby, he falls face-first onto the edge of a step. It almost looks as if his head came off when he landed, but the film cuts away just as that happens. Did anyone else notice this?

Yes it did fall off which is probably why they cut away as quickly as they did and then came back to the actor laying in the same spot with his head reattached
