Umm...I'm pretty sure Dustin Hoffman legitimately hurt that woman in the jewelry store


Right after Dustin smashed in one of the jewelry displays with his gloved hand, he grabs the woman behind the counter by her wrist and wrestles what appears to be a watch away from her. According to the director commentary, they used real glass in the robbery scene because 'sugar glass' didn't look real enough. But that would mean Dustin more than likely had tiny bits and shards of glass on him when he went from smashing in the counter to immediately grabbing that woman's arm. It would actually be amazing if she *didn't* get cut when he grabbed.
