But no. American's always know best, so they brought in one of their own rather than use a legend of the field.

American weapons in the movies particulary handguns always seem to sound like a big weapon and the destructive power of one. In the movie Wind and the Lion, the Marine Captain's small pistol made a loud sound and when he shot a person, there was a large glob of blood spurting out of the person, and the person made a loud yelling sound and did violent body maneurvers to show that he was shot. When the German officer shot someone, it made a small sound, there was no large gaping hole in the person he shot, and the person hardly made a large yelling sound.

10) If someone is driving a high speed boat straight at your boat: Don't try to change course: Instead scream obscenities and let the other boat ram your boat.

11) When you plan a robbery, bring along a pound of cocaine and snort it. Instead of selling the it for a much larger profit.

12) Police investigations in Hong Kong: The first place you go to is the "massage club" and investigate by getting a bj under the massage table. (That table in the movie is legendary in real life. The way a man lies down and gravity = 7th heaven)

13) The massage club investigation explains why 2 cops "just stood there holding their dicks while they kidnapped the girl"

14) During a slow boat chase in Hong Kong: always drive near other boats so Jackie can follow by doing stunts jumps between boats instead of just heading straight out to sea escaping Jackie.

15) When you are a sniper with a clear shot on Jackie: You have to wait shooting Jackie until Danny can grab a 20mm canon and blow you to pieces.
