Who else thought it was funny when he fell down as he becomes a long armed fellow?

Yes, I too noticed that. Still one of the best action flicks of all-time.

Well, most people are idiots with bad taste...so there!

Definitely and one of the best sci-fi movies as well.

With arms like his, he could had been a basketball player, lol.

He should've stretched his arms out quicker. He might (if he was lucky) have been able to grab onto something to save himself. Unless Robo (Murphy) leaned-out and shot him again.

Nice shooting, son. What's your name?

[–] RIP_IMDb 9 years ago

Murphy.

Cartoonish and hilarious, just as it was intended to be. My favorite part is Morton's buddy rising from his chair, then giving Robo a thumbs up while he spins his gun 

I only wish that Robo saw him and gave him a nod too just like he did for the Old Man.

I noticed it as well. Still one of the most satisfying villain deaths in cinema history.

No way he could have screamed like that when he fell, he was shot several times in the chest and his lungs would have been ruined and his diaphragm would have been ruined with all or most of his ribs shattered, even the muscles in the chest that control breathing would have been badly damaged, in fact he probably would have been dead before he even hit the window, so the screaming was absurdly unrealistic.

...which was a shame as it destroyed the carefully crafted realism the film-makers had build up over the previous 90 minutes.

The funniest bit is when Johnson gives a thumbs up to his colleague shortly after.
