Need some help here about a plot. Thanks!

Hi, I have a plot question. Just watched it today on USA, but missed one part. I will appreciate it if someone could help me.

Spoiler....

After Walken killed the assistant, there was a fight between him and Depp, during which Depp grabbed a gun from Walken and shot Walken like twice, then Depp ran away and shot a few other guys. I missed the parts following it. Walken was alive again; was the gun fake or was he wearing a bullet proof, or something else?

Thanks a lot!

Mmm, dream. I am a bit surprised, but I couldn't explain it otherwise either. Thanks a lot!

yes,yes. those darn dream sequences! it took me a bit too get over that. not to get over it persay ... just too understand. i saw it the other day on usa also. i thought it was really good, i love movies that are suspenseful like that. of course johnny depp being in it was alo a perk.

"Is that a plane?"

Yeah, I thought that dream sequence was the weakest thing about the movie. Exaggerated the conflict almost into farce. Maybe they needed to take up some screen time in order to make the real-time-ness of the movie work out.

As a person who readily faints, I can attest to such dreams. While Gene was having the life choked out of him (being strangled), and was passing out because of it, he dreamed. It is amazing how much dream you can fit into the space of just a few seconds. But, I know from experience.

HAHA, I just choked on my lunch! I read "As a person who readily faints" and I lost it! Thanks for the laugh peanut j. Anyway, when my father watched this movie and this dream scene came on, he was so happy that Gene shot Walken. Then when it was revealed it was a dream, he was all disappointed: "You mean that didn't really happen? GEEEEZ."
