His injury.
I wouldn't have a problem if his wounds were less critical.
But the way he was hurt he should have died after a few hours, if not less.
No way survive like that and fight like a crazy man.
*beep*
And the funny thing is that making his wounds less serious wouldn't have affected anything else in the movie.
Overall a nice movie.
There was that mountain climber that got pinned under a 800 lb boulder for five days without food or water. he ended up cutting off his own arm that was pinned in the boulder and hiked 8 miles down a mountain for help.
There been lots of real stories more amazing than this where people have survived. The human body and mind is amazing.
If I hadn't watched the "I Survived" series on Biography, I'd agree with you. It's amazing what we can survive.
shareThe only reason I agree is because of the amount of blood he lost on the car and how fast he was bleeding when they showed shots of his stomach.
I don't care who you are, there's no way he wouldn't have bled out within at least half a day.
Thank you.

And people survived the holacoust and plane crashes, BUT THEY DIDN'T BLEED 491284290820 liters of bloods did they?
Seriously, check out I Survived. A typical episode has one woman shot 4 times and left for 48 hours.

did the person stand up (after having 2 broken kneecaps) and have a fight with a healthy person and win? then push open a garage door after bleeding for 24+hrs?
i have a bridge in jersey i'd like to sell you for real cheap.
Obviously, you're not a doctor... so your assumptions are solely based on movies anyway. So what makes this less believable? Like people here have said, humans are very resiliant and I have no trouble believing that he would survive. Walking, maybe not... but survive, yes.
shareI agree, the movie made his injuries seem pretty severe. But while I had no problem believing that his body and mind kicked into survivor-mode for the 24 hour (or so)that the movie covers after he was hit, it lost me when they have him standing up and hobbling on that seriously fractured leg. Splinted or not, that would have been impossible. That really bugged me.

He had an 8 inch screen wiper mechanism inbedded in his abdomen for 12 hours or so - theres no way he didnt bleed to death.
sharefact is he would of died, this is obvious seeing as the real life person that went through the same ordeal only survived for a few hours
share^^ I really hate when people say something is a "fact" when it most certainly is not. You say the guy should have died because look at the real life victim...he did. So what? Maybe the real-life victim had more serious injuries than the guy in the movie role. Maybe he didn't have the will and fight to survive like the guy in the movie.
The "fact" is that lots of people in REAL LIFE have sustained worse injuries than the guy in this movie, and SURVIVED. There was the guy who fell 500 feet straight down to the bare concrete. He survived. Yes that really happened. The guy who jumped out of a plane to skydive, but his parachute never deployed and he plummeted 2,000 feet into a field. He survived. There have been countless people who have shot themselves in the head to commit suicide but THEY survive. Or the climber in Utah who cut his own arm off and then hiked for miles and miles and miles. HE SURVIVED.
The "fact" is that YOU don't know whether he "should have" died or not. Like I said above, there have been people who have sustained far worse than the guy in this movie and they lived. So please please please, don't try and pass your OPINION off as fact.
salmo- the reason he DIDN'T bleed to death is that the wiper stayed in the wound basically plugging it up.
if you noticed, the hole started gushing when he pulled the wiper out until he shoved the tissues in there to block it back up.
also, if he had hit a major organ that resulted in internal bleeding, you would have seen a lot of blood coming out of his mouth just generally and while vomiting (which he also didn't do.
so yes, it's completely possible to have a wound like that and not actually die.
kleenex! great for plugging wiper blade injuries!
hey, maybe he was vietnam vet (survival knowledge). a few of them ended up on the streets.

He didn't fight like a crazy man. He pulled the big guy into the car's window. His center of mass was lower and the big guy was bent over. Using his weight and the big guy's lack of balance would probably make this pretty easy.
Then, while the big guy was dazed from the window smack, the wounded guy shoved a pen through his eye and into his brain. Arguably, the eye was the softest, most accessible part of the big guy's body.
