A guy gets shot directly in the frontal lobe and still lives enough to ask a dog for a paw? Come on!
Once I saw this, the whole movie lost it's flare. Even though it was pretty good overall.
If it wasn't for that one scene I would recommend this movie to my friends, but now it's just 'meh'.
So you basically hated the entire premise of Regarding Henry?

You mean there are people who are willing to seriously discuss the plausibility of a scene in a movie that is supposed not to take itself seriously from beginning to end ?
Harry Dean Stanton smokes while he cut his throat.
Woody Harrelson's mistress is shot in the belly and just stay standing looking at the wound.
Woody Harrelson is shot in the back by Sam Rockwell and just forget about it 5 minutes later.
The real question is not can you survive if you've been shot in the head, it's does anyone in real life who has been shot in the head took time before dying to ask a dog fo its paw. No one gave us a case about that.
I just rolled my eyes at this scene. How likely is it that he survives the initial gunshot wound to his head and stays conscious long enough to pat the dog that just rejected his owner's presence? And why would the dog reject his owner?
Apparently it had a good home and attention. Being kidnapped would probably have been traumatic for the dog. This whole scene didn't make sense and seemed written for irony and humour.
The point of the headshot was to totally dismiss the idea a gunshot would blow up a man's head. That bit was set up earlier. Yes, you can get hit in the head and not die right away or at all. Not really the point of the scene. If this one moment is ruining it for you, it's probably just not for you as a whole.
shareYeah that was an unrealistic out of place scene in an otherwise realistic film.
Moron.
Seems like other folks have all taken this thread to be their "shot in the head" statistic thread, and I guess I'll fall in line.
I actually know someone through a friend who was shot in the head at point blank range and is actually still alive! He doesn't have hearing in one ear, but other than that he lives and works in a perfectly normal existence.
Maybe the scene was a bit far-fetched, but strange things have happened in reality. I think threads like this and the notion that bullets instantly kill, etc are an interesting way to observe the effects media has on people.
Sometimes reality isn't as "real" as people think.

Is it true that there's a spot in a mans head where if you shoot it it will explode? hahah Simon Pegg had it right.
people have had iron rods arrows AND bullets go through their brains right in that spot and live... for 20 years not just a few moments.

well.. in real life tupac didnt die when he got shot for the first time, and they did shoot him 5 times. and he survived from that
shareit was supposed to be absurd, even comical.
