When someone gets hit by a bullet, they don’t really fly 20 feet backwards.

Is that based on personal experience? :-)

Unless it's an .88 Magnum. They shoot through schools, you know.

A guy gets shot by a handgun and flies ten feet back. Another gets shot by a rifle and walks two feet FORWARD in order to fall off a second story balcony. Go figure.

Oliver Stone’s movie “JFK” did enormous damage to truth. It is a prime example of impossible ballistics and trajectories.

I think there was a Wesley Snipes movie where he was playing the regular action hero and he jumped off a building and landed on his feet. Even the reviewer caught that one.

Instead of wasting his time showing his class ridiculous movies based on fantasy, he should have showed them the movie “Jackass”. I heard there was a treasure trove of examples of Physics, Gravity and Propulsion.
