had some slight disagreement on how the martial art Gun Kata should be performed on screen. You can see little friendly jabs to the choreographer in the film. When

performs the Gun Kata at the beginning, you see its very fluid and smooth. The way its actually used in the film is very rigid with a few flowing moves thrown in. Also, in
