Hi There

About 1 hour and 10 minutes into the movie, the female pilot Blair is helping the robot human cyborg Marcus escape from the resistance. She uses a small hand held torch to cut his chains free, then attaches the torch to the center of a 4-5 ft round steel grating cover on the wall. She then shoots the torch with her handgun from about 20 ft away. The grating blows clear across the room and they escape to freedom. This doesn't seem plausible. However, it does have two things that make a great movie myth. Guns, and explosions.

Sounds right up your alley eh?

From Canada,

Mike
