** Also he is said to be the son of a highly-skilled gunsmith (which implies early exposure to guns and related skills) and later ended up being trained by the best of the US Army.

As I said on the other page, that\'s just too crappy of a line to count as \"awesome\".


** When Smith shows up at the end of the film [[spoiler: with his hands in bandages]], he's asked by DQ "what took you so long?". He doesn't say anything, but he should have said "Sorry, my hands were a bit tied up". Considering the movie is full to the brim with terrible puns, it's a shame that they missed a chance for one.

** [[spoiler:Actually, TruthInTelevision, there is a nerve in the arm and wrist makes it twitch in the general direction done in the movie. But [[ImprobableAimingSkills hitting hit]] on purpose is next to nill.]]
* BondOneLiner: Seems to make up a good 60-70% of Smith's lines.
* BrokenAesop: A movie that celebrates gun violence has a [[UsefulNotes/AmericanGunPolitics pro-gun control]] message. According to the DVD commentary this was not an attempt at a SpoofAesop, but was simply in keeping with the overall gun theme. All the problems and solutions of the film directly relate to guns.

* HandWave: Parodied. Smith's BeyondTheImpossible [[ImprobableAimingSkills shooting skills]] are implied to be because he eats carrots all the time. Pretty much everybody knows that while carrots can prevent the nutritional deficiency responsible for one of the leading causes of blindness, the idea of carrots improving the vision of healthy people (at least to any significant degree) is little more than an old wives' tale.
** Not really an old wives tale, actually government subterfuge during WW2 - see [[http://www.snopes.com/food/ingredient/carrots.asp here]]

** Also some pretty bad cases of missed cinimatagraphy. With some of the films shot set up in a way that makes you think smith was aiming for allot longer than he was. multiple viewings lead you to believe otherwise (man that guy aims fast)
