Kill It with Fire entry: if they really are using Dragon's breath, that doesn't seem to be an accurate description of this kind of ammo. Dragon's breath shells are loaded with magnesium pellets/shards and they ignite way before impact. Maybe the entry is correct if they aren't using Dragon's breath. But then again it can be seen that the shotguns are "shooting fire"...

Two questions:
Does Snow Means Death apply during the scene where John visits the New York Continential's private graveyard, particularly given that Charon and the Continential itself (in a sense, being blown up and all) recently died at that point in the movie?
Does Four Is Death also apply (zig-zagged) for the Sainte-Coeur stairway scene? Since Chidi kicks John down the entire stairway, the former effectively makes the latter climb 444 (222 * 2) steps up to the church for the scheduled duel, but Chidi is the (named, since there are many many dead mooks as well by this point) one who dies at the end of that sequence.

Snow Means Death, maybe, but the Four Is Death one seems like a really big stretch. I could argue that putting snow in the memorial scene was a deliberate choice by the creators, but the 444 steps thing reads as arbitrary and more of accidental symbolism than anything.
Thanks for playing King's Quest V!

Does Worf Had the Flu really apply during John and Caine's duel in the finale? It seemed pretty clear that John intended to shoot the Marquis dead himself, and and pretty much predicted that the man would be arrogant enough to try and finish John off himself when he survived the third round. And John may have been predominantly right-handed, but he is very clearly ambidextrous, as shown by his proficiency of using the nunchucks with both hands earlier in Osaka.

Yeah, I don't think the trope applies myself. In the first two rounds, John proves to be just as accurate and as fast on the draw as Caine is. In fact, in the second round, John wounds Caine in the abdomen - a normally more fatal spot - while Caine only manages to hit John on the shoulder.
It's quite likely that John, who really doesn't want to kill his old friend Caine, throw the last match to let Caine win while counting on the fact that the Marquis would be arrogant enough to step in and finish him off while also setting Caine free of his obligation to the High Table in the process. That way, while John lost the duel against Caine, technically he didn’t *lose* since his chosen opponent has always been the Marquis, and because the Marquis foolishly steps in do a coup de grace and makes himself part of the duel, John manages to kill him and technically comes out the winner in such a way that set Caine free as well.
