Goof fans watch the fight very closely. Travolta's blood noticably changes (in a few shots, there's lots from his nose, then in a second, it's a few spots), not mention the obvious dummy with a gormless expression when he gets hit by the missile.

If I take DVD grabs some time soon (although with my pyscho DVD drive, that's not going to happen soon), you might see these.

Sometimes I wonder whether the relationship between Hale and Deakins is best described as "Former Friends" or "Mentor/Pupil"? I know Hale says in the movie, "Our friendship is over," but still I feel like Deakins was Hale's superior officer and therefore more like a big brother who gave Hale a hard time.

Yes, you have a point.
However, there was never any formal training shown, they were really just buddies with Travolta being the "cool" one.

Grabs added, and I've even managed to capture Matt's "very obvious dummy" as the missile hits Deak smiling smiley.

I wrote the original review from vage memory, so I expected that it would be unfairly sarcastic. However, rewatching it to get the grabs it soon became clear that if anything I was too kind. Their reactions to being hit during the fight scene are hilariously unrealistic, and the detonate/cancel button procedure is wonderfully belaboured.

Hehe, thanks! By the way, that weird glitch where the little picture icon isn't showing up has happened again for some reason.

Just had a thought - Projectile (for the missile)

Thanks for spotting the glitch, and 'projectile' is fair enough too.

I just watched this movie the other night, and I thought this death was pretty awesome.
