Physics in movies isn't real physics
"Saying that shards of broken glass are razor sharp is an understatement. A shattered window contains thousands of incredibly sharp edges and dagger-like points. It takes almost no force for one of these points or edges to cause a laceration. However, people in movies routinely jump through plate glass windows without receiving a single scratch." Via Boing Boing, a site called Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics which takes an interesting and endearingly pernickety look at how celluloid bends reality. For example, that cool shot following the bomb falling from a Japanese plane in Pearl Harbor was apparently a glaring mistake. Of what kind I don't know.

I'll be glorying in the absurdly awful physics of Kill Bill 2 when I see it tonight. :o)
