For any other nerdy kid, you probably had to laugh at the fighter jet firing at the semi. **** the missles, I'm going for the machine gun  And I'm pretty sure fighter jets can't hover, fixed wing can't do that (only rotary wing can). I learned today that you can get vertical lift by having some intense feedback control on your thrust, but I've never seen it. And the fighter jet (was it a F-22?) ... fixed wing can't do that either.
I thought the gangsta style shooting was pretty funny. At least it wasn't gangstans holding them sideways and firing them. When you see people try and pull those kind of shots at the firing range, its kinda funny.
And at the end... damn, I should have been a computer engineer.  |
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-35_Lightning_II is the jet that was featured, some of the rumors surrounding the program was that it was supposed to be a replacement for the F-18 for the CAF.

Anyways, most of the computerese in the movie is about as accurate as Swordfish, good concepts, not very accurately executed or portrayed.
However that isn't the reason why I went to see it, as the killing the Heli with a car was simply one of the best lead ups that I've seen. Anyways, really good action movie, although there seems to be instead of the big bad henchman, they've now been replaced by the parkour henchman.
