Note to Self: Never steal Tom Cruise's Briefcase!

All the gun and fight scenes in "Collateral" were coordinated by the same guy. This same guy did all the fight and gun scenes in the movie "Taken" with Liam Neeson. I cannot remember his name.

If you want to see what the whole training package is, find the video series called "Inside the Crucible", available at some stores. They were $45 this weekend, 4 parts.

Second guy is at a disadvantage as he was expecting Tom to do what most sheep do...comply with the big bad guy with a gun. The sudden explosion of activity, since Tom had a plan, would catch him off guard. When Tom pounced, he did a simple avoid, fired 2 shots at low retention at BG1 then 3 shots at the "third eye" moving out to full extension into BG2. BG1 took both shots to the hip area and would not yet be dead, just badly wounded. Just after the animated avatar (thanks mildot) ends, Tom puts one more round into BG1's head.

Just my thoughts.

The creator of the Crucible training is former USMC Kelly McCann, aka Jim Grover (guns and ammo). Also Senior Vice President of Kroll's Security Services Group and an analyst and consultant for CNN.

Not an SAS guy.

"Michael "Mick" Gould is a former Special Air Service (SAS) soldier now working as a technical advisor on many films involving weapons and fight sequences, including Taken, Miami Vice, Collateral, The Score, Ronin, The Replacement Killers, The Long Kiss Goodnight. He worked alongside Andy McNab on Heat."

McNab is an outcast.... the 22 sas regiment itself has scorned him publicly.
Hmm... Very similar situation to another popular trainer/book/DVD seller who became famous/infamous after time in the sand IIRC.
 
Like others said, it is just a movie. Perhaps a bit better coreographed than usual, but still a movie. My only real criticism is that he swept BG1's gun across his body instead of to the left away from himself.
 
Sweeping the gun across his body allowed him to maintain visual reference to where the BG's gun was pointed, which was in the direction of his partner. Sweeping a gun away from you alone is a bad choice. Sweeping the gun in one direction while you move in the other is far more effective which is what 'Vincent" did.
