He wasn't shoulder shot, he was shot an inch or two to the left of the heart, and about an inch or two above the left lung with a hi caliber handgun. thats usually a fatal shot especially if not treated immediately.
yes, you're right, other agents heard his story as well. Thnx for refreshing me. Lots of disbelieving gumshoes as well too. But at least the FBI did have the benefit of finding the shoulder transplant that fell into the tub. Miguel Farrar would have been his Ex commanding officer. He was booted out of the service, on the spot, after he roughed up Raymond (But then "ordered" to seek treatment the following week. Small point that I'm not picking at).
Lets see if MovieMistakes.Com picks up on any other goodies as well. None so far.
But I still call BS on this as the resolution was way too simplistic (not that I didn't want our hero to get off free!). Theres too many impossible to imagine loose ends. The FBI acting, in a spontaneous manner, to get him out of the building, treated PROFESSIONALLY for a torso shot, with no one noticing, and getting a dead body in place in a very short period of time, of this wanted German terrorist. And the FBI believing Marco, with the only physical evidence being a small shoulder transplant the he says, without verification, that he bit out of Raymond's shoulder. Just because WE know it for sure, doesn't mean FBI knows it, especially given his recent seemingly paranoid behavior. No way I'm watching this again (til DVD at least), too many other flicks to sink my teeth into, not the least of which is Jeff Bridges', The Door In The Floor.
