I too found the wound anatomy class distracting and out of place in the film. Reminded me of a cheesy Sonny Chiba martial arts film ("Streetfighter"?) which showed x-ray stills of broken bones spliced into scenes of Sonny breaking them in his victims. It also reminded me of the bullet travel p.o.v. effects in Tsui Hark's abysmal "Knock Off" (my pick for worst film of 1998).

As for the woman's execution scene, I was thinking of the real-life Vietnam incident as well. But given the young age of "Three Kings" director, I think he may have gotten the scene from Oliver Stone's "Platoon" or any of the hundred or so other films featuring a point-blank pistol execution.
