Hmm. Far be it from me to oppose any cry of "too unrealistic" in a movie,
but that honestly didn't occur to me as I watching.
The thing that _did_ occur to me when the baddie was climbing a tall crane
was... "why not wait for him to come down?"

There were a few moments like that throughout the movie, but honestly it
doesn't spoil it in any way. There's nothing _too_ bizarre.

....But if I was able to run up a scaffolding like that, I suppose it _might_
be possible if you could get a grip with the sole of your shoes, then keep
your legs as straight as possible, while holding on with your hands
(probably need to see the scene to make sense of this)... that would mean
one's backside is 'in the air' as they had in the movie -nothing to do with
a safety harness.


....And the female names aren't innuendoirrific either you'll be pleased to
hear -although they are a bit funny. Also there's a joke on those comic
female names in there too (actually 2 jokes now I think of it).

-Kevin.
