6. he has no mother you can see unless she is the bride of the invisible man
7. he never gets shot and he also never has the bullets GRAZE him
8. since when is a young adult able to use an automatic?
9. snowy never gets shot
10. in one part a crate drops on the ground RIGHT NEXT TO HIM but he does not get hit by THE METAL BARS THAT EXPLODE OUT!
