In front of the Courthouse building, a helicopter is forced to land with the other villains, one is drugged and has a bomb wrapped around him. But our hero George saves the day, by shooting him before the bomb goes off. The whole sequence of these scenes took over 2 weeks to be filmed and with the gunfight, fall, and helicopter, it added only approximately 5 minutes to the film.
