I first saw this on the opening sequence of A Few Good Men and I still think it looks briliant today - it just goes to show how good a team can become with enough rehearsal.

It kinda backs up my criticism of some professional sportsmen, particularly soccer players (see how I used the word Soccer to appeal to all corners of the world!?) - when they miss a penalty or spoon a ball out off the pitch in some spastic display of lack of talent.

If you think about it - those guys should be able to hit the same targe 999/1000 times without any trouble because they should be well practiced enough. But they dont - they often 'cock' it and everyone say "Oh its OK - he was probably nervous!"

Nervous? Try whipping a bayonet around your head at speed - in sync - with spot lights half blinding you - thats nervous!

They are very slick, aren't thay. And I'll second what Stead said beacuse it all sounded quite clever.

Bill Murray is a god! Was a god, I should say. Then he made that Lost in Translation bollocks...

That's true - he did slip a bit - cool to see a young John Candy and Harold Ramis in there too!
