* SpecialEffectFailure: The "prank" played on the Agojie where gunpowder is hidden in the practice dummies to cause a small explosion when they are struck. The little burst of smoke looks just like [[TheCoconutEffect the standard spray of dust]] [[KungFoley which most movies use to show a solid blow]], so it looks like they recoil from their own success and the pranksters start giggling at nothing. It may be [[RealityIsUnrealistic accurate to how small gunpowder looks like]], but the scene is just confusing.
