How did Bob Lee escape the compound?


I felt like I missed some scenes. One minute Bob Lee is wrestling the militia leader. The next scene he is crouched behind a truck with the militia leader's brother holding off the FBI. Then the next scene he is riding down the road on his motorcycle. How did he get out of those predicaments?

I noticed that too. It was very lazy editing. The compound was surrounded by agents yet he is able to slip past and evade detection. It would've been nice to see how!

Bob Lee wasn't the only one to get out. The leader's brother took a hike also after BLS's encouragement. As for the compound being surrounded, they would have needed a military regiment to surround that vast amount of space. They caught who they caught, mostly those who were standing their ground to fight. BLS was not one of those. I'd say he just started running, using the landscape as cover.


It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it.

It was worse than lazy editing. It completely negated the reason for casting a pro wrestler. I assume there was a cool fight scene that got cut, and that fight scene is probably why they cast Orton in the first place. I was hoping for a Roddy Piper / Keith David from 'They Live' type of fight scene and what we got instead was a big fat nothing.
