It's basically a hollow tube which fires a rocket, so there's no recoil. One thing – Their arms are safe from being broken by firing a bazooka.

Hate them for many things, but I think they get the benefit of the doubt on this one. Jesus, Lee doesn't even look like he knows where he is...

Chuck had a record of 83-10-2. Lee had a Purple Heart. The cover is not their fault. Blame some idiot designer raised on Van Damme and Will Smith.

Did you watch it? Maybe your concerns are adequately addressed in the film. As for the improper handling of the bazookae, I'm sure they were merely hefting the weapons for their action movie cover shoot. I'm sure they'd use them correctly if they were in an actual hostage rescue situation. sheesh! anyway, thanks for the laugh! did you actually buy the movie? Did you watch it?

How about Bazooka Joe? Either way, that's one phallus-y cover.

The other sad part of this story is that there was only one copy left - meaning that others had been purchased.
