Have just watched DEAD POOL and spotted the most obvious goof, not reported here. The character Gus Wheeler threatening to immolate himself, finally does go up in flames only to be 'saved' by Harry and two police officers who douse him with CARBON DIOXIDE gas from fire extinguishers!! Anybody who has attended fire safety drills will recall the possible excruciating effects of being exposed to this gas - rotting flesh, coma, convulsions and possibly death.No sane person would ever allow this fire repellent to come in contact with human flesh especially from the concentrated mixture found in fire extinguishers. Don't try this at home!!!

I hope you are never assigned fire safety duties in any work place you may find yourself employed. Having worked in Aged Care facilities where fire safety education is a priority, the dangers of human exposure to this fire extinguisher
were stressed repeatedly.Yes, the flesh literally rots from the bone if exposure is serious; yes, if inhaled, convulsions and worse can result.
Try putting your hand in 'dry ice' for a few seconds. Good luck!
