Most movies use physics from an alternate universe. Bullets flash when
they
hit things (even wood!). People outrun shock waves from explosions. The
MAC
10 holds an infinite amount of ammo. You can poison a whole airplane by
contaminating the pressurization and/or the oxygen system.
Alternatively,
the airplane pressurization will keep a plane filled with air even under
water. Small aircraft routinely outclimb and run into airliners.

As for Goldfinger, I suppose he *could* have hit the elevator and jammed
it
when he was sucked out. But, really, why let the facts get in the way of
a
good story?

An interesting take on the situation especially in light of the fact that
there has been a case of a cabin window being shattered by engine debris
resulting in a PAX being blown out through that window.
