Death Wish picture

Continuity mistake: When Fish gets shot in the leg and runs out of ammo, we see him on the monitor still trying to shoot in vain. When it cuts to him, the slide is locked back and we see him release the slide and try to shoot. But in the next shot of him, the slide is once again locked back. Since we know he's out of ammo and he didn't reload or fire the gun, the only way for that to happen is if he manually pulled the slide back, which he didn't have an opportunity to do (not that it would even make sense to do).
