Carrying on in Bourne Supremacy?

Question

In the Bourne Supremacy when Bourne gets shot in the left shoulder blade by the Russian operative from the bridge, but gets up and carries on, despite already having a leg injury. Me and my friend was womdering how difficult it would be to carry on having being shot there and with the leg injury to then drive a car and do whatever else he does without passing out. Would any soldier be able to do that, or is it just someone as tough as the Bourne character that could without showing no signs of pain?

Answer 1

I hate that in movies.
But, you wouldn't want to main character to just pass
out in the middle of the climax, or important scene.
I am a big fan of the movie "Scream" and they do the
same exact thing.
Randy, he was shot, thought to be dead, but then got
up, and was able to talk and act like a normal person.
Have reflexes, such as jumping back from Billy Loomis.
And, in "Scream 2" when Gale was shot, she pulled herself
out of the rubble she was underneath. Then later, acted as if
she was fine.
Its a movie. I would appreciate it if the main character didn't
die, or get weak all of a sudden, but i would like them to realisticly show thier pain.
So, its just a movie.
Though, Bourne was a tough guy, it could be possible it wasn't nessecary to show signs of pain.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Answer 2

Its a movie, so you have to put things in perspective, but with an individuals adrenaline surging at full tilt, it is definitely possible.
