One example our group chose to demonstrate contradicting observations in sight sound and motion was the infamous Cricket Gun featured in the movie Men In Black. While watching the clip viewers observe that Tommy Lee Jones hands Will Smith an incredibly small single handed, silver firearm, while he takes for himself a significantly larger two handed silver gun. Viewers then hear Will Smith complain about the size of his gun as he wrongly associates it's size with it's power. When the small gun is fired it makes a very faint noise that sounds like a cricket chirping and then amazingly the power of the weapon sends Will Smith flying across the room into a wall and causes a fairly large explosion as it destroys a large window. The motion of the gun when firing completely contradicts both the sight of it and the sound it makes.
