This is where I started to really groan. Out on the street, Tony is walking away from the house. A car comes screeching along the pavement towards him and hits him pretty hard. Tony bounces up onto the hood of the car and breaks through the windshield. The driver slams on the brakes causing Tony to roll off the hood and onto the road. Now since our killers are thorough, four of the five passengers (remember this headcount - we are clearly shown five men in the car) get out to survey the damage. Tony pretends to be knocked out and waits for them to get closer. As the men draw back the slides on their pistols, Tony opens his eyes. He grabs the men... okay I'll try to describe this as best I can. He takes two of the guys by an ankle and flips them up into the air and backwards about twenty feet. Note, he does this while lying on his stomach on the road.

The men come crashing down onto the car, startling the remaining two hit men still inside. "Wait!" you might be saying. "Didn't you say there were five men in the car, and four got out?" Yes, that would lead one to think there would only be one guy still in the car. However this car apparently generates henchmen as they are needed. The other two guys that had come over to view the body begin fighting with Tony. Tony uses his expert kung fu and beats them senseless, leading to the next best stunt of the movie. After some maneuvering, Tony gets the henchmen in a pose resembling spooning, only standing up. He then plants a good solid kick on the chest of the closest guy, sending them flying through three separate arcs. First, a nice liftoff, followed by about another twenty feet of lateral flight, then a descending curve into the side of a car, whose doors are smashed in by the impact, causing an inexplicable small explosion.

Even the not-so-keen-eyed observer will notice the curious lump in the guy's
shirt where his wire is attached. Also of note, somewhere during the flight the
man in the blue shirt gets turned around so he's actually hugging the guy in
white by the time they impact the vehicle.
Tony then turns his attention to the car and its occupants. The man in the orange shirt seems to be in charge, as it were. He commands the driver to back up, then race towards Tony again. As they race towards each other, Orange Shirt pulls a gun and manages to miss Tony with every shot. Tony leaps completely over the car and rolls behind some parked vehicles nearby, spontaneously generating a pistol of his own as he lands. The hit men look around, but can't see Tony anywhere. We are shown that somehow Tony has covered the fifty feet between him and the car without being seen and is hiding underneath it. Tony shoots his magic pistol up through the floor of the car and kills the driver.
Orange Shirt jumps out and points his gun at Tony, and vice versa. However
they both pull their triggers and as luck (and the script) would have it they
are both out of bullets. Orange Shirt runs away down the street calling for
help. Tony picks up a rock, and winds up to throw it. Instead of another well
done special effect, we do a nice jump cut to Sapna's house, where a rock comes
smashing through one of the windows in the living room.
