Yup - "Gotcha" which I referred to above.

I left out that the kid who got drawn on by the capital cop had popped out from behind a column on the NY State Capital, with the paintball gun pointed at the cop.

It looks more like a camera than a gun, but running around concentrating on it instead of what's going on around got a couple of people in the video terminated, and could lead to something similar in real life.

Right after Anthony Edwards did "Gotcha" in 1985 it became kind of a cult thing to have "street" paintball, and we had more than one traffic incident where kids were concentrating on their opponent almost to the exclusion of everything else, and once a NY State Capital Police officer drew on a kid who came out from behind a column pointing a gun. The cop was a friend of mine and remained shaken by the incident even though he recognized (eventually) the gun to be an airgun and did not pull the trigger, but he was "that close."
