That doesn't count, Neo (Keanu's character) can bend the rules of physics in the virtual matrix he's fighting in, so recoil could be easily conquered in that sci-fi setting, he also fires an m16a1 in mid cartwheel, but in a world as fallable as a videogame on crack, thats perfectly acceptable within the films fiction.
Also he can fly, so arguing about the physics in The Matrix is really just an exercise in how far you can shove a stick up your own ass.

I wish I could but that was the only part I saw. It was dubbed so it was for sure made in Hong Kong.

Sounds like the classic "putting things into a bag inside a tent so it looks like from outside the tent you are putting things into the mouth of your sleeping roommate" thing.

Anyway, trendy guns and gun mistakes.........
Did you already mention the whole Shur Fine Guns trope?
I think it goes like this:
Jammed gun = broken gun.
Dropped gun = fired gun.
