The movie features a lot of violent gun battles, and for some audience members, the sound of those gunshots were jarring enough that it caused chaos in the theater.
During a major shootout in the film, police said some in the audience believed there was an actual shooting happening outside.
A couple of people ran outside, warning other theater patrons to get out.

Police rushed to the theater after calls to 911, but cleared the scene after realizing the gunfire was just from the movie.
