Makibishi could be thrown like a shuriken[6] and could also be used against an enemy on horseback.[7]

Contrary to common misconception, these weapons were not designed to be thrown or coated with poison.

The shuriken would sometimes be thrown in a way that slashed the opponent in a glancing blow and travelled on, becoming lost, causing the opponent to believe that the cut had been made by an invisible swordsman.[1]

There are reports of shuriken being coated with poison, intended either as a throwing weapon or to be left in a conspicuous place for a victim to pick up.[6]

According to an interview with Tarkovsky in 1979, the film has basically nothing in common with the novel except for the two words "Stalker" and "Zone".[5]

Several similarities remain between the novel and the film.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 22% based on 50 critics reviews, with an average rating of 4.5/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Well-meaning but manipulative on a horrifically misguided scale, Little Boy is the rare faith-based film that many viewers may find legitimately offensive."[11] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 30 out of 100, based on 24 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[12]

Alan Scherstuhl, writing for The Village Voice, describes Little Boy as a "cynical, poisonous, deeply stupid film."[13] Tim Drake of the National Catholic Register said the film "mirrors the Holy Trinity. ... [Jakob] Salvati brings an endearing delight to his role. He is a pleasure to watch. ... The film is a nostalgic parable about faith. Yet it's not what would be described as a faith-based film. Rather, it's a mature story containing Catholic elements. It treats both the faith of Father Oliver and the lack of religious faith of Hashimoto with respect." However, Drake does object to the way in which it treats the atomic bombing of Japan.[14] Kathryn Jean Lopez of the National Review said that the film's message is "subtle and luminous", and the film is "remarkably sweet in the least saccharine but also most humane way... a tender movie that inspires hope." She summarized it as a "heart-wrenching and encouraging movie dealing with life and death, and with faith, hope and love."[15] Adam R. Holz, editor for the entertainment reviewing arm of Focus On The Family Plugged In, reviews: "Little Boy, then, can certainly serve as a solid (and delightfully entertaining!) launching pad for discussions about what it means to believe, and how we navigate the specifics of why we believe what we believe about miracles and God's sustaining hand in the midst of danger and tragedy. It also powerfully addresses the way we (should) treat those we think are our enemies."[16]

In 2003, Grant Taylor (Alex Kendrick) is the head coach at Shiloh Christian Academy, and has yet to post a winning record in his six-year tenure. After his seventh season begins with a three-game losing streak, the players' fathers start making noises about replacing him with defensive coordinator Brady Owens. This is not the only problem Grant is facing; his car is breaking down, and he discovers that he is the reason that his wife Brooke cannot become pregnant.

He creates a new coaching philosophy and decides to praise God, no matter what the result. At the same time he guides and urges each one of his players to give the maximum effort, and motivates them to believe they can win under God's guidance. This influence spreads to the rest of the school. From that point on, the Eagles win all their remaining regular season games after losing the first three and make the state playoffs. As a result, Grant is given a raise in salary rather than being fired and is also provided with a brand-new truck from grateful boosters. The Eagles lose their playoff opener, but are declared the winner after the opponent used ineligible players. The Eagles then advance all the way to the state championship game against the three-time defending champion Richland Giants. Even though the Eagles have only a third as many players as the Giants, the Eagles hold their own and ultimately win the game on a 51-yard field goal from a backup kicker who had never kicked more than a 35-yarder before. Grant's prayers for children are also answered as he and Brooke have children after two years.

Roster

The following is the roster of all players for the Ducks,[1] along with jersey numbers, playing positions and appearances in the three films. Seven of the players appear in all three films (Germaine, Averman, Moreau, Goldberg, Reed, Conway, and Banks). Their coaches are Gordon Bombay (Estevez, D1 and D2) and Ted Orion (Nordling, D3).
No. Player Hometown Position D1 D2 D3 Portrayed By
00 Guy Germaine serves as a model player for the Ducks on the ice and is arguably second only to Banks in terms of skill. In D1, he is part of the "Oreo Line" with the Hall Brothers. He and Connie Moreau are in a relationship as seen by a victory kiss at the end of D1 and a near kiss in the beginning of D2. St. Paul, MN F Yes Yes Yes Garette Ratliff Henson
1 Terry Hall only appears in the first movie and is Jesse's younger brother. Minneapolis, MN F Yes Jussie Smollett
2 Tommy Duncan only appears in the first movie and is Tammy's younger brother. Minneapolis, MN D Yes Danny Tamberelli
4 Dave/Lester Averman serves as a goofball and deadpan snarker of the team. He can contribute on the ice but has trouble dealing with opposing enforcers. Averman is the second most injured person in the series, tied with Guy. Brooklyn Park, MN F Yes Yes Yes Matt Doherty
5 Tammy Duncan only appears in the first movie and serves as the team's figure skater. Minneapolis, MN F Yes Jane Plank
6 Julie "The Cat" Gaffney has the quick glove and is the team's second goalkeeper. Although she is the better of the two team goalies, Julie does not become the starter until D3. Her reputation as "The Cat" is cemented when she stops Iceland's Gunner Stahl's shot to give the Ducks the championship in the Junior Goodwill Games. She is one of the reasons the Ducks won their final games with her miracle saves. Bangor, ME G Yes Yes Colombe Jacobsen
7 Dwayne Robertson is a ranch hand and the best puckhandler. Dwayne provides much of the team's comic relief with his Texas demeanor and tendency to show off. Austin, TX F Yes Yes Ty O'Neal
9 Jesse Hall is a forward who does not attend Eden Hall with the rest of the Ducks in D3. His loudmouth, outspoken attitude sometimes gets him into trouble, but at the same time enables the Ducks to form their friendship with new recruits Adam Banks in D1 and Russ Tyler in D2. Minneapolis, MN F Yes Yes Brandon Quintin Adams
11 Dave Karp only appears in the first movie. Comedic and light-hearted, Karp loves to play pranks. Minneapolis, MN D Yes Aaron Schwartz
16 Ken Wu is a former Olympic figure skater who dazzles opponents with his acrobatic, stylish techniques and sets up scoring opportunities. After taking what he has learned from Russ Tyler's LA Street Hockey Team and standing up against an Iceland team member twice his size, Ken became dubbed by Fulton and Portman as "Little Bash Brother". San Francisco, CA F Yes Yes Justin Wong
18 Connie Moreau is the recurring, independent female team player of the Ducks and is extremely proud of it. She and teammates Guy Germaine have a relationship. In the first movie, Averman refers to her as "the velvet hammer." Minneapolis, MN F Yes Yes Yes Marguerite Moreau
21 Dean Portman is the team's heavy enforcer that gives the Ducks a physical presence on the ice. He is close friends with fellow enforcer Fulton Reed and one half of the "Bash Brothers." He does not attend Eden Hall, but does return for the JV-Varsity showdown in the last 15 minutes of the third movie. Chicago, IL D Yes Yes Aaron Lohr
22 Luis Mendoza is the team's fastest skater, having been clocked 1.9 seconds from blue line to blue line. Unfortunately, Luis has trouble stopping, which causes humorous collisions in the games. He's only shown being able to stop once in D2. Miami, FL F Yes Yes Mike Vitar
24 Peter Mark only appears in the first movie. A player with an attitude and induces conflict, he leads a walkout on Coach Bombay. Minneapolis, MN D Yes J.D. Daniels
33 Greg Goldberg is originally from Philadelphia, but lives in Minnesota. Although the weaker and less skilled goalie than Julie Gaffney, Goldberg has the better stick as opposed to Gaffney's glove and is known for his flatulence. In D3, he switches positions from goalie to defenseman. Goldberg also scores winning goal in D3, with an assist from Conway. Philadelphia, PA G/D Yes Yes Yes Shaun Weiss
44 Fulton Reed is initially an outsider but is recruited by the Ducks when Bombay notices his powerful, but inaccurate (1 out of 5 are successful) slapshot (it is so devastating it can leave an imprint of the puck in a goalie's palm). Close friends with Dean Portman and fiercely loyal to Charlie Conway, Reed is shy and reserved, but shows his loyalty by standing up for the Ducks when the Hawks bully them. Like Charlie, he has trouble adapting to Coach Orion at the outset of D3. Reed is the other half of the "Bash Brothers" and the only player on the team to have his or her first name on the back of the jersey. Stillwater, MN D Yes Yes Yes Elden Henson
56 Russ Tyler is a local boy from Los Angeles who teaches the team how to play "for real" following a major upset against Team Iceland in D2. He is recruited into the roster following Adam Banks' wrist injury. Russ fashions his trademark "knucklepuck", a slapshot that curves in a sine curve rather than a direct, straight shot, and is very loquacious. Los Angeles, CA D Yes Yes Kenan Thompson
96 - Captain Charlie Conway is the leader, heart and soul of the team. Although not the fastest, skilled nor strongest player, Charlie is extremely loyal to the Ducks and to his coach, possessing the greatest leadership qualities among his teammates. Charlie does have the highest vertical leap out of all the ducks which is demonstrated by his ability to jump over construction apparatus and small hatchbacks. After Adam Banks got injured during the Junior Goodwill Games, he recruited Russ Tyler for the Ducks. Once Adam was able to return right before the last game he chose to be the bench coach so no one had to give up their spot. He views Gordon Bombay as a surrogate father and grieves when his mentor leaves the team. He eventually learns how to lead the Ducks as Team Captain under new coach Ted Orion in D3 and records the game winning assist against the varsity team in D3. Minneapolis, MN F Yes Yes Yes Joshua Jackson
99 Adam Banks is the most talented and skilled player on the team. Originally a Hawk, Adam is forced to join the Ducks when it is discovered he lives in District 5. Upon his entry, the Ducks envy his wealth and question his heart, nicknaming him "Cake Eater"; only Charlie accepts him into the fold. Adam slowly gains the respect and loyalty of his new teammates. In D3, Adam's skill allows him to join the varsity team at Eden Hall Academy, much to his displeasure. Fortunately, Adam returns to his teammates' side at the JV-Varsity Showdown. Throughout the trilogy, Adam has been the one to sustain the most injuries out of the entire team, the result of being specifically targeted by their opponents.

The term "morphsuit" has become a generic term in the process; one New Zealand-based newspaper refers to competing brand Jaskins as "one of the main online morphsuit brands." Jaskins company founder Josh Gaskin says their origins are unclear, pegging the first usage with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Other applications have included music videos (Black Eyed Peas' song "Boom Boom Pow", including the live performance at the Super Bowl), breast cancer awareness,[13][14] fashion modeling on an episode of America's Next Top Model, social anxiety workshops, television (Charlie Kelly as Green Man), [15] a participant in public art project "One & Other",[16] and social experiments.
