An excerpt from the screenplay of Avatar, recently made available as a a PDF, proving that James Cameron is really just 10-year-old boy who gets to spend $300 million dollars making movies of his action figures.

Quaritch SLASHES DOWN with the knife and Jake parries,
blocking it with the cannon. He CLOSES faster than the suit
can move and —

K-CRACK! — SLAMS the end of the cannon into the canopy,
crazing it with a web of cracks as QUARITCH SLICES air with
the huge knife. Jake ducks, coming up to meet the next slash
and —

SMASHES the knife hand with the cannon once — twice — again
— in a furious attack — knocking the knife flying.

QUARITCH catches him with the other arm, hurling him away.
Jake rolls just before —

THUDDD! — the massive foot stomps down where he just was. He
scrambles up as Quaritch CHARGES and —

JAKE DUCKS another round-house, LEAPING forward to smash the
canopy again — then again — until it is WHITE with cracks.
Quaritch manages to GRAB the cannon barrel but —
INSIDE THE COCKPIT, he sees nothing but the sun on the
shattered glass. HE HURLS the cannon blindly, but Jake ducks.
The massive cylinder cartwheels toward the shack and —

FROM INSIDE we see it CRASH against pressure window, crazing
it but not penetrating. Jake’s link sits just inside.

INSIDE THE COCKPIT, Quaritch yanks a yellow handle and —
P-FOOM! — the canopy BLOWS OFF, flying through the air.
Quaritch can see again. He dons his breathing mask. Bends to
pick up his KNIFE.
