When Mr.Furious, The Blue Raja, and The Shoveler go to Casanova's mansion and get attacked by the disco boys, when Tony C is kicking them, his foot is about 1 foot away.
Of course it was a foot away! if you look at the other guys, their weapons don't come in contact either. in fact, it was made blatantly obvious that they struck the good guys. It's the spirit of the movie!
