(could have been 'chop-soxy' BTW - a nickname for martial arts)
anyhow - in the film The Gun about a big cannon being taken to save a situation by Mexican revolutionaries - there have been many big set pieces and you see various people getting blown up. when the lead character says "these men have died already" they are not wrong, as they used the same extras, some of whom are individually recognisable, for more than one battle. we fell about laughing because we'd already noticed the same fat guy with a moustache get blown up 2 or 3 times by then.
