Rhee breaks down the historical accuracy of treating gunshot wounds during World War II in "Band of Brothers" (2001) and "Saving Private Ryan" (1998), starring Tom Hanks. He looks at the realism of battlefield surgeries in "M*A*S*H" (1979), "Code Black" (2016), and "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" (2003), featuring Russell Crowe. He also discusses the reality of treating other battle and trauma injuries in "The Punisher" (2017); "Grey's Anatomy" S6E18 (2010); "John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum," starring Keanu Reeves; and "Rambo III" (1988), starring Sylvester Stallone.
