 CONT: SPOILER: During the fight between Data and Lore in the cargo  bay, just after Lore shoots Dr. Crusher, Data grabs Lores arm and  the phaser is thrown into the air in the direction of the  transporter pad. Look closely at the phaser. You can clearly see the  Phaser break into 2 pieces and bounce off the transporter pad. Then  in a subsequent shot, the phaser magically appears intact on the  pad. Then in another shot the phaser disappears again. Then finally  when Lore is thrown onto the Pad, the phaser is back and fully  intact.
