How so? As I understood it bullet-time, eg in The Matrix, is an internal perception of time slowing; they're not changing the flow of time in the Matrix just choosing to perceive the computer generated scenes at a modified rate. The external "physics" is identical: Just as in a video player the images are fixed by the physics whether their presentation time corresponds to normal time (standard playback) or their presentation time is slowed (slow motion).

Perhaps we better not get in to a deep discussion of made-up physics?!?

Perhaps we'd better. Media physics misconceptions can produce hilariously large errors of scale.
