Administrators Eric Posted July 11, 2018 Administrators Share Posted July 11, 2018 Another thing that bugged me was some of the ridiculous noises they began dubbing in for small arms fire, starting in the sixties. Even when I was very young, I knew that guns didn’t sound like that and it irritated me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glockman97420 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 How about multiple clicks trying to fire the empty semi-auto. The slide didn't lock back when empty? Is it one of those "second chance" models like (can't remember who) makes that lets you pull the trigger again if a round didn't go off? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be fare, when I shoot a Sig P226, 229, etc, the slide never locks back, since I ride the manual safety. Wait, what? That’s not a safety? i spoke with a firearms guy who consulted on a few movies. His biggest frustration is, once the filming is done, they’re usually no longer involved. You could get everything right during filming, then they screw it up in the sound editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 One that annoys me is the guy with the pump shotgun, who winds up racking it multiple times before ever firing it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cars do not have THAT many gears. Sounds add to the overall impact of the scene. Yes, I suppose I know why they do it. The problem is, when you know better, it detracts rather than adds to the scene. If they want to use sound to bring intensity to the scene, maybe they should do it with well written music. (I haven't bothered with any Fast & Furious movies. Can you compare it to something in Smokey and the Bandit or Cannonball Run? ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmay Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Suppressed revolvers that barely make any noise. REALLY? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched one of the Hellraiser movies a few nights ago and someone prowled through a house looking for boogeymen using a 1911 with the hammer down.......... I just rewatched the first Ant-Man movie. There is one scene where the bad guy is obviously holding a glock (how many guns are THAT square looking?) and there are a bunch of ants blocking the hammer from dropping... https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/12/31/movie-magic-glock/ Edited July 18, 2018 by Cougar_ml 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching and thoroughly enjoying that movie in the theater until that scene happened and all my suspension of disbelief came crashing down in complete disappointment at such a bone-headed gimmick. Sorry, but I'm fine pretending someone can shrink the space between their molecules and become so small that they are able to ride on a mind-controlled ant; but, please don't ask me to believe that a Glock is a hammer fired pistol. That's just crazy!!! 3 hours ago, Bucky said: That’s retarded. Wouldn’t it have been easier to use an existing hammer fired gun. And then there's that. How much extra time did the digital artist have to spend designing a non-existent hammer, when another pistol would only need the ants CGIed into the shot? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willieH Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Come on gentlemen you gotta let this stuff go, it's entertainment and bending reality is part of telling the story. If you want factual accounts watch Michael Moore documentaries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy R Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I watched "They Live" the other night (own the DVD). 1988 movie. I will say Hollywood is less ridiculous today, in this movie an AR15 with a 20-ish round magazine could fire hundreds of rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterG7 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Watching the original Hawaii 5-0 and man what those dudes could do with a snubbie fired from the hip, kill a bad guy in a boat moving full speed.The never empty gun is bad but false perceptions about handgun accuracy is worse.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRR Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 My current peeve is on some of the current and recent TV shoot 'em ups where when a bad guy is shot, he drops like a marionette with its strings cut. Totally out of the fight and no longer a threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norton Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Being a big fan of Westerns-especially those made in the 50's, along with TV series, it drives me nuts when six shooters are capable of firing at least 12 rounds without reloading. Even in one of my favorite modern movies-Open Range with Robert Duvall and Kevin Costner-they fire +6 shots all the time, and of course the shotgun fired into the bad guys at close range flings the bad guys back at least 10 feet. Otherwise, its a great Western. And of course those ridiculous movies where our hero dives sideways in slo mo firing his automatic weapon, while managing to never get hit by the hundreds of bullets fired at him.

Most of them are just prostitutes who will do just about anything for a buck and some fame. Guns sell movie tickets, so it doesn't matter how they feel about them, as they all live in their own little make believe world and not reality anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyrtwuck Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 My favorites are when the actors point a Beretta 92 or one of the S&W models with the ambidextrous decockers at someone and it’s clearly in the non-firing position. Sometimes they shift the camera view to the person on the receiving end for a few seconds for their lines and when they come back it’s in the firing position.

Citra47 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I got hooked on Longmire put out by NETFLIX. Guy that plays Sheriff Longmire carries a 1911. Problem is, he sometimes carries it in Condition 2 so he can draw the gun and cock the hammer, but other times carries in Condition 1 which makes more sense to me. Bugs the heck out of me. Use one or the other but not both. The other thing that drives me crazy is people not trained to hold a weapon properly. The Walking Dead is one of the worst offenders.

I think Hollywood has always been ridiculously inept in it's depiction of firearms and reality. But in the past, Hollywood generally reflected the values and attitudes of America so it's imperfections were largely ignored and accepted. Now that Hollywood has evolved into a propaganda tool for the leftists to undermine America and our values, I cut them much less slack in regards to their ignorance and falsehoods.
