Why was he doing that thing with his hand to cover the light? The only reason I could think was to keep his night vision good.... But I figured it was just some made up movie mess. But if it happens to be some real, dark room clearing technique....I'm sure someone here would know. |

Dont know but it looked goofy, I would like to hear from someone with much more experience than I on the subject. The other Surefire pistol grip "M500 I think" has the smaller lights for general light and the big one for the light you up choice. Dont remember if he used that one or a tactical variant mounted on the side rail with the obligatory pressure swith.  |

Quoted: Quoted: I say it was to keep the night seekers from seeing his light and knowing he was there. Yep. Ah okay. I mean....I thought the whispering would give it away. And I mean.....I didn't see the difference that made. Figured if anyone was going to see his light, he had it on still, and had it exposed at times. Weird movie stuff. |

LaRue556:
That hand over the light technique in ‘I am Legend’ is typical Hollywood hokum. Just like cars that cartwheel through the air, gas tanks that blow up after one shot from a .38 special snub nose from 100 yards away, beautiful women who swoon over bozos, guys like Jack Bower who never run out of juice, luck or ammo and… my personal favorite, 15 shot revolvers that never need reloading, it’s ‘poetic license’ used by writers, directors, actors and producers who don’t know diddly about anything but making movies. One question comes to mind; If Will Smith’s character thought he’d be in a fight with the zombies, why didn’t he keep both hands on his rifle and use the on-off switch? Will b ornery |
