in the "Gunmen" starring Mario Van Peeple, Patrick stewart, and Christopher Lambert. in the same scene a camera angle switches between Christopher whom is holding a gun to Mario's head. the gun changes from a revolver to an automatic and back again. what a neat trick; now thats versatility in a gun.
Mario Van Peeples starts out in the movie with an old 1902 colt wich was a .32 or .38acp...well anyway i cant remember. it was before the m1911 came out in .45acp. Mario kept referring to that old gun as a 9mm until he drops it into a river. not excactly funny, but a huge error in a movie called the "gunmen" i always hate those sci-fi looking reticles in almost every film with a sniper in it. old western gunfighters seem to throw thier bullets out of their six shooters. its bed time lib |

In The Matrix, when Keeaaaannuuu Reeves is running through the lobby trying to get up to save Morpheus, he's firing two of what look like Skorpions, doing the full-auto Woo. What look like 9mm casings are shown flying out in the close-ups of the weapons, but what look like 5.56mm casings are shown hitting the deck around his boots as he runs.
In just about every movie where a Glock is pointed at someone, the "hammer" is cocked back as the weapon is brought to bear. |

The De Palma movie "Snake Eyes", with Nic Cage.
The crux of the movie hinges around Cage seeing a boxer flinch at the sound of a gunshot during the boxing match while the boxer was supposed to be KO'd. This leads Cage to think the boxer knew something about the assassination, and that the boxer faked being KO'd (wouldn't have reacted to the gunshot if he was truly KO'd). There's lots of backpedaling in the movie to the point where you see the assassin take the shot, but then we see: THE GUN HAS A SILENCER, THEREBY NEGATING THE WHOLE INITIAL CLUE THAT CLUED THE HERO INTO THINKING THE BOXER HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ASSASSINATION!!! The first 20 minutes of the movie was really cool, the rest was mediocre garbage. |

Faux Pas #1 The racking of slides or bolts by characters portraying cops, soldiers or other professionals that should obviously have rounds already in the chamber.
Faux Pas #2 The repeated racking of slide by characters as a threat with no round ejecting from a gun that we've already seen racked at least once. Faux Pas #3 Seen it in a few movies, view of a character racking a shotgun from the ejection port side with no round going into the chamber. Dopes Dopes Dopes |

WOW!...That's what I called ACTION movie! Anything a Hollywood director can think of or dream of. Good guy always win and always get the girl. Bad guys? 100, 200 with full auto assault weapons? No problemo! Piece of cake!
That's big business and kids loved it....(Big Problem). |

In the movie "Spy Game", Brad Pitt sets up the worst sniper position I have ever seen. It is on top of a ridge, out in the open, with the leading 1' of the barrel uncamoflauged. No suppressor, no nothing. Attacking in broad daylight, with a HELICOPTER INTERPOSING ITSELF BETWEEN HIM AND THE TARGET!!!
I could go on, but I won't. Save your $$$ and go see Lord of the Rings instead. |

Saw an old sci-fi movie on late night TV a month or so ago. "Mission to Mars"? It must have been made in the late 40s or 50s. The compartments of the "spaceship" looked like an office building with metal desk & office chairs and one little round window high up.
The commander had a 1911A1 and the absolute worst gun handling skills ever. He'd pull it out to show the other people how ready he was for the martians, handle it with his finger on the trigger, cock the hammer & let it down, point it sideways at everybody. It was like an anti-trining film. One example after another of what not to do. Later, when he did shoot a martian or two, it only pissed them off & they "flew" back to Earth with their tails between their legs. Awful movie. |

Worst screw-up I've ever seen was on the movie "A Time to Kill". A couple of cops are transporting a/two rapist up the stairs in a courthouse. Samuel L. Jackson (the father of the 9 yr. old who got raped) runs in with an M16A1, triangular handguard, very nice gun for the dirt poor farmer he is. He starts blasting away at the bad guys and the camera angle moves to show the men getting shot up. Camera goes back to Jackson who is now holding an Ak-47. Camera angle changes again and shows the bad guys falling. Camera goes back to Sam and he's apparently picked the M16 back up. Biggest gun screwup I've ever seen.
I love it how in every movie the hammer comes back on guns like 20 or 30 times during a suspenseful situation. It's like the guy turns a corner, points the gun, pulls the hammer back, then must be letting it back down because the same thing happens in 30 seconds. |

Spearweasel,
I brought up the Spy Game deal too. Not to mention he was, what looked like about 100 yds away from the guy. He had a spotter for a shot I could make open sights? !?!? Ghillie suits on an open hill with NO ESCAPE ROUTE. Just curious as to how many vietcong Helicopters were actually used in Vietnam? |

My favorite parody of all this was in the movie Top Secret when Chocolate Mousse mows everyone in a room down with a hip fired machine gun swung back and forth. Only the bad guys drop and the good guys are just standing there dumbfounded. Classic.

How about in Rambo: First Blood II, when he fires a LAW rocket INSIDE the cockpit of a helicopter, with friendlies in the crew compartment BEHIND him...yet somehow the backblast didn't even curl their hair.
Similarly, in an old B&W SF movie called It: Terror from Beyond Space (it was the inspiration for the original Alien movie) the Mars mission had M1 Garands and a bazooka(!) along and FIRED THE FRIGGING BAZOOKA INSIDE THE DAMNED SPACESHIP! Must be some damned thick metal if you can shoot 30-06 and bazooka shells in it without piercing the hull... |

The dirt poor farmboy got the 16 from his Nam buddy who became a wealthy pimp. You were probably making a beer run to the fridge and missed it. like I was when the M16/AK47 switch took place. Now I have to go rent the damn thing! (The Blockbuster manager is cute though!) PS Put M16A1 into spell check and look at all the suggestions you get! |

A few come to mind:
-Pointing pistols at people while the slides are locked back -Repeadedly racking slides -Sound of hammer cocking on Glocks (Murder at 1600 is the only one I distinctly remmeber this in) -And my personal favorite: In Tomb Raider: Lara slaps two fresh mags from her nifty backpack thingy into her HK Match pistols, thumbs both slides forward (does HK make left-handed slide release levers???), then spins the guns around like some old West gunfighter (remember the hammer stays back when you thumb the slide forward, unless HK makes DOA Match pistols). Miraculous that she didn't shoot herself in the face. I almost leapt to my feet and yelled "BULLSH*T" in the crowded theater when I saw that, but my girlfriend was able to restrain me. -Too many others to name right now |

I watched an episode of Sliders where one of the bad guys was still 'shooting' with the slide locked back. And don't forget Die Hard II, where Bruce Willis told the airport police that the "terrorists have Glock 7's, which is made of porcelain".

Like DVDTracker points out, in the movies, if you point a gun at something, or sweep it back and forth, it MUST make a rattling noise. Also, apparently you get a click everytime you pull the trigger on a gun, regardless of whether it's a single-action or double-action, or whether or not the slide is forward or locked back.
I saw a Walker: Texas Ranger episode where the badguy's revolver became an auto when the scene angle changed. In Under Seige II, the external safety is deliberately (and noisily) clicked off on the Glock. Ditto: the Matrix and it's .32ACP Skorpions dropping .223 brass. Benelli M3 Super-90s are always pumped, even though they are primarily semi-autos (clearly, the pumping both adds drama and works better with blanks, but still...) If you want to see REAL gun handling, watch HEAT. SAS Sgt Andy McNab, an Iraqi POW during Desert Storm and author of Bravo Two Zero, was the technical consultant, and it shows. -Troy |

How about the scene from "True Lies", where Jamie Lee([:P])Curtis drops an UZI 9mm down a set of stairs while it is firing the whole time, and takes out all of the bad guys. No wonder the Anti's are so afraid of guns, the damn thing is firing by itself.(and accurately too!)

Raiders of the Lost Ark:
Indy's revolver turns into a 1911 and then back into a revolver during the shootout in the cantina. Actually, most movies I've seen lately have big problems with reality when it comes to firearms. Why is it that every two-bit hoodlum has to have a Desert Eagle? Damn, those things are hard to conceal! Why did Neo need so many different weapons on him in "The Matrix" during the fight scene in the lobby? It would have been much better to have stuck with the two MP-5Ks than to keep switching. The chick had plenty of pieces on her, but ended up taking weapons from the cops. Odd thing to do for someone supposedly so well trained. Oh, and how did Neo manage to not kill his buddy inside the building while firing the minigun from the helicopter? He wasn't exactly firing short, controlled bursts. |

Quoted: Raiders of the Lost Ark: Indy's revolver turns into a 1911 and then back into a revolver during the shootout in the cantina. Actually this was a case of faulty editing. He switches to a 1911 from his revolver at some point in the shootout, and when they went back and edited the scene, they put a scene from after he got the 1911 to an earlier point in the shootout. Still a gaffe, but more readily understandable. |

Just finished reviewing all the gun errors in The Matrix (I love the crisp freeze-frames on DVD).
-The accusation of hearing hammers cocking on Glocks in the beginning actually sounds more like the racking of slides (still edited in because every cop in the scene was carrying a flashlight in his support hand....hard to rack slide that way) -.223 brass coming out of the Skorpions -The slo-motion shots of the brass coming out of the Minigun are BLANKS...you can see the crimped tips. -Same with slo-mo of Desert Eagles firing in the last scene in the hotel...real good shot of crimped brass being ejected. I laughed my ass off on that one. |

Glock 7? I have one of those. It cost more then I make in a year, but it was worth it to carry on airplanes. Oh wait, I must be having those dreams again... |

The one I will always remember is in the Arnold film "Commando" when he's firing a belt-fed MG (I think an M-60), and the length of the remaining belt keeps magically getting replenished from scene to scene. It keeps getting shorter, then longer again, and so on.
Hilarious stuff. |

you wonder why keannau did not hit his buddy with the mini gun? Dont you remember ...he is The One.
You have to admit, that is one of the cooles scenes ever-especially on DVD and surround sound. The only thing cooler was in Predator when they all opened up in the jungle-I think I spewed after watching that the first dozen times. Only problem with that is when he sez he laid down a hundred rounds at it with the minigum-sorry buddy- you just shot about 1-2000 at it. |

OT, but that also goes with scenes with a cigarette where it keeps getting shorter and longer, shorter and longer... like in the Peta Wilson flick where she is dancing naked in front of the window with a smoke standing on end and it keeps changing... Hey, there is a firearm fubar there too, as the "sniper" across the street shoots her with a paintball through a closed window... My PMI3 never could do that.... WWoodworth |

I watched "Demolition Man" last night. In the final scene, Sly's 92fs runs out of ammo and the slide locks back. Then they do a closeup and show him inserting a fresh mag into the weapon with the slide [i]closed[/i]. He then racks the slide, and you can see a round come flying out. I couldn't tell if it was a blank, tho. Maybe if somebody has it on DVD they could check.
