My favorite is when the (insert name here) machine gun the bad guy is firing goes dry--you can tell by the "click-click-click-click-click-click" sound...LOL!
What movie was that from???

I think that happened in Predator, but the guy had a battery-pack minigun, so maybe that is possible?

Barrels gotta spin up, makes sense they have to spin down.

And of course, it was synthetic materials in the handle, doh!

The originals have a leather wrapped handle ( organic material) the newer model has a rubberized material wrapped handle ( synthetic material)

No, Harvey Keitel looks pretty freakin' old. Is the spinoff for the BBC version or the US version?

The spinoff was for the BBC version. you might want to go back and read through the whole thread

They never mentioned which version the spinoff was for--Gene Hunt in the U.S. is played by Harvey Keitel, in the U.K...apparently...by some buy named Philip Glennister.

I know the Full Auto Keep Firing thing has happened on 24 a couple of times but I know of one in particular where Jack is attempting to rescue James Nathanson in Hour 9 (Episode 9) about 20 minutes into the show of Day 5 (Season 5). Nathanson has a G36 and it runs dry but keeps going click click click, for a second or two. His Desert Eagle also locks back and then clicks a couple of times, and it's immediately followed with Jack Bauer making two 50 yard or so single shots kills from a USP Compact and also take down a helicopter with the same handgun. But then again, it is Jack Bauer, lol.

All I know is David Bowie is still making money off the show, and the songs. ("Life on Mars?", "Ashes to Ashes", "Space Oddity", "Moonage Daydream", "Starman", "Five Years" , etc)

His lyrics and song titles are shot through the show --as dialogue, titles, characters etc.-- and HE is even mentioned several times.

Notice the Cops never once procured an M1 Carbine from the 'stakeout squad? Cirillo must be pissed. I still found the show entertaining.

(And yeah the Mini 14/AK/Mini 14 thing again was like wow how did they screw THAT up in such a small transition scene?)
