There is a dark comedy from about 8 years ago called Tucker and Dale Vs Evil. It's actually a pretty good flick that turns the "Murderous Hillbilly in the Woods" horror genre on its head. Basically, it's about a bunch of dumb paranoid college kids going on a camping trip and getting freaked out by a couple of completely harmless if a bit rough looking locals and comically offing themselves accidentally as they overreact to their run ins with Tucker and Dale who mean them absolutely no harm.
At one point, one of the kids gets his hands on a double action service revolver. He tries to squeeze off a shot but the gun won't fire. One of the locals he's pointing it at helpfully points out that the safety is on. The kid turns the gun around, barrel toward his face, flips some sort of safety and gun goes off automatically blowing his head off. The whole idea of a safety on a service revolver and then a double action gun with the hammer down just going off is goofy. Made for a comedic moment, but rubs you the wrong way as a gun person.
Great film.
One of the Die Hard installments. #3 I think. Towards the end of the movie Detective McClane (Willis), in order to stop some type of pending apocalypse, has to shoot a wire that's about fifty yards away. With a snubbie , at night, in the rain.
Dont forget it was to shoot down a helicopter! Not as impressive as jumping a police cruiser into a helicopter, but something impressive.
