In the girl with the dragon tattoo scene she uses the decocker on that sig,

And in a recent movie called the reunion, during the kidnap scene the main bad guy walks around with the slide all of a sudden locked back on his sig, after not firing a single shot, then magically it's loaded again
 
Has anyone noticed how Cote de Pablo (Ziva) on NCIS holds her SIG? For a highly trained federal agent and former assassin for Mossad, she has the worst gripping technique imaginable. 'Course, most of the time I'm not watching her hands.
 
How about Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis? Finest display of the power of the 1911's as they hurl men 20 feet backwards through closed doors :D
 
How about on the Rifle Man When Chuck Conner's uses a Winchester model 1892 and the show takes place 1882.
 
Dances with wolves, it's the scene where he empties his revolver in the river fight, and throws it away...

Not just Dances with Wolves - I've seen that in several movies. They act as if once the gun empties you have 10 seconds before it explodes in your hands. They're always tossing the empty gun as far as possible.

Hmmm... I don't think I ever even noticed that she has hands, much less what she's holding in them... [dirty-old-man-grin]
 
Yeah, I remember an episode of Cannon where he cocked his 38 snubby, fired it single action, instantly killing the assailant through the windshield of a moving car at what looked like 50 yards.

McGarret from the old Hawaii 50 was good with a snubby too, pointing it in the general direction of and instantly dropping the opponent with a single shot, at considerable distance.
 
How about John Wayne and others shooting Colt SAA's and Winchester 1892's when the time was supposed to be either just before or just after the Civil War!!!

Not a blooper post -- but who, out there, is old enough to remember that William Conrad (the actor who played Cannon) was also the voice of Matt Dillon in the radio series of "Gunsmoke"? good3.gif

How many times has someone gotten the drop on someone else with the uncocked SAA. And after all those shoot-em-ups he's done, Bruce Willis still flinches. In fact, in the movie "Red", the only one not flinching is Helen Mirren...
 
Raiders of the Lost Ark, in the shoot out in Marion's bar Indy's gun switches between a revolver and a 1911. The character doesn't change them, they change between takes. It's a sloppy movie-making error-bad craftmanship.
 
I think it was The Mechanic with Jason Statham that had a slo-mo close-up of somebody shooting a big 'ol rifle (probably BMG) and the spent catridges were crimped at the end like blanks.
 
In the massacre scene in "Ghandi" you can see the crimped blank empties piling up at the feet of the soldiers....kinda undid the drama of the scene for me.
 
TV show here 'Spooks', which I believe is aired under the title 'MI5' in the states had a scene where you could see a gun and rounds on a table, but the rounds blatantly blanks, no attempt made to disguise them.
 
William Conrad, Broderick Crawford and Jack Lord were all rank amateurs compared to the snubby expertise of Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. in "The FBI".
 
You have to be very fast, be watching on a big screen and really know guns, but in the saloon shootout in "Shane", Alan Ladd's SAA suddenly became a Colt New Service. Ladd's small hands couldn't work a Single Action fast enough.

in the movie Fast Five where the minigun being fired sounds like "normal" machine gun fire and not the actual "brrrrrpp" . There's been other minigun scenes in other movies that do the same thing, very annoying.
 
It ain't just firearms. If you're old enough to remember the TV show "Then Came Bronson," you'll probably also recall how his Sportster turned into a Sprint 350 whenever its tires touched dirt.

:neener: Or on Mannix or Cannon when a brand new Cadillac ran off a cliff, it suddenly turned into a '53 Studebaker.

Always loved the opening of The Rifleman, where Chuckie fires off at least 13 rounds in quick succession, recocks with one hand and while toughly looking into the camera, reloads one round.:D
 
There is a scene in "Faster" with Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson where after he shoots 6 shots from his Ruger Redhawk Alaskan 454 Casull, he ejects the brass, but if you look closely he is ejecting 6 "loaded" cartridges with the bullets clearly visible.
 
Man, they get it wrong so often I can't even recall one example right now because they are all messed up to some degree or another...

Oh, I got one. Although ridiculous, when Tuco walks into the gunshop in Good, Bad, Ugly, he takes apart all those old revolvers and assembles a finer pistol than they sold --using parts from different manufacturers! Correct me if I'm wrong, but most of those pistols had to be fitted by hand and seldom did one part work on another without fitting using parts from the same make and model, and parts from another maker? Come on. But it looked real cool. One of my favorite movies, and that scene, though ridiculous, was awesome.

But if you remember the scene in Dances With Wolves, the fight wasn't over yet and Costner wasn't wearing a holster, there was nowhere to put the gun when he was done firing, and he needed both hands. What was he gonna do? Grip it in his teeth pirate knife style? :D
