I've got the Sci Fi channel playing, cheesey movie "The Phantom" based on the old comic book character. Premise seems to be son of phantom takes over dads mantle.
Scene is in an indoor range:
The "only shoot to wound" was bad.
Pointing the 1911 at the target, pull trigger = "click" because the safety was on was bad.
"click, click, click" after slide lock because you are out of ammo was bad.
The lady in the background standing near a table of ear muffs but sticking her fingers in her ears instead was bad.
But,
what was really bad was when Jr. tries to shoot on the indoor range from a proper 2 handed stance with eyes and ears and cant hit anything... Until, he TAKES OFF eyes and ears and uses a "cool" one handed stance!
Then of course he's hitting hands, knees and elbows with ease!
I don't mind suspending disbelief for a comic book show but the message of "cant hit the target? Just take off those pesky safety devices and shoot cool!" is horrible.
