Yet another Movie gun flub!

[John G]

In The Blue Max, First World War German infantrymen are shown carrying Lee-Enfield #4 rifles. Not only is the #4 a British, not German, rifle, it didn't exist for another 20+ years.

Speaking of the Blue Max, the director wanted the shooting to look as realistic as possible so they used live ammo wherever they could safely.

Only thing was, the camera only caught the occasional muzzle flash....as it will in the real world. Ended up looking less 'real' than the usual long duration flash blanks used by everyone else.

But, how could we talk about the Blue Max without mentioning Ursula Undress???!!
