IMFDB SPEC OPS THE LINE MOVIE

Ever.įilmmakers do seem to be trying a bit more than they used to, but things are still ‘iffy.’ During the ’40s and ’50s, it wasn’t unusual to see everybody with a cartridge revolver decades before they came into use, and everyone with an 1892 Winchester in the 1870s and 1880s, and every Indian with a brand-new 1873 or 1892 and unlimited ammunition, or the hero (‘High Noon’ and ‘Firecreek’ come to mind) switching from a Colt SA to a large-frame Colt DA revolver in mid-scene and back again. So, what’s the verdict? Can you keep your mouth shut when you see something like this in a flick, or do you get sucked into the trap like I do and blurt out the myriad little errors and mistakes that almost always seem to make a cameo?ĮDIT: somehow I forgot to include this! Best. I do recall attempting to make my wife care that a flash hider was installed upside down while watching Skyfall in the theater:

IMFDB SPEC OPS THE LINE MOVIE

I saw another movie in the past couple of months that also featured crimped blanks ejecting in slow-mo, but don’t remember what it was. These screen grabs from IMFDB (the ones above are also from there) don’t even do justice to how in-your-face the crimped ends were. The cinematography and such was awesome, and you get to see the pistol cycling, frame-by-frame, from a few different angles.īut it was ejecting blanks! Like really, really obvious blanks with giant crimped noses.

The scene takes place at night, in the rain, and it was shot in super slow-mo. I hope whoever came up with this ingenious idea was cracking up the whole time.īefore that ridiculous shotty made its cinematic debut, Brad Pitt pulled out a Hi-Power in the completion of his first hit. The shells are actually sticking out the end! Love it. There’s like negative 1/2″ of barrel on this SxS lulz-maker. And the award for shortest sawed-off shotgun of all time goes to… Killing Them Softly!
