Annoying & Wrong Gun Things You See In Movies

How about the exploding tipped arrows Rambo uses after he pulls his compound bow out of his arrow quiver and puts it together by hand. Not to mention he straps a blue glow stick to one of his arrows and still shoots it accuratly across the cave.

The stupid things in movies get me annoyed enought to turn the thing off. I hardly watch them at all any more but I can turn those off. Some thing about the ignorance Hollywood displays that annoys me even more is people who sit back belly acheing about this is impossible or that was stupid, then in the next instance they want a 50 round magazine for their 10/22, pistol grip sawed off semi auto shotgun, or they never carried a hand gun but they post up a dozen comments of advice on what and how to carry...

Movies are dumb and people all know better but then the most stupid gun movie of all time "Boondock Saints"..., guys will know everything, been to every "training" they can throw money at and then they have to get their girlfriends all together and run a poll to decide the most fashionable way to spend their next ten dollars because they don't know which 22 rimfire is in style this month.

One of the most annoying for me is a silencer on a revolver. The other is moving the machine gun back a forth like he is watering his garden. Finally, the six shooter that never runs out of bullets. How about the A-Team that never reloaded there Mini-14s.

The endless magazine beats throwing the gun at Superman when the shooter runs out of bullets. Ever notice how Superman would stand heroically and take the shots, but he would always duck when the gun was thrown?

Band of Brothers, episode of Carentan you can clearly see PVTs Albert Blithe's character loading a clip of blanks into his M1 Garand.

One thing that annoys the heck out of me in movies is Full auto guns that keep dry firing when out of ammo.

Oh, if we're going that route, don't even get me started about movies depicting bad computer science.

Hackers

You mean numbers and mathematical formulas don't fly at you on the screen when you telnet into a government computer??

Only when you hack* the Gibson.



*should have been "crack", not "hack". Just another thing wrong with the movie. *sigh*

I was watching an old cowboy movie the other day called "The Kid from Texas". It was a movie about Billy the Kid staring Audie Murphy made in 1950. In on scene he and a com padre ran into a general store to stock up on ammo. He asked for 1000 rounds of 30-30 Winchesters. I think there is a problem with this since Billy the Kid died circa 1881. Now since the 30-30 Winchester was first marketed in early 1895 that would be some kind of miracle.

the most stupid gun movie of all time "Boondock Saints"...

I disagree here. I think Boondock Saints was awesome. I can appreciate and ignore stupid gun mistakes/fallacies in a movie when the director isn't even attempting to simulate reality in their film. I believe they were going for shoot-em-up fantasy there, as opposed to, say, No Country for Old Men which went for the whole gritty and true-life feel (and failed with respect to the gunplay in the film IMO).

The most annoying thing to me in movies is the utter failure to accurately portray the sounds suppressed firearms make when shot.
It's: bang! (as opposed to BANG!)
Not: Pew-Pew (like some kind of sci-fi laser gun)

I believe this has had something to do with the social stigma of suppressors we all have to deal with.

I also get annoyed by stupid anti-gun lines or plots in movies.
Like: I Am Legend where the Dr. Neville's kid says "mommy those men have guns!" and mommy replies "It's ok, they're in the army like daddy"
<BARF>
Or the movie Runaway Jury that was modified to be about the "OMG evil gun companiez", not actually evil tobacco companies like in the original John Grisham novel.
