I didn't grow up learning about guns. So now that I am, I view movies in a different way now. Esp movies that I haven't seen in a while.  How about you guys?

Example:

Watching Robocop 1

The "holes" that's being left in the target when Robocop 1st shoots at the range are huge.  Even a 3 wound burst wouldn't do that.

When Murphy enters the warehouse, his "room clearing" is laughable.  I mean, entering a huge warehouse type facility when it's 6 vs 2 is laughable too.

During the car chase in the begining, all those shotgun shots and neither Murphy or Lewis were hit.

During same chase, guy gets thrown onto their windshield and he either dies or is knocked out.

Guys I know in the military say the same.  But they also commend when things are done correctly and it's not a military film.

Example:

In sucker punch, when the 3 women are doing team things, a tap to the leg is noticed to show that the shooter is ready.  And this isn't a "military" type film where a small detail like that is needed.



But in the end "mom and pop in Oklahoma" wanna see things and be entertained.  This phrase is a saying that it doesn't have to be accurate, as long as it makes for good film as mom n pop don't know the difference. 

And the fact that "it's just a movie" so things don't gotta make sense.  But still, hard to not notice.

If you want to be entertained, you normally have to be naive or be able to suspend disbelief.

It's hilarious when someone watches a movie that's nonstop far-out fantasy and then complains about some mundane scene as "not believable!"  I saw someone watching Groundhog Day for the first time, and her big hangup was that each day was being altered by Phil's (Bill Murray's) actions, but he continued to run into the same people in the same sequence even though he would have been arriving at that time earlier or later each time.  Out of the whole situation, THAT'S what she couldn't believe??

Almost like the grandfather paradox.

It's funny because I was thinking about this film.  I mean, is daily life really that different from a repeating event?  We wake up, have the same morning routine, go to work, do stuff after that's usually the same, come home, go to sleep.  It's mind over matter. I mean, it's not like he was in an isolated area by himself.  He had an entire town at his disposal.  So no need worry about money, health, dying, etc...

I forgot to mention when the ED209 lit the executive up, no windows behind him were broken. that's some good non-penetrating rounds. lol.

yes

My favorite movie clips featuring guns are when the bad guy screws a can on … a revolver! - the deadly assassin’s silent weapon.

I've always approached movies by first asking myself:  "Ok, what am I watching?"

Science Fiction?

Historical Drama?

Fiction?

Etc., etc.

Once I know what I'm getting into, I go in with that frame of mind.

For example, if I'm watching a Godzilla movie, I just go in and have fun and laugh at the BS.  I don't look for inaccuracies.

But if I'm watching stuff like Black Hawk Down, Warfare, or Platoon, I do look for military accuracy.  Not so much on Rambo, Commando, and Van Damme BS movies.

yes

Guns of the future look totally gay.

When you go to buy an akm and they ask how many mags you want

“Just one is plenty”

I've enjoyed learning how they create sci fi guns from real ones.  Like the M41A Pulse rifle, Starship Troopers 1 as in the 2nd one, they used flash lights instead of blanks.  Super lame.
