I don't think anyone making movies understands how guns work. I've seen people in movies chamber rounds 5 times as if to intimidate. If you did that in real life, you'd just be wasting ammo by expelling 4 rounds out of the side of the chamber.
It also bugs me when people are shooting an obvious 8 or 10 round pistol and fire off 30 rounds without ever having to reload.
John Wick, of course, deserves a mention. Despite being a superhuman badass, with really nice guns, he still deals with malfunctions.
Ever seen The Way of the Gun? Crazy movie, but the gun play is spot on. If you blink you'll miss it, but in one scene Benicio Del Toro casually clears a stove piped 12-gauge.
(And after all these years, I just realized the title basically means, "live by the sword, die by the sword".)
That's a great movie. I never see it mentioned anywhere
Ex-wife and I used to randomly download whatever off TPB. 2-minutes in, we were like, "WTF is this?!" LOL, just that opening scene is enough to suck you in.
"Shut that cunts mouth or I'll come over there and fuck start her head!"
The random downloads were also how we saw Taken before it hit theatres. Thought we were tripping when we saw ads for it 3-weeks later.
