They pulled the trigger, then they should knowOr when CSI does a ballistic test on a recovered bullet and they say it came from a revolver.
It might as well be stop action used in claymationAn older movie on Paramount lately has been Tombstone, I’ve watched it multiple times over the years and it’s amazing how many times they shoot a six shoot revolver.
Great article Mike!!!
I remember one scene where an actor has a six shooter in each hand and he shoots both guns over 12 times obviously without reloading.It might as well be stop action used in claymation!
I could never figure that one out either.One of my favorite Flub Ups, is to watch the hero/heroine pick up the weapon of a now dead assailant, check the magazine, and then head off in search of the next bad guy. They couldn't bother to take 10 seconds to search for spare mags? Especially considering that just glancing at most magazines gives you No visual clue as to how many rounds remain in it (usually it's AK mags that you see this FU occur). " London Has Fallen" is a good example. Butler saves the president, offing 3 baddies. Retrieves only 1 weapon and zero mags. A prudent person would take the opportunity to arm themselves and the president to the teeth.
If you’re talking Kurt Russel / Val Kilmer Tombstone, well it’s something of a cult classic now !An older movie on Paramount lately has been Tombstone, I’ve watched it multiple times over the years and it’s amazing how many times they shoot a six shoot revolver.

Keanu Reeves is a real life pistol competitor so he probably insists on some accuracy on the set. Tom Selleck is also a collector and shooter and it shows, he likes his 1911's.My wife just rolls her eyes now when I yell at the screen, "The mags! Search the bodies for mags!!"
At least the John Wick franchise appears to be a little more on the ball with it's handling of firearms.
From what I have seen he is trained extensively by Taryn Tactical for the movies. I watched a video of him a Halle Barry training with TT for a john wick movie, they actually were doing very well.Keanu Reeves is a real life pistol competitor so he probably insists on some accuracy on the set.
