Original RED DAWN movie
- Thread starter Sevens
- Start date
Now that I think of it, there was a film - the name of which now escapes me - in which Mossad agents avenge the atrocity of the Munich Olympics. In one scene they are shown pulling the bullets on their pistol ammo to dump out some of the powder, giving them a reduced and less noisy/attention-drawing, but still functional, charge. Not handloading in the true sense, but it seems at least to conform to the spirit of loading non-factory ammunition.
I watch the tv show "the walking dead". On the show one of the members decides he can reload the spent casings at some kind of factory. I am waiting for the season premiere to see how they go about it, but It is a tv show so I do not expect much detail but it will still be interesting.
I remember many of the examples you guys have cited......the most entertaining one was Tremors, but the most recent one I saw was at the very beginning of the movie depicting a bad guy loading sniper ammo on a Forster Coax single stage. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the movie! Any of you younger guys (or older with superior memories) remember the movie?
In the making of a movie or TV show there is in front of the camera and there is behind the camera. Behind the camera, somewhere, there is a studio can filled with period correct items and then there should be technical directors.
It was pointed out to me a Roman in a movie warring a non period correct Timex watch. And I wondered if actors were making an attempt at seeing what they could get away with.

while I have not personally gone through it frame by frame to verify, there is a long standing report on how one of the scenes in the original 10 Commandments shows one of the extras wearing a wristwatch.
Clearly not something commonly sported by people pointing at the parting of the Red Sea. And very likely NOT a case of an actor (extra) "seeing what they could get away with", but more likely just a simple error, the extra not knowing, or not being told not to wear the watch.
The other failure is that of the editors, who did not catch the mistake, and remove it from the final copy.
Happens a lot more than you think in movies and TV. Period "wrong" items, reversed images, continuity issues (check all car crashes carefully, see if later scenes have the same car (unrepaired) showing no damage), lots of things can, and do go wrong on movie sets, and while there are people who's job is to see that we (the audience) don't see them, they are fallible, and sometimes, it seems, barely competent.
