Most movies are, to me, just entertainment but once in a while, I notice the things that aren't right. Guns, especially. All of the above, of course. One of the worst ones was in a movie where they were shooting a full-auto, large caliber military weapon but NO brass was falling to the ground around their feet.
Oops.
In another, they showed the brass falling to the ground in slow motion but it was obviously brass blanks that still had the crimps on the mouths of the casings.
Probably one of the worst was recently, I was watching a T.V. show where there were eight or eight hundred bad guys shooting at two cops. The two cops were running down a fairly narrow hallway in order to jump out the window at the other end. The bad guys were laying down a ton of fire and
1. Not shooting each other in the backs of the heads
2. Not hitting the two cops
Made me laugh.
Even the most serious movie will elicit a chuckle when they make these kinds of mistakes. I'm sure I don't even catch all the errors, either.
--Wag--
