Making a movie is different. Prop masters, safety checks, blanks, insurance, all that. Can't make a movie gunfight without pulling the trigger. None of that happened in this picture.
He cocked the hammer and put his finger on the trigger. If this wasn't some movie star, who for some reason is given ultra manhood status, doing it, most here would comment on his poor handling.
Only thing I like about McQueen is the car chase scene in Bullit. Of course, a professional driver drove that car, not McQueen. Still, one of the best I have ever seen.
