Movie error Blue Steel

Come on guys, cut 'em some slack. Would you really trust these Hollywood types with loaded ammo? I'm thinking not, there'd be dead and wounded people all over the set.

So I am watching the movie Blue Steel staring Jamie Lee Curtis.

The bad guy is reloading his revolver. This is what you see as he drops new cartridges in the cylinder. Then he fires the gun.

Those are the extra special Hollywood 38 spl HE rounds that only take one hit to a fleeing vehicle to make it explode, bounce 15 feet in the air, and burst into flames as it flips on it's top. I've loaded mine with so much powder I had to tamp it with a sledge hammer and I can't get results even close what the Hollywierd boys get out of a snubnose 38 at 250 yards....:D

I watched True Grit's Jeff Bridges carefully aim his Win on his right shoulder, with a patch on his right eye, and kill the bad guy at a considerable distance. Guess he's cross eye dominant.

meh... The Duke could nail the bad guy at 100 yards from a galloping horse... with a handgun!;)

I think that with a few exceptions most of 'em are anti gun leftists anyway...

Hey, it's probably the only movie where they ever reloaded a gun, give them a break.

If you look at the gunfight scene between Clarice Starling and Buffalo Bill in "Silence of the Lambs", she does a speedloader reload on her M13 that looks about as realistic as can be.

How many times did thet bad guy shoot his M29 at Nick Nolte in "48HRS?" Eight or nine without reloading, as I recall. Ahhhh, Hollywood: so perfect in some technicalities, so massivley ignorant in others. We as the viewers don't often miss the glaring mistakes, tho', do we?

That was one of the most realistic gunfights ever to appear in a movie! Starling was as rattled as I'd probably be.

Last Standing Knight-

Sure about a flat-latch M-60 in the original "Hawaii Five-O"? Never seen one, even in the first ads for the gun. Probably a nickled M-36?

In the movie, "Last Man Standing", there are so many little hiccups its hard to put them all down. Plus, you get the perfunctary bad guy flying 5 or 6 feet backwards after being shot. My favorite is when you hear the slide "close" on those 1911's but there are already closed!!!
 
Actually, come to think of it, the whole movie Blue Steel is one big error. Jamie Lee Curtis was the only good thing about it. The rest, well, bad.
