Has anyone seen this film? My question concerns the Fish & Wildlife Hunter in the film. At one point he is reloading ammunition. during the reloading he pours a green liquid into the rifle cartridges before completing the reloading.

My question is what is the green liquid? That question has bugged me for quite awhile. Would appreciate anyone who can supply this information. Thanks.

Probably they don't want to 'educate' people on the reloading process so they put in a 'mystery' component to throw people off.

BUT: I'll remain open minded and hope somebody comes along with an explanation so I won't have to spend four bucks to check it out.

It's Oobleck. Dr Seuss killed Horton with ammo loaded with it.

Pretty good movie.
When it’s on one of your Streaming Services,
Recommend you watch it!

I don't recall that. If you go to 2:19 in this clip it shows the scene but it may not be complete.

I just watched that clip several times. It looks to me like he used an electronic scale to dispense powder into a pan, and then poured the powder into the shell.

Not sure if I've got my terminology exact. I reload, but use a beam scale and don't have any kind of trickle dispenser. I assumed the electronic beep you hear during the process was a signal the powder being dispensed had hit a preset weight. But again, guessing because I've never had that stuff.

I didn’t see any liquid.

Great movie, I’ve seen it twice. Didn’t see any green liquid, though. It looked to me like he was pouring powder from the scale pan into the cartridge case.

I didn't see any green liquid either, but I did notice that he inside reamed the case neck wayyyyy too much. It's like he was making a cutter die or something, he reamed the inside neck so much.

Great movie that highlights the very real issue of NA women as victims of violence on reservations.

If that movie had been a few years earlier, Marlin would still be independent! It is a giant commercial for the 1895 Guide Gun!

I enjoyed the movie and I don't recall seeing any green liquid either. On the other hand, Hollywood certainly took some liberties with the movie in General.

I used to live (and still have family there) near Lander in Riverton and I'm quite familiar with the area. The Wind River Reservation is a sad example of socialism in action. Both tribes (the Shoshoni and the Arapaho) now have casinos on the res as well as lots of oil income, but poverty still reigns and alcoholism and drug abuse abound.

I enjoyed that movie. It was almost like a spinoff of Longmire.


I missed the green liquid.

There is no green liquid, he is just reloading.

Repeat after me..."It is a movie.. it is not real... it is a movie... it is not real..."

It must have some type of "Green stuff" loaded inside that case .

When that round hit the guy inside the trailer, that little round, turned into ....

the "Green Hulk Bullet" !!

Did you see the way it tossed that guy back across to the far wall and slam dunk him ? !!

It had to be at least a 700 gr bullet............. !

I think I'll spend the four bucks on that. Curious as to what that shootout is all about.

I've been playing with 45-70 for almost 40 years, I only wish I could get Hollywood performance from my rifles. With the "Marlin" load shooting a guy with a ballistic vest on, and the bullet stops against the rear plate the almost 4000 pounds of energy might throw a 170 pound man a little bit, But I would expect a 2200fps 400 gr hard cast or heavy jacketed to pass through both sides of a 44mag rated vest! Nobody has volunteered for me to test this theory...yet! (at that distance: 50 yards) 500 grain lead bullets at 1250fps pass all the way through a buffalo.

Movie called Open Range with Robert Duvall. He shoots a bad guy through a plank wall with a sawed off SxS. I throws guy off his feet and against a wall. Must of been hi brass.

It's pretty entertaining.

But it is an entertaining movie, and they save the dog!

I didn’t see a green liquid. Saw a green powder funnel, electronic powder dispenser and a lot of red (Hornady?) loading equipment. Good movie, really good.

Green powder funnel is the item!

Thanks for putting this up. Great job. I really enjoyed this film. I actually watched it 6 times. Great action and beautiful environment. That's what happens when you get up up in the Pandemic. I must have been mistaken although it did appear to be a liquid that was poured into the case. But it was so fast. I figured he might have used a special ingredient for the cold environment.

JUST now finished the film, on NetFlix. Came here to recommend it, but figured I ought to search for it first.

Righteous gunplay in that one...

Yes! It is indeed on Netflix.
I may watch it again!

The Army and its erstwhile successors have clumsily "managed" Native Americans for decades. Yesterday's Wall Street Journal delves into a new travesty. It seems tribe members are having trouble getting home mortgages from S&L's and banks. A tribal member can own the house he builds, but not the land it sits on. The land is held in tribal trust. Banks have no recourse against the trust for a defaulted loan, eliminating collateral that makes lenders comfortable. There are legal workarounds, but so far the bureaucracy is taking years to grant its officious seal of approval to allow a tribal member to "own" his land and build a house. In the mean time, inflation prices the prospective home builder out. Results speak for themselves. High rates of poverty, alcoholism, drug addiction, family violence, but great casinos and tobacco stores. This is the best we can do..............sigh.

The Senecas in southern NY solved that problem. They founded their own bank.

Every time I see criticism of a film because someone is blown off their feet by a firearm, I think of the Secret Service agent that was shot in the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan. The agent was hit in the midsection and was “knocked” off his feet and flew backwards. That was from a .22 revolver.

My uncle used to think a .38 Special was extremely powerful because he witnessed a shooting with one. The victim standing by a car was “knocked clear over the hood” landing on the other side.

Dead weight hit with a bullet and it won’t move much. Add a CNS and the results can be pretty unpredictable.

And..... I think Wind River is a terrific movie.

Dan

If I'm not mistaken, the federal government holds title to the land "in trust" for the tribe. If individual ownership was granted to tribal members, the reservation might not be around for future generations.
The whole reservation system was a failure from the beginning; but, I guess better for the NA than the alternative at the time.
I don't think they have reservations in central and south america. Those NA's who survived either went deeper into the jungle or adapted.
With the tax free income the casino's bring in, there shouldn't be any poverty on those reservations.
But, alas, we digress....

Nothing special. Kevin Costner has a revolver that never runs out of ammunition.

Thingz wuz difrunt in the Olde West donchano!

Wind River is a great movie, one I have watched more that once. I do not do that many times. I did not notice any green liquid or anything out of the standard operations when they did the reloading shooting. One of the better movies by Hollywood in the past several years, probably because it was directed and I think produced by a native american. Great story on the status of our native americans today.

According to wikapedia:
Written and directed by Taylor Sheridan-born in Texas, no mention of NA heritage.
Produced by the Weinstein Company-that's Harvey Weinstein

As a reloader, I vaguely remember the scene where Jeremy Renner reloads his ammo.

I vividly remember the scene where Elizabeth Olsen was in her underwear.

I watched it, but I don't remember Jeremy Renner being in it...

Sorry, but the two NA ladies, or their characters, make the blonde Olsen sister look like a mere 5, or 6.

Taylor Sheridan also wrote "Hell or High Water", and writes/directs "Yellowstone".

There are also quite a few actors that appeared in both "Wind River" and "Yellowstone".

Hell or High Water - also one of my favorite recent movies.
I like it a lot.
Like when a Bank Robber takes Buck Taylor’s handgun during a Bank Robbery.

If you noticed, Kevin Costner fired13 rounds from his Colt without reloading in the same fight.

It’s Gollywood.

Terrific movie, thanks for posting. I think what you’re seeing s the powder being poured from the pan into the case. I didn’t see any green liquid, though.

Isn't that a condemnation of capitalism, not socialism?
