Taxi Driver Easy Andy not so great a salesman

[Engine49guy]

So Im in NY back in the day shopping for a piece and meet Easy Andy ,
In hindsight he aint so smart as he misidentifies several of the items for sale, Luckily caught it on hidden camera below.

...Just for fun see how many errors Andy makes that you can catch.

Colt .25 is really a S&W M61
Walther .380 is really a Spanish .32

Anyone else notice Deniro closing his right eye?

 

[g8rb8]

30 seconds - Statement that at 100 yards a .44 magnum can go through an engine block. False. Easy Andy is overselling the product.

1 min. 30 seconds - Statement that the .44 magnum revolver is used in Africa to hunt elephants. Once again, Easy Andy is overselling the product.

2 min. 10 seconds - That ain't no .25 Colt and the statement about "holds 6 in the CLIP and one in the chamber if you're dumb enough to put one in the chamber." It's magazine, not clip and what respectin' criminal ain't gonna keep a round in the chamber? It's a S&W Escort Model 61.

2 min. 18 seconds - uses "clip" instead of magazine ..... again! It's an Astra Constable and not a Walther.

At end of clip he is holding the Astra Constable in his right hand and using his left eye to aim. Not unheard of but not typical.

Moral of the story: Beware buying from Easy Andy.

You guys are good .....but there is one more, 1:25
The nickel snub nose (he says) is "Otherwise the same as a Service Revolver"... While some Model 12's did have flat latches if you pause it at 1:13 you can see the cylinder stop notches line up with the cylinder flutes ,
Verdict = SB J frame Chiefs Special that he only gets off 4 rounds with in the big shootout scene before being shot out of his hand,

Interesting array Andy has spread out on the bed, luger, P-38, Colt 1911, looks like a 27 as well, cant make out the rest.

The Colt 1911 is actually a Star

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that Easy Andy didn't know his arse from a hole in the ground.

There are also several continuity errors.

At one point, the Astra (Referred to as a Walther PPK) actually is a PPK.

The S&W Model 36 Snub becomes a Colt Police Special in one shot.

The S&W Escort also becomes another small pistol.

Don't agree with his politics but DeNiro is one of the best at his craft.

Casino, Deer Hunter, Raging Bull, The Godfather, Bronx Tale, Heat, Midnight Run, Cape Fear, Goodfellas, and on and on.
