How wrong can hollywood get it?

You mean "Once upon a time in the West"?

Sort of an attempt to make Charles Bronson the new, 'Man with no name' character with more American actors.

I don't think It quite worked out as well as Sergio Leone figured it would.

Henry Fonda was so incredibly bad in the Movie.

He didn't have a lot of experience playing a 'bad guy'.

Correct. It was his only role where he was cast against type.

Started watching 'Bonanza' from episode one last night and clearly saw in several situations guys carrying/shooting 26" Mod 94 Sporting RIfles with the forestocks removed to create the illusion of them being Henrys!

I'm kinda' glad I don't have such great 'Gun Smarts" as some you guys around here. What little I do have already affects some of the great movies I've loved for a lot of years.

I have learned to live with the usual endless magazines, revolvers that shoot way more than six shots, explosions spiked with gasoline to create huge fireballs, but tonight was special. I've been binge watching "Night Shift" on netflix, partway through season 3 there is a swat team shoot out with bad guys! The bad guys are shooting out of the windows of an OFFICE TRAILER, AND THEN DUCKING DOWN FOR "COVER"! Apparently office trailers in texas are bullet proof and incapable of being hit by a swat team thirty feet away (no holes). I'm getting plate carriers loaded with quarter inch paneling and flattened beer cans and selling them in the ' hood.

There is a shoot out in a medical drama, hmmm, I think I better watch this. Thanks.

I can forgive the lack of firearm credibility, but not a location that nobody can subsist for long in.

L.A. when it was first established?

therapists rarely see realistic depictions of therapy sessions,

the audience would spontaneously commit sepuku.

I was watching the old movie 'El Cid' - Charlton Heston as Rodrigo Diaz with Sophia Loren as his squeeze - the battle on the beach part, and noticed a coupla things.

One of the Moors was wearing a wrist watch, and the folks up at 30,000 feet watching it all from their Boeing 707 were getting a sneak preview.

Read your thread title and thought...pretty god damn wrong...

See any use of a suppressor, rifles fired in small room with no ear pro, using sheet metal for cover (cars, walls, etc.), people getting blown off their feet when shot, good guys taking torso hits from rifles and surviving...

I'm sure there's more but that's just off the top of my head.

Perhaps the worst offense, imo, is that they use firearms at all without taking even one afternoon to go learn to shoot.

Movies & TV shows are totally exempt from Newton's Third Law of Motion, equal and opposite reactions and so forth lol.
