Here's some trivia I found while listening to the commentary: | |||
There was a large problem with the scenes with guns firing, as the blanks used would almost never be caught on film, due to the camera's shutter. This made director George A. Romero animate almost all of the gun's muzzle flashes in post production. Actress [[Lori Cardille]] also described using the Uzi during filming as having such a large recoil kick that it physically forced her back. | |||

== Anyone notice this? == | |||
Does anyone notice in the scene where Rhodes kills Fischer to "convince" John to fly him and his men off the base that the hammer on his S&W 629 doesn't fall, his trigger finger doesn't move when pulling the trigger, and the recoil doesn't look real? | |||

== Smith & Wesson 39/59 == | |||
Sarah's handgun looks more like the later [[Smith & Wesson 59]] rather than the 39, mainly because of the straight backstrap and also the black grips. -[[User:SeptemberJack|SeptemberJack]] ([[User talk:SeptemberJack|talk]]) 22:46, 21 June 2017 (EDT) | |||

: I concur. The first cap also shows the frame bulge. This is a S&W 59. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 01:45, 22 June 2017 (EDT) | |||
