What does Canada have to do with the .44 Mag?...if that is your logic wouldn't it be more likely that its a airsoft...since it's filmed in Canada. | What does Canada have to do with the .44 Mag?...if that is your logic wouldn't it be more likely that its a airsoft...since it's filmed in Canada.[[Spades of Columbia]] | ||

Charles Taylor's Armory
These didn't really fit on the main page so here's some shots of Charles Taylor's armory from the film.
Images...
Anyone think we're all overdoing a bit w/the number of images that are posted? Takes forever to scroll thru 'em all & the page is a 1000Xs larger than it needs to be! How about an upper limit of say 3-5? Tommyt 20:37, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
- Blasphemy. Hot Fuzz has even more images, as well it should. 24.228.54.78 21:56, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- What's this "we" shit? I don't see you making pages. I've been better about going over on screencaps, but many of these shots show different users, different scenes, and do more than just document guns. I also made Hot Fuzz btw. Check my pages made, I've made a lot of pages. And I do upload a lot of screencaps sometimes, but I rarely do so without a cause. Try reading the captions under the images, they tend to show why I go over sometimes. - Gunmaster45
- Okay, no more "we shit" ;) "YOU go overboard with screencaps" is what some posters are saying ... and you always take it personally, like they don't appreciate the hard work you do. That's not the issue. Of course you do hard work and much of it is excellent, but you seem to have a really hard time understanding why a lot of IMFDB users start getting tired of seeing 15-20 shots of the same gun. (BTW, you have gotten much better re: screencaps compared to the earlier pages, which of course, none of us can edit at all or else you'll kill us ;) ) You have to start understanding that there is a point where viewers start saying to themselves "Alright already! Enough with the fucking gun! Get on with it already!" There has to be a filter where one sees that there is too much of a good thing. Again this has nothing to do with the hard work. It is incredibly hard work and you are thanked for it. But don't confuse criticism for the editorial decision with insults to your hard work or direct insults for that matter. For the record, I will never 'touch' one of your pages. You're a mod, so it is inappropriate, but I am tempted to start cutting back some of the absolutely ridiculous pages made by new members. It makes IMFDB look bad when it appears we have no restraint whatsoever when it comes to screencaps (Like this section) Again, critiques of editorial choices are not insults to the man. But we (IMFDB) are going to see more and more of these 'conflicts'. MPM
- BTW, I do like what you did on this page, even though I will never see this antigun film. MPM2008
- Heh, that is my We Were Soldiers page. That was unexpected but i guess it was just matter of time until someone counted the screencaps and complained about them. I am really, really sorry. The gun porn in that movie was just too good.Oliveira 20:06, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
- It's not like I pic a bunch of crappy shots though that barely show the gun. I try to pick the best of the best. I never have that "Enough already" mentallity, so maybe that's why I never understand what the big deal is. - Gunmaster45

Desert Eagle
The screencap of the Desert Eagle closeup looks pretty clearly stamped with ".44". Also, the film was shot in Canada, which makes the usage of a .44 magnum handgun much more likely.
What does Canada have to do with the .44 Mag?...if that is your logic wouldn't it be more likely that its a airsoft...since it's filmed in Canada.Spades of Columbia
This Film is Anti gun
Anyone else annoyed by this film's rhetoric and think it's anti-gun? there were quotes like "What do you think of the 2nd Amendment now" and "why so people can go deer hunting with an uzi" all said by the hero -User:AdAstra2009
- I agree. How stupid is that, a shoot em up (actually named shoot em up) is anti gun. Or at least Smith is anti gun, which makes him a mega hypocrite. - Gunmaster45
- I say it's anti-"Bad people having guns". I'd say Smith doesn't hate guns in themselves, or he hates guns, but acknowledges that there is no way to completely eradicate them. I dunno, I just watch this for the action. -protoAuthor
- Christ, not this argument AGAIN... --Clutch 03:43, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Just a question...
Has that guy been turned into a cardboard cutout of himself by the blast from the shotgun? He looks rather flat. Dongs 01:55, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
- He does look flat. I won't put past that considering the rest of the movie.-Oliveira 01:59, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
- It's just a trick of the camera, he falls back and hits the wall after he's shot, so I doubt they could get a cardboard cut out to do that. - Gunmaster45
sorry i have to point out an error on the quotation given
its not Mr Bill Hertz it's Mr Karl Hertz
hope this helps

now we know the results of trap the hero of an action movies in a gun factory

I fail to see a resemblance --AdAstra2009 04:27, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
MP5K
I don't know if the photo on the set is ever maked with the same weapons used in the final version of the film, but the image below reveals that Smith fires an MP5KA4 and not an MP5K with navy group in the stairs scene how specificated in the page... --Charly Driver 21:11, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
- It might be a continuity error. Our screencaps show that the MP5K has an SEF trigger group initially. Though I can't really be sure, as I haven't seen this movie yet. -MT2008 21:22, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
