Talk:Shutter Island

Just saw it tonight, Teddy Daniels doesn't use a detective special he uses a a model 10 Smith and Wesson M&P. humanzie3

Quick question about the holsters: did they have leather paddle holsters in 1954?

Made some small suggesstions on main page. However, for the SS officer's Walther, could it be a custom job, or did they not have the technology at the time for such a nickel finish. Also, as I suggested on the main page, I believe that at least in the holster shot, DiCaprio's sidearm appears to be a Colt Marshal (a derivative of the Colt Official Police but with a rounded grip) and not a Smith and Wesson Military and Police. However, for the scenes in the light house, that is definently a Smith and Wesson, as indicated by its shrouded ejector rod. Also, there are some form of Winchester lever-action rifles found in the movie (in the scenes of clean-up after the hurricane).SAWGunner89 00:07, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

The WWII Flashback

For those who has seen the movie, the one thing about the WWII flashback the actually bothered me wasn't the whole line up the Germans and shoot them, they deserved it. But it was that all the American soldiers were carrying Garands. It was a whole line of them. I was expecting a few Tommies or a BAR in between, but all Garands! Excalibur01

Quite strange to me. It feels like WW1 with just self-loading rifles and a pistol. - Kenny99 21:39, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Goof?

The Kommandant is lying on the floor, and his left cheek looks like it just exploded. What is presumably his Walther PP is lying beside him, just out of reach of his left hand. If we're to assume that shot himself with his left hand, from the left side of his head, wouldn't it be his right cheek that's a mess? Aren't exit wounds much more likely to be messier than entry wounds? --funkychinaman 03:39, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Now that you mention it...that's right. Unless when the man fell, he dropped his Walther...on the other side of his body Excalibur01 04:06, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
