Talk:The Iron Giant

This was a good movie, I'm gonna have to watch it again. Didn't quite like the whole view on guns though. - Gunmaster45

Would you prefer a spring-loaded showerhead? I think the view on guns fits the general, not-too-bright ambient of the movie. But of course, that's just my opinion. --83.78.166.123 17:33, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

The "ambient" of the movie? What is that, exactly? And I don't think the movie was anti-gun in any way. It was about the what the people were doing with them. The Iron Giant just didn't want to be a tool of destruction, a "gun" to him was a representation of that; in his limited knowledge of the world around him.--Spikemonkey 22:40, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Did anyone else notice that when Hogarth tapes the flashlight to the BB gun it blocks the barrel? I can't remember if he ever fires it, but it seemed odd to me. - Alabastor Twob

M1911 sound effects

I watched this movie again recently, and I noticed that in the scenes where General Rogard fires his M1911 at the Giant, the sound effects are exactly the same pistol sound effects used in Terminator 2: Judgment Day when the T-1000 fires his pistol at the T-800 in the mall and mental institution scenes. Anyone else catch that?
