Talk:Manhunter

Why ? Why did my needful pictures always deleted even before i post it ? It sucks. :( --Kloga 18:46, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Is it really fair to call this a cult film? It's not as well known as Red Dragon, but it was made by Michael Mann during the height of Miami Vice's popularity. --Funkychinaman 18:48, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Cult film is NOT THE POPULAR AND WELL KNOWN film, it's usually film, that was a flop, but became enjoyable classic for some people. The "Manhunter" was a film of that kind. It get its cult status even before The Silence of the Lambs, and get the bigger one, when it was discovered later by Hannibal Lecter series fans. --Kloga 19:10, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

These guns need identification: --Ben41 20:48, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Unknown Handgun

An unknown pistol is seen carried in a IWB holster by Jack Crawford (Dennis Farina). He never uses this pistol in the film.

Crawford is on the left, with his pistol, that he's just about to hide in his pants.

Here is a better view of the gun carried by Farina. He also carries it in a holster, not stuffed in his pants as previously stated. --Predator20 22:11, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Strange holster. Thanks for the screenshots. --Kloga 22:25, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Is that IWB? How does he bend over without hurting himself? You'd think an ex-cop like Dennis Farina and a gun guy like Michael Mann would know better. --Funkychinaman 00:01, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Considering it's a clip type IWB holster it can easily be removed or adjusted when he sits down. He may like it better in the 10 o'clock position instead of 9 o'clock.--Predator20 00:20, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Looks a bit to me like a Smith & Wesson Semi-Auto. Not sure what model, but it looks a bit like a compact model. Maybe a Smith & Wesson 469. It's correct for the time period and the magazine base plate looks like that of a sub-compact S&W. -Gunman69 03:56, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

BTW, is there any mention of Crawford's gun in the novel Red Dragon? -Gunman69 04:01, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

S&W 469 - 9x19mm

The first cop with his revolver.

Where is the second revolver screenshot? It was here yesterday. --Kloga 13:15, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

That looks like a Colt Python. -Gunman69 04:02, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

If anything, I'd say it was a short-barrelled Ruger GP100. If the page maker would agree, I'll put it in. --Jackbel 10:26, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

The second shotgun is on the left, hold by cop, that resembling Anthony Hopkins.

Judging by the magazine tube, the first one is likely a pistol-gripped Remington 870. -Gunman69 04:03, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Charter Arms Picture

I tried changing it a few years ago and it just got changed back. The picture of the Charter Arms Bulldog on this page is not a "pre 90's model" but a police model. The Bulldog in the film looks like a standard older model Bulldog, one with regular sights (not adjustable target sights) and an enshrouded ejector rod. Is anyone else with me on this one? 10:14, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
