On the cover of the DVD for the Spielberg movie "Munich", the character is holding a Beretta Model 92 which was not released until several years after the timeframe in which the movie was set.

One of my favorites was in Rambo 2, when he fired the LAW rocket through the broken windshield. 1st, because the back blast would have fried everyone in the rear, and 2nd, because there's no way that LAW would have/could have taken out that Hind. They don't call them "flying tanks" for nothing.

Lots of movies with the Germans using later-model American tanks.

The movie version of "M.A.S.H" with the football game with equipment that is very post-Korea era.

Well, at least the Indians weren't so gauche as to wear cowboy hats that they didn't deserve to wear.

Chuck Conners was left handed. In some of the episodes he is using the rifle left handed. He is one of few men to play pro baseball and basketball. ![[Linked Image]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/A_classic_Black_pair_of_Converse_All_Stars_resting_on_the_Black_%26_White_Ed._Shoebox_%281998-2002%29.JPG) We wore Chucks Converse All Stars back in the 60s and 70s.

I read a quote from Costner about screwing up with the editing on the opening of the gun fight scene where he shots 12 times. The problem comes about because they don't show him switching guns....that part of the edited movie wound up on the floor.
The rest of Open Range is phenomenal. I can see that. They showed him before the fight with 2 guns. Still my count is 14 shots.

Connors, Conners, Taylor - it's all the same.

My favorite is any time the move a firearm, it makes a bunch of "racking noise." Pretty funny, albeit annoying.

On the Breaking Bad episode where Walt buys the Ruger LCR, he spins the cylinder and it clicks like a single action revolver.

I can't stand the poor gun handling! Finger always on the trigger, the cop loading a round in the chamber before making entry into a house, gun pointed up next to the actor's face so both are in the frame, and shooting without even the appearance of aiming.
Don't even get me started on ballistics.

Eric Bana in "Blackhawk Down" carried the gun cocked and loaded and he made a point of telling every it was.
I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

My wife is watching this Sylvester Stallone movie Assasins, well I happened to look at the screen at the right moment.
The scene has a guy up in a building going to shoot Stallone with a scoped rifle. There is an ammo carrier on the side of the rifle. This ammo carrier is loaded with shotgun shells.
You would think with all the money they spend on movies they would get the props right.
Of course I did see a movie about the Gold Rush some time back. Placed in the 1849 era they were carrying 1873 Winchesters. That crap ruins movies for me. Just as Ignorance is NO excuse to Break the Law, stupid is as stupid does.

A couple more that always have me shaking my head is when they throw a perfectly good gun away or angrily throw it at their opponent when it's out of bullets.
The other is picking up guns from dead guys without ever checking to see if it has any bullets left and how many or searching the dead guy for extra loaded magazines.

I'm always annoyed when the actor has racked a pump or lever action, then when he encounters the bad guy he does it again to emphasize how serious he is, but no cartridge is ejected.

Yeah, that's always a good one. Surprised someone hasn't mentioned the old cowboy movies where the cowboy whips the gun forward when he shoots. Bullet goes faster don't ya know. Actually it was probably a carryover from silent pics where you couldn't hear the boom.
