i've been keenly watching the new FX show sons of anarchy and i noticed a small "glitch" in the credit sequence at on point a knife is shown in someone's hand but the knife begins the shot as a balisong and ends it as a italian switchblade. this is the kind of thing that ONLY a knife enthusiast like one of us would notice.
 
I hate that...
Almost every movie i watch.. I notice different things in each take of a scene... have it be clothes, hats, accessories... even someones hair... Bugs the piss out of me.. and I dont mean to notice..
Good find there...
Im gonna have to check it out....

I notice that with pistols and aircraft all the time in lower budget movies and even some higher budget movies like how can a B-17 turn into a B-24 in just 3 frames.
 
One that bugged me was the movie about a sniper who was set up for shooting some head of state, I don't recall the name. He is shooting a Barrett M82A1 in one of the opening scenes but keeps manually charging the action on a semi auto. The only reason to charge it is because they are shooting blanks.

Later in the show he is sneaking around a house carrying a bolt action rifle. In one scene it is a right handed gun. In the next scene the bolt is on the left side, then back to the right again. I assume they just edited the image in reverse.

It's the little things that bug me. My wife hates to watch movies with me.

If you watch the show flashpoint the sniper keeps shooting people with the bolt handle up.

movie was shooter

based on the books on bob lee swagger by stephen hunter
 
I forget the name of the movie, it was on AMC recently I think. But it had a bunch of guys rapid firing bolt action rifles -- without working the bolt. And it was all on screen, not shifting perspective, so I couldn't dismiss it as the bolts being worked off screen.

Or when Glocks turn into Berettas. I mean, first of all, how hard is it to get the actor to pick up the right prop when doing different takes -- don't they have people paid to do just that? Second, if you can't get the buffoon to pick up the same prop, at least pick something that remotely looks like what you had before.

Re: Sons of Anarchy -- I saw that too, but thought I was seeing things, I'm not real familiar with balisongs or switchblades.
 
This is the result of the anti's making movies.
Dare they hire a consultant from the NRA to teach them a thing or 2

Good eye Colonel! And you are right, as only a knife aficionado would have picked up on something like that. Everytime I watch a movie or T.V. and a knife shows up, I try my best to identify it. It's surprising what you see sometimes, i.e., On "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" Bobby pulled out a MT Scarab to use, and I've seen it on 2 other occasions! Not everyday you expect to see one of these to show up!:D
 
I noticed it the first time I saw it as I am a switchblade nut,flashey opening winding up with a big evil stiletto switchblade,that looks pretty good,by the way.
Yup,that was definetly made by an anti.:rolleyes:

I didn't see it as a glitch, but shots of two different knives.
 
Talking about dumb things in shows.
In Babylon A.D. when they pulled out there glocks they kept thumbing the hammer back. :cool::cool::cool:

Only the super taticool people can do that. :yawn:
:D:D
 
Yeah, but I think most, (and I say most, not all) of you Hollywood types are a little fruity anyway. They don't know nothing about guns. What do you expect from those nit wits.
 
Man, any movie with a soldier in uniform is fertile ground for boo-boos. Medals, unit patches, even rank seems hard for H-wood to get down. You'd think market-savvy Tinseltown would realize accuracy is as simple as a mouse click. Are all set designers, prop masters and editors stoners?

Another good example of this is when F-14 Tomacats suddenly turn into F-18 Hornets in Independence Day
 
The open wearing of the Ka Bar forward of the hip in Sons of Anarchy is bizarre.

But it is a fascinating if shallow look into biker trash culture, and the writers must have emigrated from The Shield along with "Dutch" in his new ATF role. Pretty snappy lingo.
 
What cracks me up is when they try to add dramatic effect to a scene by manually cycling a gun over and over and over again, usually a pump shotgun or semi-auto pistol before the shooting even starts.
Don't they realize once they've charged the weapon, that further cyclings are just tossing out live rounds?
 
And the cowboy shooting a Colt Single action army only the guy pulls the trigger double action style. :confused:

I think there is a ratio...the more times a shotgun is racked, the more likely one shot will send the target flying back 10 feet and through a plate glass window. It must mean shotguns power increases like a pump airgun :rolleyes:

:D
