Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,
and a trip to the house of pain.

Stallone's revolver in The Expendables. He fires like 30 rounds, fanning the hammer, with 100% accuracy and after he is done the cylinder is spinning at 1000 RPM for 30 seconds.

Re: Movie Mistakes with Firearms
Aside from the obvious of Walkin' Dead or Falling Skies, there was a scene in the original Killer Elite of the mid 70's; in a scene toward the end, Bo Hopkins is on a motor sailboat holding a Hollywood MAC-10 "Uzi" with the fake Uzi front end attached to the MAC - upside down.
In a later scene, the MACUzi looks "normal" again with the front sights up.
Whatever.
At least Keltec guns get in the hands of Hollyweird prop-shops, like in Walkin Dead and the KSG.All of my guns are lubed with BACON GREASE.

Re: Movie Mistakes with Firearms
Yes the Lethal Weapon series, some of the greatest films of all time.
I remember being at school when Lethal Weapon came out and all the kids were acting out scenes from the movie all the time.
They are great movies for ridiculous firearms handling and capabilities.
I think some of the best films for gun fights are the "Heroic Bloodshed" or "Gun Fu" films out of Hong Kong in the late 1980's/early 1990's. The Killer, A Better Tomorrow, City on Fire, Hardboiled, etc. are all worth seeing.
This was a good one as well:

Re: Movie Mistakes with Firearms
I thought Lethal Weapon 1 & 2 were excellent; 3 & 4 were a waste of time. After pressure from anti gun groups, the walls of the movie precinct were plastered with anti NRA signs - just to show that Gibson, Glover, and Chris Rock were OK to shoot anyone that needed shooting but... well, you know. The weapons got crazier as the sequels progressed.
Know your audience. Don't try to sell a Prius at a Monster Truck Rally.

They say"Let's get 'em", rack it up and 50ft later at the door; rack it again. If they actually used real cartridges they'd be "Oh shit, I better pick that up!" And where the heck do they carry the 25 12ga shells they need for that scene? Their pants pockets oughta look like chipmunk cheeks. qp In Pulp Fiction after they shoot the "what?" guy and his buddy, their slides lock back. When "handcannon" boy comes outa the can and does his "devine intervention" mag dump on 'em, Jules and Vincent are already reloaded. I love that film. ("We oughta have shotguns for this")

Watching The Hi-Lo Country. The character racks the lever on a rifle that appears to be a Winchester. They show a close-up of his face, then back to the rifle, where you see him thumb back the hammer which is somehow down.
