discobob Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Like him or loathe him - but Tom Cruise is one of my favorite actors. I actually own a set of wheels from The Edge of Tomorrow. It wasn't planned - I just bought a spare set for winter tires that matched the ones my car came with off ebay. It was only picking them up that I found out they were from the film and was shown some set footage off his phone - this was 2013 and the film wasn't released until 2014. There is a point when a Jag crashes into a "suited" soldier and if you pause it you can see the Jag (which is a pre-facelift model with frog eyes) had Lyra alloys fitted which were only available on facelift models.

Vince Green Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Lots of shots on the old westerns of the hero galloping on his horse between the wheel tracks of the truck from which they were filming him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The military took over a nearby house and mill from a pal of my Dad’s to house BW for the duration. A few years ago I remember seeing one of the trial bombs (a large canister filled with concrete)out in the mud on a very low spring tide. It was recovered and is now in a local museum. OB I shot a goose there on a clear January day around 2000 and an anti came rushing over in her fleece jacket and asked me "how can you kill a goose on such a wonderful day?" I replied "sorry, can I only shoot them when the weather is bad?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbower Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Avery old Film , Ice cold in Alex, set in 1943 , has a mk1 Landy as an Army vehicle. Burt Lancaster in 'The Crimson Pirate ' has an Aircraft trail across the sky. Oldies , show its always happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Watched 1917 on my phone on Friday night. I’m not a gun nut but after loading his Lee Enfield with a single stripper clip at the start of the film (the entire film is a single shot) he never needs to reload despite numerous engagements. Also, very sportingly he carries his rifle unloaded during battle, as every time he has a German in his sights he racks the bolt to take the first shot.

There are one or two films where someone is being threatened with a pump action. For dramatic effect they rack the action, So I assume it's now loaded and wasn't before. I can stomach that. But then as the tension builds they rack it again... No cartridge is ejected. Also. On any film where they pull out a fancy sniper rifle to pull of a mile and a half shot, why is the scope always something out of a christmas cracker?

bruno22rf Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Not a film but in the inbetweeners - caravan trip episode, Neil is seen sat at the table with a bottle of ketchup in his hand, 30 seconds later he asks if there's any ketchup.

And when the camera shows the view through the scope the victim’s head fills the object glass. You lot have got me at it now. I noticed in an episode of ‘Death in Paradise’ the characters set off in a Land Rover with steel wheels and when it pulled up it had alloys.
