    Who ever is training these actors today needs to stop.

    They pull guns on each in the movie, it's not real, to sell it like you are serious your finger needs to be on the trigger. Not along the slide.

    I get it, you were taught some basic handle skills and they said finger straight unless you're gonna shoot. But when you play the part in your film put your damn finger on the trigger.

    It looks lame ...
     
    I can see the lawsuits now: I bought "Online Training at Sniper's Hide and the instructor said it looks lame to have your finger not on the trigger...... I just wanted to be like Dolf Lundgren..."
     
    Its hard to keep your finger on the trigger when the gun is sideways

    I know been seeing that for a few years now and it bugs the shit out of me .
    same thing with gun prop. being used . I think I see the Same Chrome plated Ber.92fs being used and passed around in every movie and TV series out there . And of course the shooter never has his finger on the trigger of it either .
    .
     
    yeah I agree its way more than just that.. I hate wen some one gets shot ad the fly back like 20 ft I also hate how some one gets shot in the arm and they wrap a shirt around it and carry on like nothing happened
     
    Die Hard 2 or 3 when John McLean shoots power lines with a .38 snub at night with the helicopter's search light on him to make the helicopter crash. I swear I think a forum member wrote that scene.
     
    Books too, Stephen Kings "Doctor Sleep" chapter12 reads, " he flicked off the safety on the Glock with his thumb"
     
    Personal pet peeve is muzzle flash and brass ejecting with no slide cycling. How difficult can it be for a multimillion dollar industry to use blanks or even C02 reciprocating guns and add a muzzle flash.
     
    Brandon Lee getting killed while filming "The Crow" changed a lot about how shooting scenes are filmed...

    Ya I wondered about that when I posted it. Still a CO2 gun could work I would think. CGI and all that

    "Act of Valor" was billed as being filmed using live ammunition. That the principal actors were active duty seals helped emmensely with the safety and the realism. Unfortunately, the seals had a pretty weak script to work with, and none of them could deliver a line. For an enjoyable movie, I'll take wahlberg playing a seal. But, even with the book to use for background, the movie was unable to recreate the intensity of the written account (Lone Survivor).

    I, personally, find the CSI type shows unwatchable. But, I try to turn that part of my brain down when something "scientifical" is presented in a movie. Without that, most movies would be unwatchable. "Suspension of disbelief" is your friend.
