How would you rate his loadout for his time period?
>>
The Chamelot-Delvignes are pretty obsolete by 1923; Webley top-breaks or any solid-frame revolver with a swing-out cylinder would be more appropriate. The 1911s are still good. A Winchester Model 1912 would be better than the 1897, but the 1897 had a understandably dominant market share in the 1920s. Still great interwar /k/ino.

>God I wish adventure movies weren't a dead genre.
They're just made with themes that resonate better with today's audience, which isn't us.
The Minecraft movie was an adventure movie, Pirates of the Carribean, which is pretty dated now but still more modern than The Mummy, was also one and there are still more like it coming.
>>
>>64476326
They simply don’t resonate with the global audience. The mummy came out when you needed to only please the American market. The other two big markets Europe and Japan also shared American preferences for action films. Now you have to make a movie that foremost both Wang in Shanghai and Rajesh in Mumbai can enjoy. And these two certainly have no interest in watching white folk from the West having jolly colonial adventures.

I have no idea why he had so many fucking hand guns. Doesn't he have 2 revolvers and a 1911?
The shotgun I guess would make sense because it was probably easier to source shot shells in 1923 egypt
>>64475996
did they have revolver dumb dumbs in 1923? my only guess would be a 1911 can't feed expanding bullets and I don't think they had .45acp hollow points back then

>did they have revolver dumb dumbs in 1923?
The British had expanding bullets with the .455 Mk.III cartridge in 1898. Webleys would have made more sense in that context (especially because .455 would be easy to source in Egypt in the '20s) but maybe they're thinking he's coming from French North Africa where 11mm Mle.1873 would be more common.

That opening scene takes place several years before the events of the story. Somehow he winds up in prison in British-controlled Egypt.

he still picks the frog revolvers. doesn't he use them in the opening scene with the FFL after he ditches his lebel? it looks like he uses and then ditches 2 revolvers

Yes, and he also pulls two M1911s and loses those as well. He doesn't seem to have any guns left when fleeing across the desert.

I'm saying other than the shotgun be bought guns he was familiar with from the FFL

I wanted to throw In the Army Now in as another since he did have a speaking role but a quick joke about shit army food didn’t seem like enough and feels like a bit of stolen valor since the film really stands on its own without him.

wasn't that because the director was unavailable and Fraiser told the producers he wouldn't do it without the director?

Kidney stone

>>64476766
Excuse. Fraser made a hit and then some studio exec decided to shoehorn in Johnson to make progress on his multi film deal. As usual they made him an unbeatable Gigachad with no flaws and the second film sucked balls.
>>

>>64476766
There’s a second film with the Rock?
>>
>>64476830
yeah. the director of the first one was working as the special effects guy and second unit director for john carter so Fraser said he would do it when the director was free but then the producers just made it with the rock instead. most of the cast was replaced because they wanted to wait for the director
>>
>>64476840
Truly the Rock was a disaster for the movie industry.
>>
>>64476711
Weird The Whale plug: I'm Hickock tall and have had crippling back pain. That movie made me viscerally empathize with how well they depicted Fraser as an absolute unit in constant pain. They also did a great job depicting impoverished living conditions. I can't think of a movie that does a better job of building a set that actually looks like where a slob like that would live.
>>
>>64476705
Man, when I saw that movie when it was still in theaters I genuinely thought that was Tim Curry. Now I just found out it was one of those two guys from Flight of the Conchords.

>>64476843
Just remember that the Rock's first big screen debut was a shitty CGI monster. Though I will say that early Rock was decent in his films and that Pain and Gain was one of his best films.

given the cost of those weapons at the time, it doesn't really make sense.

You don't take jack boots into the dessert because they intermediately fill full of sand, you just take bog standard infantry boots.
You don't take a load bearing belt if you have no load to bear, the belt is heavy and awkward, it rubs on your hip if you're wearing light pants, for what purpose?
Two revolvers? under the arm? no. You'd carry them abrace like a pirate, and in terms of loadout you'd actually carry one large caliber deringer and one magazine fed gun. for the same reason the frnech GIGN carried large caliber revolver. the only reason to have a second handgun is for situations where you're obliged to shoot offhand, but don't want to drop your primary handgun.

The neckerchief is always and without exeption worn under the shirt, arounf the neck, and it's sole purpose is to stop shit falling down your shirt and stop sweat soaking you, because you can just wring it out. just like a bandana.
>>
You don't wear a bandelero acroross your shoulder because you can't access the ammo on half of it, that's why you see it worn loose across the hip.

Gloves need to cover your wrist, knuckles, the inner palm where you might climb onto something sharp, a cloth wrap is totally legitimate. I used to have mechanix which I cut the fingers off and extended down the wrist with random bits of hard plastic.

Nobody who opperated has hair which could civer their eyes, and we all have a short. bayonet. not for combat, but for the green zone.

They are going for the indiana jones look, but I lived the indiana jones life. Fought in the dessert, several dessets, stole relics, ran guns, drugs, shot a whole bunch of local rats.

If you carry a shotgun you would know the various sling points, one is a carry sling, the one he has is a marksman's sling, the two point always existed, the sling should always be long enough to be puled behind the stock and dominant shoulder, beccause if you wear it over the shoulder, you're fucked if you have to unsling it to shoot it.

So today you'd just see wrist wraps, a bandolier around the waist rather then a belt, one primary pistol for CQB because it's your oly magazine fed gun, a derringer abrace for taking blind points, you'd see tennis sweat bands or cloth worn in the same place, crew cut, the shotgun would have a choke and bayonette lug tag welded onto it, possibly with a long spike worn in place of a dagger. I killed quiet a few people with the spike, used as a stiletto. If you wrap it to your hand prison style you can use it at any length, and at arms you can slash at any stupid peasant who wants to invade you personal space.

We fucked the janjaweed and Ivan, and we did it the good old fasioned way.
>>
I remember seeing this in the theater with my father. I know it's only pg13 but it was definitely the first grown up movie I saw. The beetles under the skin really stuck with me...

The old man just died horribly of dementia. I fucking miss watching movies with him. Love you dad.
>>
Also shirts have sleeves to prevent sunburn, which in the dessert you can expect a lot of. White guy walking around like that would be suffering after two days of walking around centeral ciaro.
This is why close weave linen exists, cotton sticks to you like a wet sheet, coarse linen won't protect you from sunburn. I unirionically wore 10+ polly thermals in the desset because it's freezingat night and they wick really well during the day, and also are UV resistant.

Socks are a real think, you wear really course socks, which seems counter intuitive, but like jungle boots the issue is letting the sand out. sand in boot, unvoidable. sand trapped in sock, very quickly becomes an issue. It's also legitimate to wear no socks, and bag your whole boot with a plastc bag at night if you have to sleep in the open, and bury the bagged foot in the hot sand.

A lot o opperators will take a calico strap on the pump of a shotgun, because the issue is ho do you brace a long arm with your front hand, if you're holding a slide.It's OK when you slam it forward, but when you pull it back you don't have a lot of control over the front end. and there are situations where you really want to hold the slide with only the thumb of your fist, like you would a charging handle, pull the whole shotgun back while your fist is anchored on a solid surface. Shotguns have a very long range, you often use them supported to that ends.

> They're just made with themes that resonate better with today's audience, which isn't us.
The Minecraft movie was an adventure movie, Pirates of the Carribean, which is pretty dated now but still more modern than The Mummy, was also one and there are still more like it coming.

My old man told me how they did the CGI so I wouldn't be scared, and I yelled at the TV that it was an overlay.

He cried when I told him I was going to fight, said the first person I met with a gun would just shoot me in the back.He didn't know that I left at 18 and already did the rounds. killed more than 20 people by the time I was 20, killed 15 with a single magazine. however bad he imagined it would be, well I'd already been there.

We actually used shotguns a lot because it was too hot to wear armor, there were not real exactions so if someone was wounded they generally just died in the dessert, even if you captured wounded people there was nowhere to send them, you just gave then a knife to cut their wrists if nobody came for them. and at 200 yards it's far easier to hit a moving target with a shotgun, and when the terrain is flat you really can pepper a whole collumn of guys. and AK in comparison still can't penetrate sand, it's heavy, the ammo is heavy not in terms of the bullet, but in terms of the shot. far too large to hit an unarmoured person with. the magazine doesn't work well prone, which in the dessert with no cover is your default shooting position, shit you'd take and enfield. of course we had semi auto shotguns and speed loaders, you can seriously fuck up civvie vehicles that way, a technical full of dudes.It's like hitting it with 100 9mm bullets in fifteen seconds.nobody is getting on that dishka

totally valid. But to the viewer, they just know the FFL as as the western forces in north africa. They wouldnt have seen the connection between taipei, tibet, dhelli, north africa, historical or theater.

but their armorer somehow found them early issue 1911, and many antique arms for the berbers.in the whole film there may only have been a single gun manufactured after the date of the movie, and it was still just a stand in for an earlier model, I didn't even notice myself. The armourer for the film also did particularly well in shooting, even in the large scenes with horses nobody ND's anyone else in the ear with a blank, you don't see extras flagging each other with blanks at close range in open scenes

in the scheme of things it was a minor loss, why make a brother feel bad about a simple accident, why try to sue and became a basket case.
Of all the things people lost in the war, all the things I took from people, the things I saw people lose, 70% of my hearing is nothing.

I had a dram last night about my old patrolman kiling himself and his wife back home killing herself, then the guy I left to die in the dessert eating their bodies and me finding him limbless after trying to drink his own blood. a decade and I still have nightmares like that.

The guy who shot a blank in my ear, he's a hero, buy him beers, carry him on my shoulders, nothing but the best for him.I even break bread with amar and abdul, why live with the guilt, that war, our war is over.

one of the main protagonists had a aircraftmodel lewis,and again credit to the armourer, they didn't use the shrouded infantry model. but the lewis is a quad support gun, unless you have three guys carrying, loading, supporting you it's not a viable weapon.

The Thompson was kind of garbage compared to the MP18 which saw widespread use among partisans.but you couldn't have got ammo for either in that theater. a shotgun with a bandolier is like having 200 rounds of 9mm without the weight of magazines, which is the issue with both BAR and MP18.

The 1887 which the hero caries fires brass shells, a key advantage of which is your ability to reload the spent brass in the field. many of the nomads would/did/ are still using dated rifles, the powder and primers of which are passable for reloading brass 12g.

"British Indian Arsenal at Dum Dum produced a .303 cartridge with a soft lead tip that would mushroom on impact to increase stopping power. Soldiers and journalists started calling them “Dum-Dum” bullets after the arsenal. The wounds they made were gruesier than full-metal-jacket rounds, so their use in warfare was condemned and led to an international ban on expanding bullets for war (Hague Declaration, 1899).

Today people often use “dum-dum” loosely to mean any expanding bullet (hollow-point or soft-point)"

It's a pretty common cowboy tactic. Revolvers take a long ass time to reload and spare 1911 mags weren't cheap. What you'd do is carry as many revolvers as possible and simply swap guns rather than reloading. By the time you're out of loaded guns you've either won or died.

they never make any mention of Brendon or Jonathon fighting in WWI even though they both would have been old enough. the bulk of the film takes place in 1926. the opening scene takes place in 1923 and Rick's in the FFL and that's only 5 years after WWI. There's no way jonathan's character is under 28
>>
>>64477729
>>64478122
actually apparently according to the cartoon or third film Rick was born in 1902, which makes no sense, so Johnathan I guess would be the only one old enough to be a WWI vet

Because he had been there before and his entire platoon sized element was slaughtered.

70% of the AEF was drafted (thanks wilson) so it would be less likely an American would end up in WWI at 16 than it would be for a bong or frog

he wasn't fighting a whole platoon with evee and jonathan

Dude. Watch the movie. The entire reason they rescued him from execution is because the very first scene in the movie is him and his FFL guys getting smoked by the Muslims guarding the ruins and he is the only survivor. He was the only person that had ever been there and lived to tell about it. And Benny I guess but he’s bitch made so we don’t count him.

I know, but he wasn't going to fight 80 sand people with just fucking eve and jonathan

So in the first film, Rick uses two Chamelot-Delvigne 1873s, a 1911 and a cut down Winchester 1897.

The revolvers stand out as a particularly bad choice. A crude, outdated, gate loaded revolver firing an obsolescent BP cartridge. By the mid 1920s many better options were readily available, so the only reason to use something that shitty would have been rule of cool on the part of the film production.
The 1911 by contrast is probably the best or one of the best handguns available at the time, so it is a solid choice.
The Winchester 1897 makes a lot of sense too. It is a takedown model stored disassembled in a rollout pack with his other weapons. Arguably the model 12 was better, but the 97 was still very popular and common for a long time after the setting of the film. It is certainly a significant upgrade over a single shot or double barrel shotgun.

It would be interesting to see a rifle in the mix, with a takedown Savage 99 or Remington model 8 being possible. Carrying one long gun in the pack would have already been kind of heavy though, so it makes sense why he wouldn't necessarily go for a second.

In the second film his arsenal is somewhat upgraded. He has 2 1911s and a large frame S&W. Instead of a Winchester 1897 he has an 1887 and a sawed off SxS which I think is a downgrade, but "ROC" applies and they might have wanted Terminator 2 vibes.
Finally, an M1928 Thompson which he thankfully carries in the trunk of his car because actually running around with everything would be rather impractical. There is even a bandolier of rifle bullets but nothing to shoot them out of (that is seen, anyway).

The 3rd film has a giant trunk shared by both Rick and Alex. (Or two trunks? I'm checking IMFDB at this point). It has all of the guns from the second film plus BHPs, P38s, PPS-43s, a Remington model 8, a Webley MKVI and a Winchester 1897. The film is set in 1946 so much better rifles were available, but BHPs and PPS-43s were a good choice.

Overall,

Film 1: 7/10
Film 2: 8/10
Film 3: 9/10

Breddy gud. Rick was clearly written as somebody familiar and somewhat choosy with the weapons he carried although over time this expanded to an arsenal full of redundancy.

bretty gun honestly the armourers in that film did a good job except he would have had dynamite if he was an operator

He uses them sure, but it's not in his kit. IE it's a weapon he happened to grab in that moment rather than a weapon he procured as a matter of choice and used in his travels.
>>
>>64475996
>>64476464
Eclectic and even sub optimal load outs are infinitely more realistic than ideal loadouts for a character in a living world instead of a matrix gun room.

He got whatever he could get ammunition for, whatever he'd happened to have used in the past, and whatever they had at the market that was in good condition.

The presence of weird guns increases the verisimilitude.
>>
>>64478746
Well sure, but at some point it is like Jason Bourne using a VZ-52 by choice when he already also has a Glock 19. It's a little too much of a leap.
>>
>>64478754
Rick might have extremely different ammunition availability for different calibers, and might have specific knowledge about his ability to resupply different calibers in one place or another.

>>
>>64478754
>>64478882
I think he must not have had much .45 acp or many 1911 mags because the 1911 is the only gun he loans out during the film.
>>
>>64478563
I think the revolvers are just what he was familiar with from the FFL, probably out of their armoury, while the 1911s were his own guns, so it does make some sense.

Now if you wanted to give the character the coolest possible rifle that he could feasibly have in the later movies, it's got to be the colt monitor

>Just remember that the Rock's first big screen debut was a shitty CGI monster. Though I will say that early Rock was decent in his films and that Pain and Gain was one of his best films.
I liked his early stuff but it just seems that the fame has gone to his head and he has a fucking Magna Carta of stipulations for his characters and how they act, he just seems a bit too full of himself now. Also do any of you guys think he seethes that he was the one Polynesian actor in Hollywood who wasn’t in that Jason Mamoa show?

Rachel Weisz said that early in her career, she kept the wierd Jewy surname specifically to attract notice from Jewish movie execs. And Eva Green is also a kike, btw.

he's been in jail for 3 years at the start of the film. he does use the revolvers and 1911 in the first scene but I would guess he purchased the 2 revolvers, 1911 and shotgun in cairo

>>64480021
nah, he's only been in jail for a short time in the film, since the brother managed to steal from him quite recently. I figure the guns were just in whatever flophouse he was renting a room in

Being badly-lead and getting massacred for it is unironically why the FFL exists. The French military establishment wanted disposable soldiers whom no-one in Metropolitan France would mourn and whose deaths would cause family to complain to the government. And because FFL duty assignments usually sucked their commands were used as punishments for officers who fucked up in the regular army.

>>64483401
>He was a part of the ffl so it makes sense for him to have the chamelots
He loses the first pair in the opening battle. Once he gets out of prison it doesn't make that much sense for him to seek them out again in British-controlled Egypt, where British or American weaponry & especially ammunition will be more available.
