Hajde da se prisetimo nekih davnih kultnih filmova. Nećemo to činiti zato što su oni nekad više tražili da pazite na tanane finese u dijalozima nego ovi danas, već zato što ovi danas manje traže da pazite na tanane finese u dijalozima nego oni nekad.
Ne, dragi moji: to nije isto.
I know what you’re thinking: “Did he fire six shots or only five?” For to tell you the truth in all this excitement I’ve kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow you head clean off, you’ve gotta ask yourself one question: “Do I feel lucky?” Well, do ya, punk?
Kad ste poslednji put gledali “Prljavog Harija“? IMDB za taj film veli da je Klistvud koristio Smith & Wesson Model 29 sa mecima kalibra .41, a ne .44. Ergo, buuuu!
Ako dovoljno zdušno surfujete po TV kanalima, naletećete na prikazivanje filma ovih dana, garant.
Ergo BUM! Ne čita se pažljivo:
“Dirty Harry’s gun is supposedly a Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver, chambered for a .44 Magnum cartridge. In the film, the gun is shown as being capable of sending assailants flying through the air, even when shot from a distance, however, in reality the gun does not produce such dramatic results. Additionally, the .44 Magnum round is not considered to be a practical caliber for urban police force use due to recoil (which makes target re-acquisition difficult) and over-penetration issues, which greatly increases the likelihood of the bullet going through its target and injuring bystanders. The actual gun used on set by Clint Eastwood was in fact a Smith & Wesson Model 29. It is a common misconception that a Model 29 could not be located and a Model 57, chambered in .41 Magnum, was used instead. Clint Eastwood contacted Bob Sauer, representative for Smith and Wesson, to acquire the pistol. The Model 29 had been out of production for several years at the time, but a number of pistols were assembled from parts at the factory and provided to the crew. Eastwood took one to a firing range to familiarize himself with the Model 29.”
