Lugers in Film

JonnyP · Today, 09:15 AM

So I was watching All the Light You Cannot See on Netflix the other day. Surprised to see a few closeups of what appeared to be a very nice Luger - then the scene called for the actor to drop it and it was subsequently kicked across a rough concrete surface. Total cringe moment!

Yes! Hope it was just a prop gun.

Reminds me of the first Dirty Harry movie when his M29 gets kicked across the concrete at the Mt Davidson memorial.

Oh yes, every movie where bad person tells good person to put their gun down or else hostage gets shot. Good person complies and bad person for some unknown reason does not immediately shoot good person. Where do they get these script writers. Where do these script writers get such stupid heroes.

HOPEFULLY they use a nice gun for the closeups, then a beater for the abusive parts of the scene.
