Which movies/shows do it right and which ones have it done it the worse? Post your favorite examples
pic rel is recent example of 28 years later "NATO soldiers"

>>63761375 (OP)
why don't they just shoot them

>>63761375 (OP)
>28 years later

why are you watching slop?

>>63761381
we can't watch it, its not out yet

>>63761375 (OP)
Isn't there some rule about not using real uniforms? That's why any shows with military uniforms are always wrong in some way.

>>63761375 (OP)
I get they have no camo, but is that your only gripe? The soldiers in the movie are from Sweden and set in 2031, it is possible such a conscript heavy army goes back to solid green.

They may also equip forces going to Britain differently, since you do not need camouflage against the infected, if tours primarily revolve around the island, standard equipment might change.

>Isn't there some rule about not using real uniforms?
no that's bs, generally 99% of people are not able to tell if a uniform is "accurate" so filmmakers/costume department don't bother to make it perfect.

the movie probably has a shit budget so they just went with amazon-tier gear. a 15 dollar tactical vest, 40 dollar BDUs, a 30 dollar helmet with 5 dollar flashlights taped to them. ARs ar probably CYMA airsoft guns

You could dedicate this entire thread to the walking dead lol
>>63761379
horror films require all involved characters to have a 50 iq to the plot to progress

>>63761439
What the fuck

>>63761477
>>63761472
I never understand why in movies all of sudden the goons just stop shooting and just try to fist fight people. I guess its just to look cool

>>63761511
because movie fight choreography has been worthless for over a decade now.

>>63761472
wtf is going on here, is batman fighting space nazis with alien backup?

>>63761375 (OP)
Its a technical thing most people don't know about, so there no point in investing time in details. Take pianos for example, in the vast majority of shows the keys people press don't correlate with the sound you hear, but only a tiny of fraction of people will both notice and give a shit, so there's no point in the actor learning to play. As far as most people are concerned, green army man in tac vest with some greebles is enough, there is no consideration for whether the greebles make sense.

>>63761472
Ah yes this is the scene with backwards muzzle flashes because the poojeet intern flipped the sprites.

>>63761520
Soldier was the last movie with decent fight choreography.

>>63761511
all of them have been trying to replicate this KINO ever since it's release but all have failed: https://youtu.be/XzFhZ5hrTqY?t=34

>>63761375 (OP)
>Which movies/shows do it right and which ones have it done it the worse?
>because the director didnt care (this is often the default explanation)
>they have bigger things to worry about (you could use a CGI tiger tank in your WW2 movie, and it would look ugly as sin, or you can mock up a T-34 and let internet nerds seethe at the wrong number of wheels)
>actual movie making takes precedence over accuracy (movies are all about getting the perfect visual shot, and if that means going against reality for a moment, what does it matter?)
>its just not worth the effort (scenes are rarely filmed in a single long unbroken sequence, the oner is always a major setpiece for a reason, and will be re-ordered, cut, or edited, or even played backwards)
>the budget (sometimes you need to prioritize something over something else, and appeasing rivet counters is a low one)

>>63761511
the goons are too busy gooning to shoot accurately

>>63761529
batman had a vision of the future where darkseid took over the world with the help of superman
superman was able to be turned evil because lois lane dies, or something
batman is given a vision of this future by the flash, travelling back in time, to convince him to change it

it is really, really out of place and adds nothing to the story

>>63761375 (OP)
>Why do movies/shows get military gear/weapons so wrong?
cuz these are their gun "experts"; liberals & women

>>63761375 (OP)
>double flashlight helmet mount
>airshits/halloween prop quality vest
>everyone has rifles but two dudes have shotgun shells
>front two do not have iron sights or optics on their guns
Holy kek this is clown shit
Even if they had a nonexistent budget and had to source everything from airsoft retailers, they still could have made more realistic kit for less. Also, giving everyone two flashlights and handguns/holsters does not seem like a wise use of your limited film budget.
>>63761405
This is bogus and even if it were true, clearly filmmakers can get closer to real uniforms than that or at least use older uniforms and equipment.

>>63761477
The goons have some super shit aim there.

This isn't even like when they are all fighting some hero in the middle of them, its an entire mob of people and they are hitting the ground more than them

>>63761511
Because guns are OP and make literally every martial art useless. They empower even the most physically weak individual with lethal physical force. But guns are bad mm'kay and not heroic, so they cannot be portrayed in a useful or positive light so screenwriters must invent the most ridiculous and absurd choreography to disguise this fact.

>>63762176
Yes, they expected this age of hyper-wokism x culture wars ~30 years ago so they intentionally inserted inaccurate gunplay into media so that in the present, when some gun sperg goes
>akshully guns dun werk liek taht...
IRL he gets red flagged and made to TAKE MEDS.

>>63761477
>about 20-30 goons shoot their full auto rifles
>only 3-5 cops get shot. the rest of the bullets hit the ground in front of the cops and some fly all over the place
this is so bad

>>63761626
personally I think this one is because the turrets are so shitty in game

Because props are very expensive, so there's a strong preference to using generic props and hiring them from a prop store.
viewers rarely notice or care, I don't care. might notice momentarily and have a chuckle at the dress ups but it doesn't other me, they are the actors, we are the soldiers.

They make do with what the armorer has in stock.

>>63761477
After being memed on for so long and becoming a background presence of internet culture that never really left, it's easy to forget how DKR was so unintentionally goofy and stupid to the point a lot of us questioned if we actually saw what we did after first watching it

>>63761467
Axe bullshit aside, why did he even bother shooting the zombies? Could they really not have just bypassed them?

>>63763724
But if they had made the turret model show signs of decay from the decades of no maintenance it would be so much more believable.

I used to try to find zombie books with accurate gun writing but frankly its boring. The writers just shove in as much gun related trivia bullshit that it makes me go "just shut the fuck up and write a good character instead"
i listened to a book that mentioned a glock having a safety you could toggle and i was so glad the writer just didnt check instead of going into how the character chambered a round from the magazine into the receiver and the casing ejected when fired and the slide flew back and blah blah blah

>>63761375 (OP)
Big pet peeve of mine are ARs with no sights on them at all, just a completely flat top rail.
Then there's this from something I didn't watch and don't remember.

This is some Totally Spies shit, it has to be from a spoof movie or something

>>63761467
lmao

>>63762711
Anon can you post a higher res version of that pic pls ? I need to check something

does anyone have the walking dead exploding guns webm?

>>63761405
>Isn't there some rule about not using real uniforms?
This is a myth possibly invented by Hollywood wardrobe designer as an excuse. Kids larp with accurate gear in airsoft arena all the time, there's no reason bunch of actors can't wear accurate military gear inside a studio or a closed off filming location.

>>63761472
I thought it was that desert resident evil movie from the thumbnail.

>>63761375 (OP)
Rule of Cool not rule of function

>>63761477
For me it's the opening scene, all of that gunshot and no one spurts blood at all? It just so painfully fake. That 60's movie tier bullshit as even 80's action b-movies were filled with blood. Then you have the godawful final battle where no one use their guns. What was Nolan thinking? The noticeable quality drop from the dark knight to the dark knight rises is too jarring even to this day.

>>63762176
>This fat slam pig loser with zero real world experience trying to look like a stoic who simply got handed a job of armorer in a movie set because it's a she.

I should have got that job, and she should have been taking my dick balls deep instead of how her fate actually turned out.

>>63765167
But OP's pic didn't look cool, just ugly and outdated.

>>63764479
I forced myself to watch this movie until season 3 and it still hurts the cringe is too real

>>63765393
I watched the first episode and stopped when two old women were talking about how much they missed their dildos during a zombie apocalypse.

>>63762417
You forgot to mention everyone wearing their sidearms on their knees.

>>63765357
I didn’t mean what the audience thinks just whatever the director thinks is

>>63764504
Isn't that Prison Break?

>>63761621
What's this from? Beard dude on the left looks like he just came or farted, middle dude can't believe it and the woman inserting the mag backwards just proves things were better when young boys played women's roles.

What blew up this time?

>>63761610
65% more bullet, per bullet

>>63761375 (OP)
I am so autistic, I got bothered by the incorrect weapons used by the swat team in Mosul movie. IRL they only used american guns and equipment.
