It was a “low budget” production after all.
Doesn’t sound like a “prop”gun to me..
Alec was the producer so, a "Low Class" production also.
It was a “low budget” production after all.
Apparently $7 million doesn’t get you much these day. For $7 mill they should have been able to hire professionsal.
I am shocked that the prop guns are not controlled and store in gun prop cases until use, handed to the actor directly just before use and retrieved and put back into the gun prop case after the scene is completed. The idea that a prop gun can even fire a real bullet also blows my mine.
Lastly, seeing the picture of Alec afterwards in what is presumably his costume from the production, he does not look like an “old west outlaw from the 1880s.
It is also another hollywood movie appropriating 1880s Kansas by filming it in Santa Fe, New Mexico. If you are going to do a film about Kansas, shoot the damm thing in Kansas. Same goes for Maine! Don’t shoot you Maine set films in North Carolina.
Heh. “Low Budget” by the Kinks:
“Art takes time, time is money
Money’s scarce and that ain’t funny
Millionaires are things of the past
We’re in a low budget film where nothing can last
Money’s rare there’s none to be found
So don’t think I’m tight if I don’t buy a round...”
If only someone HAD NOT bought a “round”.
If I had borrowed a gun to go shoot for fun with my own ammo, in today’s market, I for sure would have made sure I didn’t leave any extra rounds laying around for the next guy.
