Why The Fall Guy Doesn’t Rely on Guns: ‘Indiana Jones Didn’t’

  1. It’s funny cuz the most iconic scene in any Indiana Jones movie is the part where HF shoots a guy who wants to fight with a sword

  3. But there were many guns used in The Fall Guy during the action scenes…

  4. I hope all the guns are replaced with walkie talkies and all the bad guys are replaced with Ewoks.

  5. Not that it’s the same type of movie, but Clive Owen never even touches a gun in Children of Men

  7. Sort of like Batman and guns. He hate guns, but only because his parents were killed by a guy with one.

  8. Yeah cuz they had people getting run over by tanks and chopped up in propeller blades?!

  10. One of my favorite scenes in an Indiana Jones movie is when Indy shoots the guy doing all the fancy sword stuff.

  11. Just to say I just got back from this film and loved it. It was really good fun and paid a lot of love to proper stunt work with some fantastic stunt scenes. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

  12. I can see why, as it is hard to write action scenes with guns without suspension of reality.

    I love Warrior, but so many scenes were kind of silly where 20-guys with guns would run up to Ah Sahm and fist fight him (despite holding a rifle) or would not fire at him unless they were 1-foot away allowing him plenty of space to counter it.

    The gunmen were almost always put into a weaker position so the unarmed protagonist could compete.

  13. Didn’t he shoot the Arab? Didn’t the Nazis have all sorts of guns?

  14. Uh what? There’s tons of guns in the Indiana Jones franchise. He’s constantly getting shot at.

  16. It doesn’t RELY on guns but there’s a shit ton of guns in Indy lol

  17. Idk why he would say this when there are quite a few guns in his movie

  18. A lot of dummies missing the point here. Your hero winning with guns is objectively promoting gun violence at the LEAST, and at the most, is fuckin lazy. I’m not saying there shouldn’t ever be guns in movies, but being a bit more thoughtful with it would be a very welcomed change for me.

    I would liken it to cigarettes, we have seen a massive decrease in the use of smoking in movies especially where it relates to heroes and that’s a good thing. There are even warnings saying that movies have smoking.

    This is good. And if you are going to use guns, it should be very considered. ESPECIALLY in American cinema where y’all have a seriously impossible to ignore gun issue.

  19. I’m tired of gun centric movies anyways. 40 yrs of them has made me tired. The noise, the lack of reality and the predictability. I actually avoid them now.

  21. This was in my feed just before a post about Boris Johnson and they have the same hair.
