Magnum "Farce"

[CDR]

OK.....I received a box set of Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry films for Christmas and was watching Magnum Force on Christmas Day.  I heard two lines that I am amazed got past final editing and thought you would enjoy.

The first is when the pathologist was examining one of the victims shot in a car and says, "Looks like he was shot with a Magnum."  Now how would one differentiate between a .38., .38+P or .357 magnum slug?  They're identical....all .357 caliber.

The second comes immediately after when the pathologist says........"He emptied an entire magazine into him.".........

Great stuff........and boy, do I want a 4" blued Python!!!

Those are two lines that goes to show how Movie writters get things wrong. It is like the line in Die Hard 2 about Glocks being made from porcelain and can go trough metal detectors!!

I am a Dirty Harry fan. I got the 1st one from x-mas from my Brother. Magnum Force is my favorite. Love it!!

Tissue damage and blood splatter patterns might be a clue!

Yeah, but if "he emptied an entire magazine into him" it might be hard to tell....no?
