The engineer in the novel was _way_ more careful - not only did _not_ try to blackmail him, he put measures in place to expose the Jackal, if he died. Which the Jackal knew, and left him be.

[@justinbergmans36]

The Hollywood version is nothing like the book or the classic movie. I will say, though, that I don’t believe Bruce Willis was trying to blow off his arm.

[@timcosgrove707]

Yeah but he had a scene sort of like this with the fake ID guy who tried to extort him.

[@dicarpio2177]

They switch the engineer and the counterfeiter in this film. Jack black gets killed because he tries to get more money out of the jackal, it’s the other way round in the original/novel

[@DanakarEndeel]

@@justinbergmans36 Well, the crosshairs were aimed at his hand and not the cigarette pack. However, The Jackal did specify that he wanted the frame made out of titanium (if I remember correctly) and Black just gave him one out of steel with some non-apology about the guy not having titanium. So that's probably why he got on his bad side as he should have either solved the problem by contacting him about the problem regarding the lack of material and if steel would be an option. It's been a while since I watched this movie but I believe The Jackal even stated that the gun was 'off' during the melon scene; because the mounting stand was made of inferior material.

[@Sidragrosm]

As regarding Jack Black..? The guy DID try to squeeze more money out of him - and The Jackal's not someone you break a deal with. He dealt PLENTY fairly with both his contact for his passports, and other ID issues, just as he did with that bank executive when purchasing the weapon system. All in all..? The Jackal was properly ethical in his dealings. Murderous as fuck..? yes. (And THEN some!) But he was ('scuse the pun i.e. this scene here) a straight shooter. Or as Declan put it, he's thrived for decades in a business that DOES NOT forgive mistakes.

[@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg]

If you watch almost any action movie with a decent budget from the 80s-90s (even ones that got bad reviews at the time) they invariably look a million times better than 95% of what's produced today. Digital effects have become a crutch for the movie industry and the quality of movies in general have suffered tremendously for it.

[@stolenname94]

@@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg Exactly!!! The creativity has suffered as well and it seems like films are crammed together these days to make a quick buck. There is some good cgi for sure, but they are flexing an ability to produce something on a computer. Take terminator 2 for example, the effects were about 99% practical and all terminators were made from scratch. Its quiet scary really because they seemed so real when I watched it as a kid and still looks real now. I kinda liked the rev 9 in dark fate (dw trash film I'm definitely and I quote not saying it was good) the cgi was actually pretty good and he was pretty scary but doesn't come close to that t1000 from t2.

[@TheRedStarman]

I watched this movie on TV when I was like 10, and this scene and the scene where the gun is being pointed at someone from a tower stuck with me. For years I wanted to see this movie, but the image of Jack Black doing a movie where he was being brutally killed never seemed possible. It wasn't until a few years ago that I decided to look up 'Jack Black killed by machine gun' somewhere that this came up, and my curiosity was satiated. I still haven't watched the movie though.

[@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg]

It's actually a really good movie. It's based on a Frederick Forsyth book, 'Day of The Jackal' which was far more suspenseful than the film, but it still very solid entertainment. It got horrible reviews at the time, but I think it definitely aged well and is at least superior to most of what passes for action movies today.

Not that I object to wasting Lamont, but all he built was a motorized tripod. The optics of the gun sight not aligning with barrel or the target have nothing to do with the motorized tripod. Lamont never even knew what was going to be mounted on it until he got there. Anyone who uses a scope would know this & how to correctly "sight-in" their weapon. It's real simple, test fire the rifle, then align the scope or sights with where bullet hits. If you want to program the computer to auto-aim, it needs at least one additional shot & sighting entered at a different distance in order to calculate the change in target distance to match the change in sighting points. It's not rocket science. Al the tripod has to do is remain stable when shooting the gun. The ground that the tripod here is sitting on would be less stable than the tripod itself, unless it was staked into the ground itself. Am I over-analyzing this? Lol!

People, go watch the original, way far superior version of this movie, the Day of the Jackal.

[@citetez]

Absolutely. The original Jackal was very cool, very elegant, very dangerous - with none of the clownishness.

[@thefantasyreview8709]

Oh yep. The original is one of the best assassin type movies ever made.

[@RyuYuzu]

Agreed but kids nowadays would find the original boring and slow. These days they want John Wick type films. Heck my favorite film is Where Eagles Dare and fav scene was when Clint was waiting on the above the stair way. No spoilers for those who have not seen it. ; )

[@edpolk1262]

Yes. Edward Fox was superior in this role. This remark was trash in comparison.

[@motzkopf9364]

He didn´t want to hurt him. It was the gun that was off :D

[@sychkid]

Would the Jackal still have killed Lamont if the targeting system wasn't off?

[@richardworth6922]

Absolutely. Lamont was too unpredictable. The contact who made the Jackals fake passports not only lived but was given a tip. Lamont threatened to blackmail the Jackal in order to get more money for the blueprints. The moment he did that he was a dead man

[@mresturk9336]

If you look at the final targeting (1:53) the Jackal was aiming square at Lamont's index figer. Even if the targeting was accurate it still would have blasted a big chunk of Lamont's hand off. So I'm going to say yes.

[@RyuYuzu]

Yes as this is a anti-air-ground cannon their not that accurate or made for pinpoint shooting as in the film.

Best Jack Black scene

Mike Ditka learning a new coaching technique.

That's the QB drill. Dodge or practice squad.

I am going to tell my children that this is the Minecraft movie. My children are extremely foolish, they will believe me.

[@Art_Martial]

Never mind the high powered gun....check out that high powered hair....

[@rebeccamae8612]

I saw this when I was 8 and it messed me up. After 15 years an Army nurse, it's not nearly as bad as what reality was.

[@peterlovett5841]

I really don't know what everyone associated with this film were thinking when they thought they could remake 'Day Of The Jackal'. Totally wasted effort.

[@diogeneskoolaid8437]

if they did it today the lead would be Brie Larson and she would somehow be the "good guy" (oh sorry good birthing person) and her target would be some toxic huwhyte male and/or climate change. yeay sjw's!
