I wonder if he likes Scarface for the product Tony Montana deals in as well as the M16A1 with grenade launcher that he shoots.

[@Scorpiusza]

100% me too.. literally crying.. those Arnie scenes.. he seems like massive movie buff, love it!

[@jayzenitram9621]

I'm very impressed with Taran's hyper accurate recall of movie lines. You can tell he's a movie buff.

[@archeverything]

James: “Let’s start with number 5.” Taran: “Well I probably brought 10 out here.” Everybody watching: *A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!*

[@ericsteel173]

I only brought 10 of my top five favorites.

[@TheMediatorOfChaos]

Glad he articulated the biggest issue with action movies in the 2000's, that close up shakey cam shit was so annoying and one of the reasons I loved John Wick so much

[@Barbaroossa]

And this is also one thing that the movies with Tony Jaa from Thailand (Ong Bak) and actors from Indonesia such as Iko Uwais, Joe Taslim and Yayan Ruhian (from Raid, Raid 2 and The Night Comes for Us) have surpassed to a great degree, the camerawork enhances the action (instead of hiding it) and all the actors are experienced martial artists, they know what they're doing and so does the director.

Jackie Chan called it out for decades. He said it was a sure sign the actors couldn't fight, and the producers were too cheap to hire stunt men.

[@BACCHUS777]

Big support for a 1-2 hour video of Taran rambling about movie guns here. Maybe only James in short shorts though.

I can’t tell if Taran is a pro shooter or a pro bowler...

[@berryreading4809]

Watch him run through a 3 gun match and you'll know pretty quick. Remember when he mentioned beating Eric Horner? Look him up too, Looks can be deceiving! 😯 Russell Phagen is another big dude that crushes more athletic looking people at matches, weighs100lbs more than I do at the same height and has a bad knee but could still probably beat my ass on an obstacle course, and definitely at any run and gun match 💪

The fact that he DIDN'T narrow it down to 5 guns was actually an absolute treat, thanks James.

For me, that was the best interview I have seen on TFB. Taran is a matter of fact, tell the story directly kind of guy. Good job James and TFB.

Can we get the extended cut of this and just let Taran talk about all the movies and guns he likes?

[@davek6089]

I need an hour of this, not just 15 minutes, so many hidden gems of movie trivia

[@carlredbird3054]

Apparently when clint threw the 44 on the ground he was supposed to hit cushion to brake the fall but he was focused on acting while filming the scene and missed throwing it onto the concrete, so the scowl on his face and the sound of the clattering metal happened in the moment because he scuffed one of the three revolvers available for the film

[@rootjr.3658]

I'm not usually a big fan of Taran Butler, but you should have just let him run with this one. I could have listened to at least another hour of Taran geek out on movie guns! Well done!

In Predator the lower is a slab side Colt SP1. In Scarface it is a fenced M16 lower. The uppers may be the same but the lowers are not.

James, this was an absolutely fantastic show. Thank you! Thank you Taran for the trip down memory lane 👍

The .41 Mag was supposedly used in early scenes till they got a .44. Even funny is the way they used both 6.5" and 8 3/8" version in different scenes for "Dramatic effect", gotta love Hollyweird. lol

[@neiljvoice1603]

Really great video! The reason I became interested in firearms was because of Harrys Model 29.Great to see it as Tarans favourite. He has a great taste in films. Im a big fan of Michael Manns films and Thief is a masterpiece ,that Hoag 45 longslide Gold Cup was a beauty!

[@jshooter888]

That was awesome. Best TFB video so far. Really good stuff and fun watching.

[@doublep1980]

What makes the John Wick franchise stand out, in terms of how the actors are trained both with firearms & in hand-to-hand combat and how the action is shot/edited/choreographed, is the fact that the 2 guys behind these movies, C.Stahelski/ D.Leitch, are former stunt coordinators/martial artists. They know how a fight scene or shootout should look on screen, so that's exciting for the viewers. Most movie directors are clueless about these things.

[@helifanodobezanozi7689]

To be fair to the hand to hand fights in the Bourne series, the issue with the fights (shakey cam) was more of an issue with the director not knowing how to block and shoot a fight scene. The fight choreographer on Bourne, Jeff Imada, was not only a film industry mentor to Chad (John Wick's director) but they both also trained under the same primary martial arts instructor, Dan Inosanto, with Jeff being the more senior student. The techniques in the two series are all drawn from the same source, Inosanto's broad curriculum, with Bourne favoring more Filipino Martial Arts (Kali) and John Wick being more geared towards grappling (Judo, BJJ, Shoot Wrestling.)

[@rdhumphrey]

I would agree that all of these were iconic movie firearms. They left out James Bond though... Walther PPK, Beretta 418, Golden Gun? I mean so many to choose from. That’s what shaped my collection.

[@aaronsue2133]

One of the best tfb I've ever seen thanks

I keep looking at that poster of Bond in the middle, the PPK is pretty iconic for me.

[@0228mustang]

Wow, what an entertaining guy Taran is... great video James!

[@DavidBrown-uc4yv]

Phenomenal podcast. Steve, you ought to do more like this. It’s no secret most pre-gamer gun guys became gun guys from guns in cinema. Want to impress a buddy at the range or when you open your gun safe, pull out a movie clone. The “must haves” FAL, G3, Colt Commando became obsessions after Heat, the stainless folder Mini-14 after the A-Team, the Python after The Getaway and Magnum Force. Guns and cinema and a tier one guest make a great podcast.

[@azisandwich]

When can I expect to see the Elysium AK?

[@DS..69]

Man, great video. Very insightful into the weapon aspect of the movie industry. Spot on about Dirty Harrys 44mag being the best. That McQueen movie looked sick. I've always thought Bullet was his best. Who knew about the other Heat movie? Wow. The LA bank shoot out before the real one in 97'. Need more vids like this James. Good work.

[@perdix99]

A great presentation. Clearly both enthusiasts and I love the attention to detail. As a film/tv armourer with 30 years experience, I can tell you that sadly, we don't have 'command imperative' over authenticity. We don't edit the pictures either. If the director or these days even the 'A' list star wants "The big shiny gun", that's what he/she gets. I have one director who deliberately edits his pictures with an excessive number of shots coming from the weapon. It's his signature. I, too, suspect my best technical work has ended up on the cutting room floor. Rule one; everyone goes home unhurt. Rule two; everyone goes home happy. If in doubt consult rule one. Lastly, as one 1st AD said to me when I was getting stressed about the realism on a certain drama: "I know it's bollocks, but then again there's no such thing as dragons - try telling that to HBO. "
