This is true but I wish they would’ve been a little more realistic as far as ammo. With seven or nowadays even ate his well and 230 rounds between the two
Part of the reasoning i use to not let this unlimited ammo thing ruin movies is to just accept that we are just watching the same shots from different angles .
@Image Of Time Photography those are models 1911 chambered in 45acp and if its a 1911 A1 than its 8 round mags, otherwise its 7 rounds per mag i believe
There are countless remakes that turn out to be nothing but poorer iterations of the source material. Not that The Last Man Standing is a bad film, but remaking a great film doesn't have any bearing on the quality of the remake. You don't have to look very far for examples.
Those are some serious hi-cap 1911's he's got and from the first guy he shot I'd say they fire something on the order of 20mm. Willis must be freaking jacked to handle the recoil.
Would have been a bit more realistic if he had some of the 15-round single stack 1911 magazines. I bought an old one in a gun store for my Springfield 1911A1 Mil-Spec and it functioned well with my 230 gr. FMJ and 230 LRN hand-loads, but I had occasional failures to feed with my 200 gr. LSWC and light 165 gr. Match SWC FMJ hand-loads.
This was such a glorious and overlooked movie. Simple yet thin plot with Bruce Willis running out of enemies he pumps full of lead and sends them flying like rag-dolls. Wish film makers would return to the eighties style action flicks
It's truly amazing how his two 7-shot Colt model 1911As are consistently able to fire more than 30 rounds each and every time he reloads them. Truly Amazing.
Walter Hill always had some great two gun scenes. Incredible shootouts in his movies. Last Man Standing, The Long Riders, Wild Bill. Pick one and blaze away. Great film here. Bruce Willis is an epic badass in this one.
+Matthew Caughey This is Murica! We don't use no sissy Slav or Kraut gun. Our M1911s support bottomless magazines and high-powered recoil-less rounds whether you like it or not! :^)
@Image Of Time Photography These are not Glocks or other Polymer wonders, they are 1911's. By 1932, in which year this movie was set, you could get them in .45 ACP and .38 Super. You can fit 7 or 8 .45 ACP into a magazine, or up to 10 .38 Super. So, with that in mind, you can only have between sixteen and twenty rounds between reloads.
One of the most underrated movies of all time. Any else know that this movie, and its two predecessors, are both based on the Dashiell Hammett novel Red Harvest? I highly recommend it, it's an excellent read.
While the body count resembled Red Harvest (Hammett also wrote a similar short story), the plot is of course taken more or less completely from Sergio Leone’s Fistful of Dollars. Leone was inspired by Akiro Kurosawa’s Yojimbo, and Kurosawa in turn claimed to have been influenced by Hammett’s novel The Glass Key (although, strangely, the plot of Red Harvest would be much more likely). So- lotsa borrowing going on.
@Joe Freeman I was wondering if ANYONE knew where the credit for the whole storyline actually belongs. Clint Eastwood and Sergio Leone were big Kurosawa fans. As you said, this movie and A Fistful of Dollars are both remakes of Yojimbo with lightning-fast pistols replacing Toshiro Mifune's lightning-fast sword.
Brucie just shoots the hell out of everyone in this movie. This movie is so much more than just gun play alone. There is an very original and entertaining story. This is one of my all time favorite movies.
@@PetersonZF Originality isn't always important in a story. Sometimes a cool throwback is just what is needed to get an audience excited. Just as long as everything and everyone in the movie does it justice.
@@PetersonZF You got me there. Glad to see you're paying attention. For the record I have see both of those movies. They are good, but this is a more version of those types of films.
Something about the way in wich actors flinch while shooting guns in closed spaces together with fast gunshot sounds makes this kind of scene so addictive to me, The Foreigner's apartment shootout scene is the most recent example, I actually loved it. Judging by the trailers we are going to see some of this in Bruce Willis "Death Wish" remake so I am really waiting for it, hopefully it's good enough to make Willis perform in better movies in the future.
Freaking awesome modern western, even thou it's not very accurate about the 1920-something clips. So badass with the action/shooty scenes and the one-liners like eg. 0:34 "Tell Mr. Doyle if he had hired smarter guys, none of this would have happend"
Story time. I had seen the movie Boondock Saints and decided I wanted to buy a Beretta M9. Had it all planned out to go to the gun store and pick one up when I got home. While I was at work, I saw this movie and decided then and there that I was actually going to get a 1911. Got home and picked up one from Springfield Armory. Best gun decision I ever made. That was almost 10 years ago and I still use my 1911 as a daily carry, all thanks to this movie. kinda bummed it only holds 8 rounds tho
It would have been more realistic if he had a bunch of 15-round extended 1911 magazines, of which mine cycled decently with FMJ’s but had issues with my LSWC hand-loads.
Yep he reloads multiple times in the clip. He never runs out of mags though, and can reload both guns simultaneously just by ejecting the previous mags. This is because Bruce Willis is a high level GunWizard(TM)
"Last Man Standing", previously filmed as "A Fistful of Dollars" which in turn was previously filmed as "Yojimbo". You'd think they'd have done something original by the third time.
each one is original at least in setting, but the story is hard to change becasue the whole point is a hired sword/gun playing off both sides and the consequences of that.
Peter Lovett Actually they are all based on the Dashiell Hammett novel, Red Harvest. This is the first one that has the time period right. Just the wrong setting.
This is what I imagine the wild west to be in a way set in those days but just not with colts and revolvers but with 1911s and 9mm Berettas 92s and 380s for small pistol back up dam that's a gun lovers Western dream of thought but still love brother Bruce make them 45s play a sweet sweet sweet tune well peace everybody😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
