World War Z - Now they don't have any guns to shoot the zombies!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15269303 Nearly 100 guns which were to be used in Brad Pitt's World War Z film have been confiscated because they had not been properly deactivated.

Sounds like someone forgot to grease the right palms in Hungarian Customs!

LMAO! Apparently they're rewriting the script so instead of shooting them, now you just have to shout loud enough at 'em and the zombies will die...

They may as well use Nerf guns for the Battle of Yonkers scene Though seriously, Hungary needs to lighten up. When someone declares 100 guns with your customs officials, it doesn't take an expert in criminal justice to figure out they probably aren't nefarious arms dealers or terrorists. That, and given how poorly the Euro, and the EU in general are doing, if the Hungarians were smart they simply would have said "Oh, these guns don't meet our guidelines for deactivated weapons. That'll be XXX.XX$ per weapon in fines, paid in dollars please. Antagonizing the architects of a big-budget production isn't terribly smart. After all, Pitt could always pull a Romero on them and relocate the shoot to somewhere that'll appreciate the opportunity to shamelessly fleece his production in time-honored fashion. To summarize in l33t-speak: Epic Fail Hungary

Isn't this how Barndon Lee died? Who trusts these mooks to turn normal weapons into props?

Based on what I have seen in the movies 99% of the actors are NEVER given any fiirearm safety training. You can tell right away if you see some moron running around with his or her finger on the trigger during every scene. This is a #1 no-no real gun or not. Sweeping or intentionally pointing the muzzle at others is another big safety violation. Add that with a finger on the trigger and just guess what could happen. Even with blanks the muzzle blast and wadding matterial in the front of the cartridge has sufficient energy to cause injury or death. One of the most famous incidents from the 80s was John Eric Hexum who obviously wasn't given any safety instruction on the set of the his t.v. show and was fooling around with a gun. He thought it would be funny to play russian roulette with blanks and it resulted a chunk of his skull driven though his brain and death 6 days later. The hungarians were right to raid the warehouse. Just the fact that there was live ammuntion present calls into question exactly what kind of movie firearms company is being employed. People don't realize how much damage a bullet can do to a human body until they see it in person. It isn't like the movies or video games where after someone gets shot it can be healed by a band aid or they respawn after dying.

I'd have to agree with Sammich. If you're playing around with guns, do your fucking homework or loose your license. Guns aren't toys. Especially not hundreds of them.

Have to say, as sad as that is, it's surely Darwin at work to some degree!

Especially not hundreds of them. yeah this. if even 2 or 3 when off in a scene like yonkers you could see a new record for dead people in one film accident. jesus...

Guns? We don't need no stinkin' guns! Just CGI them in, the masses won't tell the difference! At this point I doubt it could make this mock-WWZ any worse. j.p.

[blind2d]

As much as I hate to say it... do I? Whatever, but yes, guns are the opposite of toys. But we've had toy guns for decades... *ponders this* Anyway, yeah, as long as it's better than the second RE movie, I'll be happy.

LMAO! Apparently they're rewriting the script so instead of shooting them, now you just have to shout loud enough at 'em and the zombies will die... My guess is that they'll use bad acting to stop the zombies. Bad acting can kill anything and everything, even undead.

[Mike70]

LMAO! Apparently they're rewriting the script so instead of shooting them, now you just have to shout loud enough at 'em and the zombies will die... the newly discovered technique of harsh language and insulting the questionable parentage of the zombies will stop them in their tracks. next up: a new TV show which features zombies in group therapy over their treatment.

[blind2d]

So no thoughts on toy guns? None? Do I have to mention ponies in every post now, or is just everyone going to ignore me no matter what I do? PS: I f*cking hate French right now.
