Doom was probably his third or fourth "big budget" action movie at that point so he probably realized it was something he was going to have to come to terms with if he wanted to be an action movie superstar. By the time he did Doom he had done The Scorpion King, The Rundown and Walking Tall (his big action roles) and a bunch of other non action stuff and I don't think he used a lot of guns at that point in his films.

Fizzzzle Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 In the Rundown, his character has a "no guns" running gag throughout the movie. It's actually a pretty damn entertaining movie, by the way, if you've never seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Yeah in the Rundown he has a no guns rule and does a lot of “disarming and dismantling” of them. But in the last scene he’s forced to use them to save Stiffler. Complete with dual wielding shotguns which he flips and pumps under his armpits before flipping make and wiping out some more fools. He goes full Rambo at the end lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 The thickening plot thickens further. Hannah Gutierrez Reed wasn’t the only weapons expert working on 'Rust.' Who was the ‘armorer mentor’? WWW.LATIMES.COM Questions linger about the handling of guns on the "Rust" set. Prop weapon supplier Seth Kenney was attached to the production.

The law suits from other crew are starting to stream in “The armorer’s lawyer has been floating a “sabotage” theory in the media to explain the tragedy that took DoP Hutchins’ life. That theory hangs on the premise that something was underhanded because mere hours before the killing of Hutchins, several members of that team resigned from the $7 million Western, citing safety and financial reasons.” That seems like a ludicrous stretch. What even is the benefit? People are walking off because it’s cheap and unsafe so you murder the DoP and… people come back to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Is he saying he didn’t pull the trigger before the time he pulled the trigger that led to her death, or that it was someone else who pulled the trigger that led to her death?

He is claiming the gun went off without the trigger being pulled. Which is possible, but less likely than he pulled the trigger...and neither scenario is provable.

I believe the guns used on this set were .45 Long Colts? I could be wrong. It happened when bolting shells into the chamber both times. Something must have jarred the firing pin. Once was outdoors when getting ready to shoot, but the other time was in the house and I was standing right next to it. Put a hole in the ceiling. These things can always happen. They're rare, but it's possible. That's why you practice proper gun safety and always have it aimed away from a person. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would take one second of looking at the gun to figure out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
