@@czwarlord9243 More like disgusted. This guy is a poor representation of the 2A community. I absolutely loathe seeing him _anywhere_ within the community. To each their own I suppose. Stay classy my friends.
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 💪
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
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.
That was awesome a cool insight into movie guns! Also happy yet another person of influence agreed BOTH Die Hard and Lethal Weapon were Christmas flicks lol...
Probably my favorite video from all of GunTube in a very long time. The mash-up between movie and TV nerd-dom and firearms is just endlessly watchable. Thank you TFB.
The moment Taran talked about Magnum PI and the Ivan guy the literal first thought that came to my mind was "Did you watch Regis this morning?" followed by "OH BOYAKASHA! RIGHT IN THE FACE!"
I’ll be damned!!! Tartan talking without a half naked Russian flipping around him!?? Yeah I prefer this over that haha this was awesome!!! My ONLY complaint is it’s only 25 mins Lol we need more Taran being himself PLEASE.
You need to make any movie top 5 lists you should partner with this guy. He is a wealth of knowledge and your chemistry is of the scale. Great to watch
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
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.
Awesome video!!!!!! I would watch this even if it was 2 hrs long. Need to do part 2 and 3. I'm a gun guy but I was a movie guy first too....you made my day!!!!
SO MANY great movie memories. Thanks! I was looking for that 45shot from Magnum PI - my wife said she never saw that episode- just fantastic to share this.
The m41a pulse rifle and smart gun or the lesser known Chinese M1L1 triple pulse assault rifle from Deep Rising are my faves but this seems to be a video about movie hand guns.
@@SolidMikeP - Check your ammo. I have 4 and none have jammed except with some steel case ammo my dad had bought to break in his Kimber. (it hated it too.) But anything I've loaded gets eaten by my my USPs without fail. They are a great overall pistol and my USPC 45 is more accurate than the Kimber Custom II 1911 that I have.
Did you see the sunrise, not just the best episode of Magnum P. I. But one of the best episodes of any Network TV shows ever. First episode of the show I saw.just two months after that I went in the Navy, where they issued me the same US Navy swim shorts as Magnum.
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
You can't convince me that Taran wasn't trolling in this interview. "Hey Taran, top 5 movie guns, what are they?" "Well James you asked for 5, but really there's only 2. Magnum Chambered revolver or 1911" Love that man
1:15 I can relate to this statement.... The first transformer movies were so shaky I didn't like transformers... But later... Movies they fixed that... And now its one of my favorites.
It’s great seeing James nerd-out with guests. He’s enjoying his time with Taran so much that every so often he behaves like a dork... like I am most of the time. Nice to see beneath the cracks in the marble
Because he and that female employee had a fling? I mean, I know she later turned that into "But I didn't wanna." or are you talking about something else
James I am glad you shed some light on the whole “precious” situation with Taran. Kinda thought he was a bad guy when I first heard about it but when you said they were actually like dating that cleared it up. Taran: not a bad guy👍🏼
... the movie that influenced me into guns was "Serpico", when Serpico goes into the gun shop and asked for a gun "with a lot of bullets" and the shop owner hands him a Browning Hi-Power, the shop owner tells Frank that it holds thirteen rounds in the mag, I turned to my Dad and asked him if they really make guns like that, my Dad said yes - and a few years later the first handgun I bought for myself was a 9mm Browning Hi-Power, all because of the movie "Serpico" ...
it is so fucking trippy hearing Taran talk about people i know hahaha. i was just in the right place at the right time to meet a lot of these guys way before john wick made them all famous. small world! makes me regret getting out of competitive shooting, but holy shit it was way too expensive and its even more expensive now
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.)
I didnt recognize him without his entourage of scantily dressed woman

Literally crying listening to Taran paraphrase entire films at 1000 miles an hour
I wonder if he likes Scarface for the product Tony Montana deals in as well as the M16A1 with grenade launcher that he shoots.
100% me too.. literally crying.. those Arnie scenes.. he seems like massive movie buff, love it!
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!*
I can’t tell if Taran is a pro shooter or a pro bowler...

@@BruceLortzHI Oh you're "that guy." Let me introduce you to a new concept that's sweeping the internet: fiction.
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.

Holy shit. Cutlerylover in the wild on a non-knife vid.
@@TheSmackfan101 lol I actually rarely watch knife videos...
Big support for a 1-2 hour video of Taran rambling about movie guns here. Maybe only James in short shorts though.
James is handed Dirty Harry's 44.
James: Where's the Scandium?
#5 Colt Python (6") - Starsky & Hutch
#4 1911 - Thief
#3 M16A1 w/ M23 grenade launcher - Scarface/Predator
#2 Combat Master 2011 - John Wick 3
#1 S&W Model 29 - Dirty Harry
Ruger standard- greedo.
Great list
Magnum Force, a bunch of Colt Pythons
Dirty Harry Sudden Impact .44 Automag
Death Wish 3 Paul Kersey .475 Wildey Magnum
Thanks for the recap. I'm old and have a serious short-term memory condition.
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?
Was waiting for the "gun of Rambo", or at least robocops 3 round burst dick killer. Maybe we'll get a part 2 someday
Man I could listen to Taran's gun stories all day...
WE NEED MORE of Taran and the movies. Could watch it for hours.
I need an hour of this, not just 15 minutes, so many hidden gems of movie trivia
I loved him rambling about old action flicks. Like a small film history lesson but only the cool parts 😂
You could say Taran grooms shooters to be the best they can be.
And is super creepy to his gun bunnies
James's jawline is sharper than John Wicks accuracy
You should see his bulge...

S mart top of the line. It can be found in the sporting good section. It retails for about 199.95.
Shop smart....shop S Mart!
Well hello mr fancy pants
Steve McQueen 6:28 right hand pistol, left eye dominant.
If I remember correctly, Steve McQueen is left handed
He was and I shoot left eye, righthand.
Taran’s voice overs with the added movie scenes was outstanding! 🤜🏼🤛🏼
When can I expect to see the Elysium AK?
I love that Taran had movie clips of his mom in video. A true beauty and probably instilled in him his love for movies.
Probably my favorite video from all of GunTube in a very long time. The mash-up between movie and TV nerd-dom and firearms is just endlessly watchable. Thank you TFB.
The editing on this video was absolutely top tier production. it was extremely enjoyable to watch. love your content!
Thumbs up based on Magnum PI alone 👍🏻
That scene did blow me away. Good guys don't shoot unarmed bad guys.
The scene he singled out was one of the most memorable (to me) tv series scenes ever. Magnum was one of my favorite shows.
I know i's not he same but I see Raylan Givens able to do it too.
OMG, that was the best episode of magnum PI ever produced!
I’m 53 and I still remember coming up out of my seat pointing at the tv shouting “YES!”
100%
Still my favorite scene. Ever.
Me, too, brother (and I'm 64).
My whole family jumped up off the couch at that scene ! To quote my Mom "it's about damn time"
I was shouting kill the SOB and it is a great scene for 80s TV. Can't believe the b!tch censors let it stay in the episode.
The moment Taran talked about Magnum PI and the Ivan guy the literal first thought that came to my mind was "Did you watch Regis this morning?" followed by "OH BOYAKASHA! RIGHT IN THE FACE!"
"Did you watch the sun rise this morning" :)
Magnum PU, wait........Casa Blumpkin
"First... Boop. & then... Zing!
Like an SSP Racer.
Good times."
The directors cut of Miami Vice is the best to watch and most satisfying. And part of that 5 million dollar boat scene is still included lol
I’ll be damned!!! Tartan talking without a half naked Russian flipping around him!?? Yeah I prefer this over that haha this was awesome!!! My ONLY complaint is it’s only 25 mins Lol we need more Taran being himself PLEASE.
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.
That was awesome. Best TFB video so far. Really good stuff and fun watching.
You need to make any movie top 5 lists you should partner with this guy. He is a wealth of knowledge and your chemistry is of the scale. Great to watch
What a great video, James. Not guns, but guys about guns. More like this.
The way Taran talks about those guns, thats true love.
I would like to see another video where Mr. Taran speaks only in his Ahnold voice.
Props to whoever edited this and matched up Arnold's lips with Taran's voice. It was perfect.
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

I love these types of interviews just like the ones with Clint Smith. Thank you James aka short shorts. You're the man with the plan.
Things you may not know about Taran: He's kind of a creep.
Best TFB video i’ve ever seen. AWESOME. The chemistry was excellent.👍
That was brilliant, keeping him talking was a great way to get the information out of him
Featuring Taran Butler....no thanks. Wouldnt trust him with my mother, wife or daughter.
That undisclosed location looks a whole lot like the Surefire vault 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Close, but not in the same state as the Surefire vault. Great guess.
Is it in a well with a basket of lotion and a small poodle?

Can’t forget the 4 inch model 29 in Payback. “Nice roscoe, Porter. Heavy enough to be a nut-cracker.”

Another action classic that is a Christmas movie is First Blood. Look around the town and police station and you see Christmas decorations everywhere.
