Why did he pull the trigger?
Even if he thought the gun wasn't real. Why point it at someone and pull the trigger?
shareHe was just making sure ^^

Because it was a rehearsal and when the cameras would be rolling he'd also be pulling the trigger. When the 1st AD hands you a cold gun you treat it as if you were shooting the film, thus you go thru the real motions.
shareWhen the 1st AD [or anyone else] hands you a [supposedly] cold gun [or any gun in any purported condition of readiness] you [always] treat it as if [it were a loaded gun].
Fixed.
1. All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.share
2. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy. (For those who insist that this particular gun is unloaded, see Rule 1.)
3. Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target. This is the Golden Rule. Its violation is directly responsible for about 60 percent of inadvertent discharges.
4. Identify your target, and what is behind it. Never shoot at anything that you have not positively identified.
This applies to real life not a movie set...smh
share"This applies to real life not a movie set"
A movie set is real life, obviously. Where do you think movie sets are located, in a computer simulated world? Also, in rule number 1, which part of the word "all" is confusing you? Do you see any exceptions there for movie sets? Does the word "all" even allow for exceptions of any kind in your estimation?
Also, since you think that people on movie sets inexplicably and arbitrarily get an exemption from the rules of gun safety, this is a safety bulletin from CSATF which specifically pertains to the movie industry:
INDUSTRY WIDE LABOR-MANAGEMENT SAFETY COMMITTEE
SAFETY BULLETIN #1
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SAFETY WITH FIREARMS AND USE OF
"BLANK AMMUNITION"
BLANKS CAN KILL. TREAT ALL FIREARMS AS THOUGH THEY ARE LOADED.
"LIVE AMMUNITION" IS NEVER TO BE USED NOR BROUGHT ONTO ANY STUDIO
LOT OR STAGE.

Comical Irony Alert share
Because he just really wanted to murder that woman.
shareA bigger question is: why was the safety off? Or why was the gun cooked?
Old west day guns don't have a safety.
share"day guns"?
Anyway! Don't Colt 45s have to be cocked before they'll fire? I believe that's the trigger-like thing at the top, where it can be reached with the thumb or smacked into position with the other hand. So that's my big question, who cocked the gun?

Old western time guns don't have safeties,
shareBut they do have to be cocked before they'll fire.
Who cocked the Colt 45?
Gawd, that sounds like a gay porno...
I quick drawing the gun you have your finger on the trigger and cock the gun with your thumb as you bring it out of the holster. Pull the trigger after all that when you have it pointed at the lady.
shareGood photo of a nicely use-worn revolver. Too bad some oaf butchered the screw slots.
shareBecause he's a dumbfuck, and deserves to be in prison.
