First one of my fav episodes. Especially the ending with Crockett and Tubbs in silhouette. Second is this the original video or remastered because it looks very clear for video of that time. Despite that love it!!!!! Miss that show.
My guess is that it's a small town, and all of his business is with people he knows. Back in the day, you knew your customers, what they shot, how much, what size round, drums or box magazine, etc. That's the vibe I'm getting.
There is a posting on YT from the armorer for this movie. It is very very good. He talks about just every gun you see in the movie with many historical tidbits. He also explains how dedicated Kevin Costner was to realism and historical accuracy. Also addresses the difficulty in procurring and replicating some of the weapons used in this great movie.
When I was a kid in the early 60's I walked right through the commercial district of the small town I lived in to go rabbit hunting in the woods outside of town. Nobody batted an eye. Today I would be surrounded by a SWAT team.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy. I find another show with Woody Harrelson. It's like Christmas again. Hope it is half as good as True Detective (season 1 strictly).
"No sir I don't mind at all." *side eye* I ain't gonna tell you, but I don't mind you asking. Let's conclude our transaction and make you and your boy very wealthy individuals then go about our own business.
“which one?” “all of them” “ok, just need you to fill out all these forms and we’ll call you when the 30 day waiting period is over. plus you owe $200 stamps on about a dozen of these. “
The .30-30 Winchester rifle was actually Kevin Costners personal gun. Also the 03 Springfield with the optic was borrowed from either a friend or from one of the actual employee's of the prop gun place i cant remember. But apparently they had to be very careful with it since it was a loaner Edit: Youll notice its not in the arms of the gun store merchant with all the others as he carries the guns to Franks car. They didnt want to nick or scratch it.
Sonny knew that Evan was a bigot, which led to the outing and suicide of a colleague who was gay. Apparently, Evan was tormented by that and showed his unraveling behavior. A powerful scene between Don Johnson and William Russ.
In the german sync is a major mistake. He said "colt automatic pistol" but in german translated as "Colt Maschinenpistole" (machine pistol). He mentioned the Colt 1911 pistol.
This movie is ok & a bit more accurate but the OG Bonnie and Clyde movie from 1967is a untouchable timeless masterpiece ❤ This is coming from someone that is only 25 years old too!!!! 😂
@@winternow2242 Frank Hammer is better in The Highway men & it's a bit more realistic considering Clyde never got out of the car but nothing has to be 100% accurate in a film because its impossible anyway!!!! But Bonnie & Clyde is still a masterpiece of film making & still is perfect today regardless of what they changed in that film , it's a perfect movie, this movie isn't!!!!! If they really wanted to make Highway men as realistic as possible all they literally had to do was read the book Public Enemies considering it's the most honest & historical writing of all the depression era bank robbers!!!! The author did more homework in order to write that book than anyone else ever did so that book is basically the bible on this subject!!!!
The Guns are top notch. Very well researched. Imagine walking into a gun store now and getting a Colt Monitor off the rack 😂 that thing will stop anything dead in its tracks and then some.
Bonnie and Clyde was in the depression era. A totally different time. Many considered bank as non caring and ruthless. I'm not condoning their lifestyle. Just saying.
"No guns sold to minors" Strictly by the rules, responsible gun shop owner here :)
William Russ as Evan was great here locking horns with his Ex Partner James "Sonny" Crockett played by Don Johnson ,Loved the Episode Evan .

Nice shopping list.
Ah yes, Hollywood thinking gun stores get surprised when someone buys more than 5 guns at once.
We use to be able to buy machine guns without background checks or registration. We use to be a civilized society
From the beginning, the gun dealer looked at my man as if he was stunned someone came into the gun shop asking to look at guns…
My guess is that it's a small town, and all of his business is with people he knows. Back in the day, you knew your customers, what they shot, how much, what size round, drums or box magazine, etc. That's the vibe I'm getting.
@@winternow2242 and most of them didn’t start by asking for a Tommy gun. 😄 Makes sense to me. 👍🏼

The good old days.
Wheres the glock ?

Yes I can

Back when America was a free country....look today...the Dems want to disarm America...like Australia...
“which one?” “all of them” “ok, just need you to fill out all these forms and we’ll call you when the 30 day waiting period is over. plus you owe $200 stamps on about a dozen of these. “
That kid carrying the ammo like it's an empty box....that much ammo is heavy As F
and the plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.
Massively expensive weapons. The Thompson, the Colt Monitor, very expensive.

Woody has gone full circle all the way from a natural born killer to hunting a pair of them.
Can someone list me all the gun he's buying at the gun store, there's too many i can't even count it
Anything else? A phased plasma rifle in a 40 watt range ...
Yah not really liking the style of video in this episode
It should still be that way today

I've always been fascinated how in america you can just walk up to a store and buy some guns just like that. "Can i help you sir?" , yeah, guns.
He didn't answer the guy's question.
I really hate the soap opera effect.
William Russ played the hell out of this role!😮
How much do they would cost in after sum them up in total,during that time(1934)?!..
The look after he said I don't mind at all 😂😂😂❤❤❤
I love how they say "Sir" when interacting.
Aye, this was such a good movie fr🎉
Before Unconstitutional Paperwork And Waiting Periods.
Error - Hamer asks for a 20 inch Remington - the store owner pulls a Browning A5 semiauto off the wall
Its not a "clip" ...
I could swear that Winchester looks like the one he uses on Yellowknife. Is it his by any chance?
In the german sync is a major mistake. He said "colt automatic pistol" but in german translated as "Colt Maschinenpistole" (machine pistol). He mentioned the Colt 1911 pistol.
Guns, lots of guns...
0:55 Gewehr 43 is top gun... not invented yet for 1934 movie
Great scene 👍💪
I love Costner's 1934 Ford. It needs white wall tires
Also a banjo steering wheel.
Yep back then IF you had the money you could walk in with $200 and walk out with a Tommy Gun

How would you grade the 1967 movie on historical accuracy, including its treatment of Frank Hamer?

Dude they cut out the best part where the kid raises his concerns to his dad.
You mean when Dad says that they can close early, and the kid says that they should probably leave the state?
Looks like a nice Browning Auto 5 still on the rack...
A fave episode, but misunderstood it for years because I missed part of the dialog. I thought Evan was gay and felt shame about it.
He was gay, and he felt ashamed, but thats not what its about
@@user-ud6zi3kk5p No it was another joint friend who was gay and even was the most responsible for shaming their friend
