Chris Costa, action film star??

[esrice]

Alternate title-- See How Much Name-Brand Gear You Can Name in 3 Minutes.

I'm really at a loss here. The concept of a big(ger)-budget action flick using 'real' guns and gear and modern tactics sounds appealing. But I can't help but think how cheesy this looks. Maybe its the bad acting.

Here's the 'behind the scenes' with info on the guns and gear used.

You did this for me, didn't you?

You don't need to give me such low-hanging fruit as you know I love you but this is a touching Christmas gift.

I will be back to mock Magpul, Culture Haute Tactical and its Fanbois after gym and dinner. Hold my place here.

Yes. Yes I did.

What about the Nissan Quest minivan they were driving, and the Chuck Taylor's the perp was wearing....lol

I was going to comment on the Nissan as well. I'm not cool enough to be able to discern a Knight's Armament from a Daniel Defense in a poorly lit movie set but the pewter colored Nissan minivan--....if you can't get the stereotypical Suburban, at least get a black minivan.

you sure that's not Chuck Noris?

I thought it was awesome! I dont know that much about Chris but from what I have seen thus far the guy is an artist. Wish I had the cash to take one of his classes.

 

[avboiler11]

He shot a guy in the d!ck.

There was even a gratuitous close-up of the hit.

That's not cool.

After reflection upon being all stretched out and a belly full of Pad Thai, while this is moronic it can only help the gun culture. Movies sell guns. Heck, look at INGO, people buy guns because of movies.

Even though this is stupid, we need more of it.

Just look at your pistol esrice, the Smith M&P. It is popular because of The Avengers.

Just look at Glock. Glock is popular because of Atlanta strip clubs.

From my own experience behind the glass counter I saw how movies sell guns. We need to encourage more of our people into becoming Second Unit Directors and doing this cheesy, lame crap that Chris Costa is doing. The greater good of the culture demands it.

I had a dream about Chris Costa, Larry Vickers, Louis Awerbuck, Pat Rogers, Hackathorn and the crew from Dynamic Pie Concepts doing an "Expendables 3" kinda thing...

 

[Trigger Time]

Costa has always been cheesy all by himself because he tries to be something he isn't.

It would have been better if the girl had croaked out a "bust 'em" as he ran off to engage. Period. End of story.

 

[churchmouse]

Have any of you guys ever rolled in one of those vans. I have and the darn things will fly. I can see maintaining a low profile in one of those.
I see chuck taylors a lot the these days. Fit the dirt bag look pretty well.
Shoot out was decent but it was the acting and editing that sucked.

Just don't stand there, start sending out resumes to Hollywood for Director slots right this minute!

I don't always do entries into buildings after an armed suspect that just shot my partner, but when I do

I do those entries by myself.

But, but, but what about Rob Pincus, Travis Haley, & James Yeager........

I think there is some penalty for using rob pincus name in the same sentence with those others. Pincus is a dip ****
