Talk:Snatch

[1]

I know it already says that the .50 is a 357, but also another way of finding out is that .50s fire 7 rounds where as in the film Bullet tooth tony fires 8 in every mag.

The .357 holds a 9-shot mag. Also, he fires 10 shots in the scene where he's in the hallway shooting at Boris, which means 9 + 1 in the chamber. Only way they could have accomplished that is with the .357 model. -MT2008

BTW, I'm full of crap...since I made that original post, I counted again, and he only fires 8 shots. It's probably the .44 Magnum model that he uses. I find it interesting that he fires the gun empty (on camera) without the slide locking back...I'm guessing that the movie's armorer must have deliberately modified the followers on the magazine so that it wouldn't push up the slide release when empty. -MT2008 16:54, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

The odd part is that when looked at closely, it really does say Desert Eagle .50 on the side of it. -Excalibur

That just means that the armorer/gunsmith stamped it onto the slide. The stamp they used is not the factory stamp; on a .50 AE Desert Eagle Mark XIX, it says ".50 AE" only on the left side of the gun (we see it on the right in the movie), and it's much tinier than that. -MT2008 23:48, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

PPK?

The gun used by the Asian guy to shoot Bullet Tooth Tony looks like a Walther PPK to me.98.175.58.228 23:01, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Correct title

You guys DO REALIZE that the movie is titled "Snatch." with a period at the end, not "Snatch", right? It's a weird thing that Ritchie did, but that IS the official name of the movie. So I am changing it per IMFDB protocols. MoviePropMaster2008 05:09, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Not to argue...but why is it that the period is not present on any of the movie covers or on the title page of the DVD. Did Guy Ritchie do a interview where he released this little movie trivia.--Spades of Columbia 14:45, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

It's how its listed in IMDb. [2] --funkychinaman 14:56, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Is IMDb based out of Denmark because that is the only place that the period was used in the title...everywhere else including the UK, Japan, and USA all use the title without the period.--Spades of Columbia 15:21, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

IMDB is the bible for movie titles. Since there is NO USA RELEASE title that omits the period on the 'aka' listing, then the original title is the one we use. In the rules the U.S. release title takes precedence, but in this case, I'm not sure the artwork is much help. I've always known it as SNATCH and my DVD cover says SNATCH, In this case, we should defer to the official title. It's a minor point and if people become outraged, we can change it back, but it will have to come to a vote. Right now, this title is the only 'official' title sans a recognized American Release one.
