Unfortunately unless you get the Collector's Special Edition DVD or the Blu-Ray, you're stuck with a bad quality 4x3 full screen version that was letterboxed to "look like Widescreen" except it isn't. The initial DVD version of this film was very poor. I look forward to getting a decent high res version of this film soon.

Revision as of 08:00, 29 November 2009
Heather Gummer uses an M8 Pyrotechnic Flare pistol to shoot the Graboid in the mouth before Burt kills it with the 8 Gauge. You can even see it on the wall in one of your caps. - Gunmaster45
- Sad thing is: I know someone with that many guns-76.31.5.208 02:05, 26 June 2009 (UTC) (S&Wshooter)
- Why is that sad? Don't even ask how many guns I own ;)........ MoviePropMaster2008 06:49, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
The guns that Burt asks heather if he should take is not the elephant gun it is another one.
I've watched this movie many times (I love the first three and the short-lived one season series, there was some weird 19th Century western 4th one I didn't bother to watch) but I don't recall ever seeing a Colt 1860 in it. The revolver that Earl takes from the glove box of his Jeep pickup and carries with him until attacked on horseback by a Graboid is clearly a Colt Model 1873 SAA. Val drops Edgar's .30-30 in these scenes, as mentioned, after emptying the magazine. All but one shot is unaimed and misses, the one aimed shot--the first one--severs one of the tongues/tenacles of the Graboid that has grabbed the horse (belonging to Walter Chang) that Earl was riding.
- How many guns DO you own, MPM2008? Any other answer other than "too damn many to count" is incorrect-S&Wshooter 04:33, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
- on Personal guns, I did an audit for insurance purposes in 1997, including junk, it was around 5100. That was back in 1997.
