Talk:Jonah Hex

Chit Chat

You think we could cut down on the personal interjections in the picture captions? Your withering disdain for Hollywood's lack of regard for Newton's laws is cute and all, but it adds nothing to the article than to characterize the contributors of this site as bitter douches. --Toadvine

Yes! Please note also, that snarky commentary in descriptions OR picture captions is against IMFDB rules. (Read the Rules page folks). And members are well within their rights to re-write / edit caustic and sarcastic commentary on IMFDB. MoviePropMaster2008 02:41, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Gatling guns

Gatling guns mounted on the horse? Really? I mean I know that it's a fantasy western, but come on. Oh well. --Jcordell 15:01, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

You know this is based on a comic book, right? --John Ryder

Yes I know. I was reading the comic book back in the seventies when I was a kid and I don't recall dual Gatling Guns mounted on a horse. Also note that I did aknowledge that it's a Fantasy Western. Still doesn't change the fact that I find horse mounted Gatling Guns to be stupid. Reminds me of Will Smith's Wild Wild West.--Jcordell 17:06, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

They mounted the short barrel 1874 Gatling gun on camels, with special mounts. Rob the Fiend

Yes they did, but the set-up in the movie is ridiculous. Sorry, but like I stated in an earlier post, I read the comic book back in the seventies and I remember a fairly straight forward western comic book. Without all the silliness like a horse with dual mounted Gatlings. I guess times change, but I still think it's stupid. --Jcordell 15:30, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

some of the ideas in Fantasy western feeling like there modern ideas using old tech. like the magazine fed crossbows that shoot sticks of dynamite are like grenade launcher/rocket launchers. or Gatling as machine guns. but I don't think stick of dynamite would fly very far or straight. also using two gating guns to kill 8 men seem over the tip. it might be cheaper just to use his colts single action army's

why in western do the bad @#!*% shoot everyone that insults them?

It is from "The Shootist": I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. David.

Wall of Guns

Is there a Nock Gun hanging right behind Jonah's head, or is it some kind of fictional gatling rifle? Paul_Baeumer 30.04.2010

Strange as it may be, it actually looks like a Sharps carbine shoved into some sort of sleeve with extra barrels on it. --Toadvine 02:44, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

I agree looks like the barrel cluster of a Nock gun but the receiver looks closer to that of a Sharps rifle of some sort. --Charon68 08:51, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

SO, they didn't even bother to hide the big red garage hooks you can get from home depot? That's great. Just great. -J3

NEW ARMY REVOLVER

Didn't see one on the main page, but Jonah is holding a Remington New Army on the movie poster. Don't know if that is going to be in the movie. --Jan 19:11, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Question

Think i should ask before doing. What do you, people (especially admins) think about movies based on comic books as a separate category? I think it can be useful, as a comic book fan and as a frequent user of this site. Sorry, that i put this on the discussion page for this movie, but i think that it's perfect to start. Really like this characters one of the most interesting heroes/anti-heroes in DC universe. --Kloga 17:24, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Identifications Needed

ID's are needed for the following firearms:

One of the hijackers aims a pistol at Union soldiers aboard the train.

A guard at Slocum's fight ring points an unknown pistol at Hex.

Slocum's guard aims his pistol at Hex.

Burke (Michael Fassbender) is seen with a pearl-handled pistol in his belt.

Reversed picture

The picture of the Federal troops on the train, about to fire their Enfields, is reversed.

It's possible it's reversed in the actual movie, too. That happens from time to time. Evil Tim 16:33, 27 September 2011 (CDT)
