I don't know if two copies will be enough. L.O.L. So true. I gave friends who weren't converts yet a money back guarantee, so to speak, in that I told them to buy EQ and if they didn't like it, I'd buy the DVD from them. Hey, I figured I could use a few copies. But you know what...and I'm sure fans here won't be surprised...I have converted around 12 or so people now...and I'm not having to buy any of those DVDs back! Gonna have to order another one, or two, or three. ;D

Just noticed. In the hallway shootout, when Preston dumps the first set of clips from his handguns, you get POV shot of the clip falling towards the camera. It actualy then HITS the camera and the image shakes accordingly. Which is quite cool. But was it intentional, or a happy accident I wonder?

Nope....thanks for that little bit I also noticed in the hallway shootout that the editing was a bit off. In some sequences, you see him shooting with the weighted clip in his gun before he actually loads them in after firing the first two sets of clips. I thought that a bit odd.

do the clerics have 2 sets of guns?
in the begginging of the movie john takes out both guns from his pockets, towards the end they come from his sleaves. now, how are clerics able to load guns in shoulder hoisters then launch them out of there sleaves on command?

I would have to say yes. When the clerics are wearing the coat, they draw them from the pockets. If they are wearing the jacket (or suit coat), they have the shoulder harnesses (like the ones cut from Brandt in the finale). I think the sleeve deal is because of Preston's intent to conceal the guns since his goal was to assassinate Father.

Umh..... that point out another question..... since Brandt have a shoulder harnesse like Preston's.... why Brandt didn't search Preston ? It should have been quite logical to assume he would carried other guns besides the sword.

I'm surprised that they didn't search him as well. I guess they assumed that he wouldn't show up armed, since Preston's initial attempt at meeting Father was under the guise of a reward for delivering the Resistance.
Definitely an unforgivable lapse resulting in their demise ;D

What other reason could have had Preston, in meeting Father, if not to attempt his life?

What other reason could have had Preston, in meeting Father, if not to attempt his life? The fact that Brandt walked away when showing his face the first time after being dragged away leads me to believe that he thought Preston was unarmed and helpless. True, they baited him. But sometimes the bait on the hook doesn't necessarily catch you the fish you had in mind. There's a world of difference between hooking a lemon shark and a great white They had no idea he was armed. Otherwise, they would have disarmed him at the door.

It should have been quite logical to assume he would carried other guns besides the sword. And they mention a metal detector. Did he ever go through that? I don't believe so. I'm wondering...do Brandt and DuPont think he did go through the metal detector and thus, was unarmed on entering the DuPont's palace, oh, I mean office?

He had those holsters in his sleeves throughout the whole movie. And id have to think those mags with the bulbs on the bottem would throw off his aim wouldnt you?

The pistol are roughly 2lbs in weight apiece, unloaded. The clips fully loaded would have 15 rds (approx) for the 92FS model. At around .5 oz (guestimate) per rd and weight of clip is around 1/2lb. You would need a bulb be a bit heavier to balance it as such. Being the experts that clerics are in the art of gun-kata does not require precision aiming through use of the sights on the pistol. The extra weight would not be an issue. It's more of a feel for where the target would be and pointing the barrel and squeezing the trigger. The extra weight would be cumbersome if you were holding the gun out straight and trying to use the sights to target. If you're not use to it, your shoulders will let you know in a hurry

Hi, Coolhand. Do you mean the part where he reloads from his sleeves? Yeah, that's the one. Just before you see the new clips go in, you see one of the old ones fall away to the floor. That bit. The camera gets whacked by the falling clip! P.S Sorry for the delay in replying. Been on holiday. Back now.

I haven't seen the movie in a little while and didn't get to check it out again before I post this, but when Preston goes to the Neters to release the puppie, as he goes through the gate, we see that Brandt is there, in his car, watching him leave, right? where did he go, I thought that he'd show up when Preston gets rid of the sweepers, but we never see him in that scene, but when we see him watch Preston leave, he gives you the feeling that he's gonna follow him, no?

Brandt does follow him. In the sparring scene, he mentions to Preston that he has a couple of theories. He knows exactly what Preston is up to. He may have actually been there observing Preston and also making sure that no one would interrupt him. If they did, it would spoil their plans of Preston bringing in the Resistance...
