I was watching a movie titled "Mind the Gap" yesterday. The movie relates stories of various people from around the country and their stories all come together in NYC at the end of the film. One scene is about a guy who is suicidal (he never follows through with his plans) and enters a department store gun sales area. He asks the salesman about a handgun and the salesman tells him, "In Arizona there is a three day waiting period." WRONG! The suicidal man then asks, "Is there anyway I could get a gun today?" The salesman suggests a rifle or shotgun and asks what he is getting it for. The man says, "Home defense." The salesman tells him, "Well, you can't beat a shotgun, this alone (he works the pump) will scare away any burglar." I don't remember the exact dialog used but you get the picture. They sure do love the sound of the pump shotgun line!
Why don't screenplay writers do a little research?
