Heck yes they are site worthy IMHO.

That one minute clip was great. Thank you for posting it!

:D

Interesting...

Not he said mostly at targets, lol. And thank god we have someone famous that isn't a complete leftist whackjob.

Well now I have to add him to my list of favorite actors.

And for those who haven't seen Public Enemies yet, it is excellent. Most of the shootouts are a little short but appear frequently enough to be satisfying.

The full, uncut Little Bohemia shootout was intense, definately the " 'Heat' bank shootout" of this film. :D

Sadly, Nelson is the only one who is seen using the .38 Super pistol, and not very often. I saw only 1 shot other than the one I already had on the page that was good enough to see the weapon.

Oh, and this film is a gun-lovers dream. Nice and loud gunfire (although a little inconcistant at times), pretty good gun handling, great close ups, and some interesting dialogue, one where Purvis mentions to his G-men that they are issued "Thompson submachine guns, BARs, and Winchester .351 semi-automatic rifles." He's talking about Winchester 1907s BTW.

I won't spoil anything new for you (although most people know Dillinger died in 1934, so big surprise. :eek:). Spoiling the movie by saying Dillinger dies is like spoiling King Kong (1933), a 76 year old movie, by telling you King Kong dies in the end. People already know. ;). Trust me on one thing, there is plenty of unspoiled material left to enjoy this work of art film.

I highly recommend it, it was great.

King Kong dies??
You SOB you spoiled it for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Remington Model 11
 

Was the Remington Model 11 autoloading shotgun used in the movie? I thought I saw it in the trailer but It's not listed on the "Public Enemies" page.

Yeah, Homer Van Meter carries a sawed-off Model 11 at a few points in the movie, which you can see in the famous Dillinger gang weapons display. The sawed off BARs they carried, were, interestingly, real, but it was carried by Clyde Barrow, not Dillinger.

Some of them were used by FBI agents too, but they could have been Browning A5s.

How accurate was it historically?

Well, lets just say they used a lot of creative liscensing.

For instance, Pretty Boy Floyd and Baby Face Nelson died after Dillinger was killed in real life, yet both die before him in the film.

When Dillinger is in jail in Tuscon, Purvis visits him in his cell. Purvis never visited Dillinger when he was imprisoned. It was the good/bad confrontation though, typical in many Micheal Mann films.

Many of the bank jobs were either changed, extended, or combined off of several robberies.

I can't nitpick on other stuff without spoiling things, but they weren't exactly dead on in historical accuracy. None-the-less, it was a great film with an excellent story.
