... that the gold plated [[Taurus PT92]] with pearl grips and a black barrel used on ''[[Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball]]'' also saw use in ''[[Driven to Kill]]''?
I'm kind of on the border of this one, now if these films were well known I think it would be a good piece of trivia however both films are sort of obscure so I don't think the average IMFDB viewer would be all that thrilled by reading it.
I agree. It's not like those are popular movies; they're direct-to-DVD crap. I'd prefer we try to limit the trivia to better-known movies that people actually give a shit about.

Also, guns from a particular armory get reused all the time. Any time you see a particular firearm in a movie or TV show, that gun has already been used on dozens or hundreds of other productions. We don't want to have new trivia for every time we see the same gun being used on many different movies. That would get out of control too quickly.

Snarky? Probably not. Anal? I don't know if we can shy away from that one.

Either way it's an obscure film with an uninteresting piece of information/"trivia" that is unlikely to find interest in readers.

What? So I've never paid attention to the guy's name. I've always read the Funky part but never the rest cause it blends so well together. And I've never heard it out loud, so I forgot

Well and done, but next time, read a little more carefully. Otherwise, it looks like you have ADHD or something.

Try reading the user's name. Duh. Personally I am not fond of the name, but he likes it so it's his choice.
