Remington 870

When Michael (Tyler Mane) tries to escape a police man tries to shoot him with a shotgun only to hit his fellow officer.

What scene was this? MPM2008

Two versions of this movie are on DVD. The theatrical version shows Michael being escorted by armed guards, only to break away and slaughter most of them. This is the scene where the Remington comes into play. The Uncut version (which, surprisingly, is the more widely available version and the one it sounds like you have) omits this scene entirely and instead had Michael break out after two sadistic orderlies enter his room and taunt him while raping a female inmate, which of course leads to Michael predictably bashing their skulls in. --Clutch 06:07, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that entire rape scene was so ridiculous. It stretched the limits of believability. These morons were raping a girl in Michael's Bed, right in front of Michael Myers, while he was wearing his mask and these bozos taunting him right into his face. It made no sense. That's about as smart as poking a sleeping lion with a sharp stick......

Its not unbelievable and certainly not funny. Insanitarium inmates were many times raped and abused by orderlys and security. And the two guards don't see Michael as a threat and they don't know of his past or capabilities. To them he's just a big dumb insane guy. MoviePropMaster2008 21:27, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

The firearms identified in the first Remington 11 picture need to be split into separate sections, I would do it myself but I am short on time right now.-RedJedRevolver

shooting scene

In the empty pool scene, where dr. Loomis shoots thrice at Michael, two or three steps behind the villain there's Laurie, so, if that was real, the .357 bullets would strike her or not?

it's a movie , it's not real ....

it's a movie, he was firing blanks ....

No seriously, if Loomis had hollow points there would not be a lot of through and through penetration risk. MoviePropMaster2008 21:28, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

If he were firng HP's, Michael would only have had 2/3 of a head-S&Wshooter 01:26, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Nay, Michael Myers is bullet proof just like Jason Voorhees ;) LOL. I've always wondered how these 'guys' always shrugged off gunshots that would have obliterated a 'normal person'..... 01:29, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

I daresay another explanation: the gunstore clerk saw Loomis hurriedly buying a pistol and thought he want to rob a bank, so gave him rubber bullets. In the same scene, the clerk says ".22 Smith & Wesson" "just pisses off" people, but I think its effect should be a little more effective.

Yeah but the store clerk is oblivious to the fact that Loomis is going after a human, he suspects like a normal person he would be hunting large game.

Well the term .22 Smith & Wesson is the gun dealer's quick description of the .22 LR Smith & Wesson Revolver aka Model 617. But a .22 LR would NOT DO MUCH to a very large perp with a mental disorder. Especially Michael Myers, who would shoot him with a .22 and expect him to stop his attack? For a novice shooter who will be facing an imminent threat, than a .357 (probably loaded with .38 +P) is a good choice. When Loomis wants to upgrade he just changes the ammo to the hottest .357 wad cutters on the market. MoviePropMaster2008 08:48, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Then he wouldn't sell him the gun.-protoAuthor 03:21, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Also, in a scene there is a girl, Lynda, who sees Sheriff Brackett approaching with his car and says, ironically, "Oh no, 5-0". I don't know slang, what it means?

You don't know what the street term "Five Oh" means? It's ghetto/gansta talk for "The police" 75.36.153.132 03:17, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Magic. Also, the movies would be boring if some guy just doubletapped them halfway through their killing spree-S&Wshooter 01:48, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

I thought the most ridiculous thing was how the revolver fell on three empty chambers at the end of the movie. I believe Loomis already fired three shots, so he only loaded half the cylinder? I understand that sometimes mistakes are made during production, but this one was just too deliberate and idiotic for me.--Mauser 02:23, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Nah, the gun store dealer thought Loomis was a dork, so he sold him surplus ammo that had a 50% failure rate! ;) LOL! 75.36.153.132 03:17, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
