Corrected entry: When Tony is shooting at Boris and he just won't die, Tony fires a total of 8 shots, the last one being Tony actually aiming down the sights. Desert Eagle magazines only hold 7 rounds.
Correction: Unless he put one in the chamber. Then there would be 7 in the magazine too, making it 8 rounds total.
Corrected entry: Several times during the film, Cousin Avi refers to Frankie Four Fingers as "Bubbe" which is a Yiddish term of endearment for "Grandma" and would be inappropriate when addressing a man.
Correction: Yes, the term does mean Grandma. There is also a Yiddish term "Bubele" (not sure of the spelling), which means "baby." Jewish people often shorten that to "bubbe" as a term of endearment, and the way he is using it in this film is exactly how many Jewish people use it in real life.
Maybe not an acceptable comment to this correction, but is this the word Harry Ellis uses in "Die Hard" when talking to Hans?
Funny, I was absolutely going to use that EXACT instance as an example! I decided not to, though, in case some people hadn't seen that movie. But yes, same word and meaning. "Hans, Bubbe, I'm your white knight!" Both Ellis and Avi are using it correctly.
Correction: Tony is a blagger who actually has a .44 Magnum, rather than a .50AE. You can see from close up shots that it has a teardrop shape safety, which means it's a Mk1 which was never chambered in 50. A .44 mag holds 8 rounds and a .357 holds 9. The really ugly "Desert Eagle .50" font on the gun is also non standard. So I reckon he has a .44 magnum that just has "desert eagle .50" written on the side. He consistently fires 8 rounds before reloading. How Avi fires about 11 shots with it in the "look in the dog" scene is a different matter.
