Continuity mistake: John Smith's guns can hold about six dozen bullets apiece.
Last Man Standing (1996)
Directed by: Walter Hill
Starring: Bruce Willis, Christopher Walken, Bruce Dern, William Sanderson
Continuity mistake: Before John Smith shoots the man above the skylight in the hotel, he reloads his two pistols. When he shoots the man, he only fires the gun in his right hand. In the next shot, we see two empty magazines fall to the ground as he reloads again.
Other mistake: Shooting two forty-fives at once is hard. Willis must think so too. One gun fires blanks and the other gun operates like a real pistol, even emptying out shells, but is not firing. This is very noticable in slow motion during his first standoff.
Trivia: "Last man standing" is actually the third remake of the 1961 Kurosawa film "Yojimbo" (Japanese for "The Bodyguard"). The second remake of the film was in 1967 called "A Fistful Of Dollars", starring Clint Eastwood. Yojimbo had the exact same plot as the other two, except it was about a Lone Samurai. The other two films just took the exact same story and put it in a different time period and setting.
John Smith: Does your boss have a first name?
Lucy Kolinski: Only in the bedroom.
John Smith: I always like sinners a lot better than saints. She was real easy to look at. But I'm glad I never saw her again.
John Smith: What about Prohibition?
Joe Monday: We don't pay too much attention to it here.
