Tropic Thunder (2008)

Corrected entry: Right before the group splits up and Tugg goes off into the jungle alone, he says, "Let's go get some Viet Congs" and pulls the charging handle back and releases it to 'lock and load' his weapon. However, he had just finished firing a few rounds to get the others' attention, so the round that was loaded after the last round he fired should have ejected when he pulled the charging handle back, yet no casing or round is seen ejecting from the weapon.

Correction: The whole scene is a homage to war movies with lines like that, and its also done for comedic effect. Tugg does the whole 'lock n load' thing, and he's already run out of rounds, hence no ejection.
