Champion Gunslinger Rates 10 Quick-Draw Scenes In Movies And TV Shows | How Real Is It? | Insider
Quick-draw world champion Nicole "Fastdraw" Franks rates 11 gunslinging scenes from movies and TV shows for realism.
Franks has over 50 quick-draw world records and 12 world championships. In the sport of fast draw, competitors attempt to be the quickest to shoot a target. They use wax bullets or black powder blanks to hit targets at various distances and of various sizes.
Franks rates the realism of quick-draw scenes in films such as "Django Unchained" (2012), "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" (1966), and "Westworld" (2016). She breaks down some of the differences between modern quick draws with semiautomatic guns, like in "Collateral" (2004) and "John Wick" (2014).
She analyzes classic Western movies like "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964), "Tombstone" (1993), "Trinity Is Still My Name" (1971), and "The Magnificent Seven" (1960), discussing the different styles of guns, gun holsters, and stances. She even takes a look at some futurist quick draws, like those shown in "The Mandalorian" (2020) and "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back" (1980).

Champion Gunslinger Rates 10 Quick-Draw Scenes In Movies And TV Shows | How Real Is It?
I'd give Jamie fox a 10 out of 10 because he shot 7 times with a 6 shooter. That's skill
Wow! That's almost as good as the time I won a poker hand with five aces.
he topped it off 😂
@@davidanderson2357 Sorry, but my 6 aces beats your 5 aces.
He probably had the "20% higher magazine capacity" perk
My six shooter usually only shoots 5. Lol. I rest my hammer on an empty.
I can’t stress enough how much I love people talk in depth about obscure stuff I know nothing about. It’s like being introduced to a new world.
Well then, let me tell you about how I pickle garlic . . .
Just because it's on the web doesn't mean they know anything about their subject matter, though. Remember that.
this is their mind controlled feeding station... there were no "champion" gunslingers... mostly just regular citizens exercising their right to bear a convienient sidearm in leu of rifle or shotgun ... of course there were contests to see whose the fastest/best shot... our lives depended on our skills living in nature ... not "money"
@@nacholibre1962 seriously please tell me I'm interested in pickling several things
Well, you still know nothing, because this is no 'gunfighting' expert. Not trying to be a jerk, this is just a useless excuse for an expert. She has zero clues what shes talking about.
She drew literally so fast that she lagged her own camera when demonstrating during that Tom Cruise clip. Pure skill
You mean she flagged her leg
She drew the gun faster than the frame rate of the camera, that's amazing!
@@themobseat looked below 30fps, no way that poor webcam could keep up with such speed
@@BigOzWhere? I didn’t see her flag her leg?
wow 0:25 up someone told me that aint how you hold a gun
I'm very happy you liked the Mandolorian draw! I worked on the costume and props team for that specific costume. I had been playing around at the shop doing a quick draw. I ended up going to set to show the performer how I was drawing so quick and easily. It's a "space gun" so it was not the easiest of things to draw. But a nerd in the shop has all the time in world to play😁
Cool
that was my favorite ep!
Mandalorian's armor is such a well-made costume! Hat's off to you, sir.
@@DashingSteel Thanks much, but I was one member of a huge team at Legacy Effects👍🏻
Thanks for your work yall did a great job on the series!
Imagine being in a stand off with her and you blink and wake up to st.Peter addressing your sins
What is st peter
@@No-hw7mb christendom figure
Or alternatively......."Hey you, your finally awake."
Or an unnamed grave
@@justicekreider2978 Todd Howard you did it again.
_"It's important to have a strong wrist..."_ Turns out I've been training for quickdraw my whole life.
Me too. I'll be training my wrist later.
Same
Sure, work on the wrist...but your "quick shooting" needs work too. Maybe work on endurance and stamina more lmao 🤣
@@KiX-K4T13 I think I did it wrong. I keep firing blanks!
Yes but your left handed! 😂😂
I love when she described “blink of an eye” and refrenced how her fastest draw is literally in the blink of an eye. That’s awesome.
In defense of Tombstones quick draw, he didn’t drop his smoke, style points. But she’s the professional so her score holds more weight
Doc Holliday was around 120 pounds, with tuberculosis. So, he had to carry a gun on him. What about the OK Corral? He was in the most notorious gun fight of all time
It wasn't something I was critiquing, and it looked real. I agree with you that she knows what she's doing. But, the fight scene looked cool.
Doc Holliday was also constantly sweating drunk, so I'd say he did pretty good tbh
@@CubicLice Also, going by the movie at least, he was so quick and accurate that the risk to his arm is only theoretical. Helps that he didn't care if he lived or died either, I suppose.
Shooting targets and shooting at another armed person would be worlds apart. I don't think it would mean that Holiday or anyone else would never do it that way. Keeping on arm up would partially hide his other hand while drawing and could be used as a distraction.
the tombstone draw may be messy, but the entire smoking-a-cigarette-with-your-off-hand-thing really adds to the coolness. also he's your huckleberry
You no daisy
She also actually said, "it's unsafe" It's a duel to the death, pretty sure safety isn't the main concern.
@@steveshopworxmachine5716 I read it as "something a trained gunslinger would not do". Doc is supposed to be a seasoned gunslinger who has been practicing quick drawing for years. As such he would have developed the muscle memory to move his other arm out of the way. It is something an amateur might do so she came down on it. It was still a very cool scene.
Yeah definitely don't talk shit about Doc. I don't care if it's unrealistic it's one of the coolest scenes ever.
It was weird, because I didn't even know I had a huckleberry.
Fun Fact: The guy that the mandalorian shot in this clip is played by Michael Biehn, who played Johnny Ringo in Tombstone. Who was the guy that got shot in the Tombstone clip.
Is he the Sean Bean of getting shot?
@@sdsign4229 you could say that
Bet you wanna keep that cornbread right
Holy shit I never knew that
You're no daisy at all
In the Tombstone scene it’s Michael Biehn (Johnny Ringo) whose thumb you see the closeup of, then they show Doc outdraw him and shoot him. It was meant to show how much faster Doc is. Ringo grabbed his gun first as you can see in the closeup shot, then Doc draws his gun afterward and still beats him. It wasn’t some editing mistake showing Doc’s thumb then a wider shot of him drawing the gun or anything like that.
I was hoping I wasn't the only one who noticed this. She needs to go back and watch again. In the sequence she shows here, you can clearly see the hand thumbing the gun in front of a red shirt (obviously Ringo), then a couple seconds later, Doc holsters his gun in front of a black shirt, no red in sight. It may not change her opinion at all, but what she describes isn't what is being shown in the scene.
So glad you included a Trinity movie. That series is a top Western favorite of mine. Regardless of his technical skills, Terrance is so funny!!
I saw a video of Jonathan Ferguson talking about the guns of James Bond, and he mentioned the stance that Han Solo uses (stepping forward, pointing far forward with the opposite arm flung back) was a technique taught during the 50s and 60s or 70s by many agencies such as the FBI as their reaction shooting. So, while proven to be not the best and no longer used, it would have been thought of as one of the better techniques when Empire Strikes Back was filmed.
That's an awesome little fun fact. Thanks for the info!
I give Han a little bit of a break because in the other clips the shooters were already aware of the situation and not caught by surprise. Han was caught completely by surprise and was just reacting defensively. In which case throwing the gun out at the enemy and automatically turning sideways is understandable as a gut reflex. He did not know that no one was going to shoot back. Bad form for quick draw, but his reactions were pretty quick for being caught by surprise. If it were anyone but Darth Vader it would’ve been a kill shot.
If you watch Han's scene closely, his left hand is behind him being held (pulled?) by Princess Leia's, hand who is trying to stay behind & left of the door frame.
Might have something to do also with that stance giving you a smaller silhouette.
Not to mention the fact that this mordern form that the expert uses has been overly optimized to hit stationary targets as quickly as possible. There are some good fundamentals at play, but isn't perfectly applicable to many of the scenarios we see in these films.
Damn, that lady's fast. Her clips look faster than the movies, and I'm sure they speed up the video in the movies a little. Kudos to you, Nicole Franks.
Too bad she doesn't even shoot real bullets in her competitions.......
Just remember, It's faker than the movies...
@@billyb7561 it's literally not. She actually shoots, the movies don't
At the end of the clip she says they shoot "wax, or black powder blanks". But I certainly wouldn't want to be a robber breaking into her house, I bet she can handle real bullets just fine.
@@billyb7561 You are so upset by this.
Shoulda done the Surly Joe scene from Ballad of Buster Scruggs xD
@CWS and TKP 66-02 first time for everything 👌
I’d love to see her opinion of Cherokee kid and Gregory Hines draw who was trained by one of the fastest in Hollywood back in the day.
“Pop and lock”, you could feel her passion for quick drawing in that scene. This was a phenomenal guest on the series and I really hope to see her back. Her analysis was both informative and entertaining.
I was thinking can they just make the holster able to rotate up so even no draw and shot?
@@qs987 Swivel holsters were a thing.
I agree. She needs to come back.
@@springbloom5940 oh yea , I just never saw a draw base on that
Even thought just because your fast at drawing doesn't make you a good shooter you have to be accurate
I love the fact that the stunt double in The Mandalorian that does all those quick draw scenes is Brendan Wayne, The Duke's own grandson, so it all makes sense that he did a great job
Brendan Wayne is one of two stunt men who double for the mandalorian, the other is Lateef Crowder. Wayne does the gunplay style action while the more acrobatic or hand to hand combat stuff is done by lateef
It's gotta be very difficult to do anything in that suit and helmet, he definitely moves pretty well, for those conditions. Also, love Lateef!
@@charlietoole8707 It's not easy to wear that the helmet for long periods. No sense of depth
Yah exactly. He knows his stuff. Now the real question. Could he outdraw Cad Bane?
@@madelinegarber7860 I THINK so... Cobb and Din all wear day draw rigs. And 100% Cad Babe wouldn't have messed with Din Djarin come to think of it. He has no counter for whisting birds. He'd get and use his shocky boys
This lady might be one of my favorite YT experts so far 😂
There was 40 feet between them when they stopped to make their play And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip

Honestly he could do sex scenes, doctor scene, firefighter scenes, astronaut scenes....he could have his own channel
@@joshuacarrig9370 lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tom Cruise went through intensive hand to hand and combat shooting training from SAS operators. His draw from retention in the alley scene in Collateral is so good it's used by handgun instructors. I think from draw to 2 opponents down is 1.7 seconds. The reason Keenu's shooting in the John Wich series seems so similar to Tom Cruise in Collateral is because Keenu went through the exact same training. Both of them could be top level combat shooters if they keep up their practice.
Yeah, he did it perfectly, locking his arm to his side and getting his head over the weapon, then the pushout for the second guy. Two to the chest one to the noodle. Perfection.
Keanu shoots 3 gun as a hobby, and has for quite a while.
I knew it was something special when I first saw the movie. No idea he went through that much training for one scene.
Bruh that wasn't Tom Cruise 🤣
Keanu competes in 3-gun I believe.
Clint Eastwood activated deadeye at 9:54💀
Excellent video, really interesting comments in the films they always make it look so easy. It’s nice to hear from an expert about how good it is and how good it looks and how impossible it was in certain cases 14:36
FUN FACT: The stunt double for the Mandalorian in this scene is John Wayne's grandson.
I learn more every day😂
@Leon Russell To do it right
He’s a regular standing ....also the stunt double...but it’s more him
@Leon Russell It may not be the need for a stunt double. By season 2, Pedro Pascal was frustrated with always having the helmet on. Like most actors he wants his face on camera. The showrunners thought Mando's armor and helmet are integral to the character and wanted it to stay on. They decided all they really needed was his voice so he could record his dialog in a booth and other guys could actually be on set in the armor. He pretty much became a voice actor for the role. A very well paid voice actor.
@SuperEmotionEngine what did he to do you?
You gotta give Han Solo an ocean of credit: he walks into a room and sees one of the most dangerous people in the galaxy there, whom he knows wants to capture, and torture or kill, his closest friends (and himself), and he doesn't hesitate for even half a second: he draws and fires. If it had been anyone but Vader, they would have been dead. That's the "Han Shot First" we know and love!
Hear me out -- maybe the reason he's reaching so far forward is that Vader is already pulling on the gun?
Han Solo is a "jack of all trades, master at none". He thinks on his feed and improvises as he goes. He can do anything reasonably well, but he's not supposed to be an expert, so I have no problem with him being not super-smooth on a quick draw. Also, if you're a target shooter, wouldn't you put the gun at arms length and look down the barrel? That is different from quick-draw, but maybe he wasn't practiced with the quick-draw.
@@MacNerfer you could make the argument that he lacks any formal training so while he shoots accurately through experience his stance doesn't do him any favours.
@@MacNerfer this is why I believe the theory that Han Solo is an unknowing Force USER rather than force sensitive. It explains everything he does so well.
@@CAMSLAYER13 Didn't they confirm in Solo that he went through almost the full Academy tgraining for TIE Fighter pilots? No way they do not teach shooting if only in case you have to bail out in hostile terrain. But his stance seems to fit actually using Iron Sights (although his Blaster has IIRC tghat cutesy little zoom optic on top?) so holding it at the hip woudl do nothing for his shooting style. Unless the target is very close by and might shoot first :P
I was very surprised with the detailed analysis of her podcast. I under-estimated the expected helpfulness of her presentation. Great !
The Han Solo ESB draw had to happen that way as he had Leia to shield. Vader was at the other end of the room so Solo had no incoming fire to consider. To be fair, that draw was probably the smoothest he'd ever made... but Vader got the last word.
At this point we all know that when Tom Cruise does something in a movie, he 99% can do it for real at a decent level.
That's so true! Say what you want about him personally; his dedication to his craft is almost unmatched, making him a tremendous actor! I really, really enjoyed what he brought to Edge of Tomorrow.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Yeah, right!
That's that Scientology focus
@@GodJustCopyPasteWhatISay yelling at ashtrays and whatnot
@TreeFiddy no way. Not even close. They are different classes. Keanu might look good, but all of his stuff is modded for no recoil. It's a cheap trick for use on people that don't know any better. Tom Cruise doesn't cut corners.
0:47 - It's not squinting, that's the natural way Clint Eastwood's eyes are.
I use "clint" as a verb because of this.
This comment will blow up
It's clinting.
The willingness to kill someone. People will pause, will blink. Clint said I don't blink.
That's why he can't see that chairs next to him are empty.
Such expertise! Fun to listen her explain everything. 🙂
Has Nicole Franks ever done revolver spinning tricks like Ocelot from Metal Gear?
OMG!!!
She is just, I’m in love!!!
To be fair to Han, if I walked into a dining room and the literal boogie man of the galaxy was at the other side of the table I'd probably be frozen with a new pair of brown underwear. In terms of pure balls I will give Han 10/10
😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏 you know you got a valid point on that, yeah doesn't help the boogie man of the galaxie was your pissed off genocidal father in law
True dude you gotta love that while everyone else was shocked, still processing the moment, he decided to solve the problem New Jack City style
I agree. Han reacts completely without thinking as soon as he sees Vader. I give his "sloppiness" over to emotional reflex and more realistically, that it's more dramatic to point forward with the blaster rather than doing what's technically more proficient. It's a movie with space wizards in it. Han did good.
In the novelization, it was described as the fastest draw Han had ever done. Obviously not fast enough against a Sith Lord.
Han still shot first though
Her Mother & Father are also in the sport of Quick Draw....her dad is a South Paw or left-handed draw. Nicole has won the World Championship EVERY year since she was 14...so I think she's pretty good.
"You're pretty good!"
PRETTY good?!?!? She's pretty DAMN good!!!
@@mariusmioc3045 Oh I know...I've had the shear joy of watching her shoot in person as my fiance and her are in the same club in Langley, BC, Canada. Let me tell you seeing her shoot live is truely amazing. Her hand moves like Greased Lightning.
Or there's no interest in the sport of quickdraw so there's just a few passionate people.
@Stellvia Hoenheim seems like that's helping her holster placement for her style.
It hurt my heart when she gave Doc Holiday a 3
It's her opinion nothing more, in a standup fight Holiday would kill her 10 out of 10 times. Difference is she is an entertainer and he was a killer period.
@@harryblackburn9556 ur dang right Holiday would
@@harryblackburn9556 I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, that that's not Doc Holiday. That's Val Kilmer, and he most assuredly would not kill her in a gun fight.
@@victoria-renevazquez3652 I think they were talking about the real Holliday
@@tortillachips553 I was talking abt the character in the movie in tombstone. The real Doc Holiday was not that cool. Other than he was Wyatt’s Earps friends
Thank you for the great content., especially coming from a champion shooter. I disagree a bit on the Doc Holiday but hey, you know what you are talking about more than me so I will watch your vids, subscribe and learn from you. Great content, thank you!
I feel like they should’ve put “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs” here. That movie definitely deserves some attention and I personally think they did great during the shoot off
I thought she’d talk about The Quick and the Dead too. The whole movie is nothing but quick draws
Both were awesome movies, giving them theatrical license of course
"PAN SHOT!!!"
i still don’t understand how the duels in that film work
@@BLUNDERBAND yeah like that one scene where he shot someone's fingers of while shooting FROM THE Hip. I think that's just impossible
My favorite thing about the fistful of dollars scene is that he actually misses his second shot and catches it by speeding up and burning all 5 rounds for 4 dudes. POW-POW-POWPOWPOW. Such a beautifully accurate scene
"I know what you were thinking: Did he fire off all five shots, or only four? To tell you the truth, in all the excitement, I kinda lost count myself..." Hope you like it :D
@@Raz.C wouldn't it be all 6 shots since it's a six shooter?
@@redseaford9426 I'm no expert but, I think one chamber was left empty on purpose so as to act as a safety. It wouldn't be wise to have the hammer sitting right on a primer while say, riding a horse.
@@payrocoin yeah, older revolvers had a habit of going off while holstered if fully loaded because of a flaw in the firing pin system. So they'd only load five rounds to make sure they wouldn't shoot themselves
@@Raz.C - My only question is this...... Do you feel lucky, Muchacho¿?
Cant believe my fave clip only got 3 out of ten. Always loved that scene with him smoking and then shoots. For me val kilma , tom cruise and keanu were my faves
Why Johnny Ringo, you look like someone just walked over your grave.
Collateral was directed Michael Mann, and he makes all his actors learn how to shoot, and Tom Cruise did a perfect speedrock in the "Yo, homie" scene. See also the climactic shootout in Heat, where Pacino's crew were trained by SWAT cops, and De Niro's crew of criminals were trained by former SF operators. Mann is a gun nut, he makes the shooting scenes perfect. (Also the big shootout in Heat was live audio, the foley artist couldn't make real enough fake gunshots, so they went with the on-set audio of the (blank-firing) automatic gunfire echoing through the downtown canyons of Los Angeles.
I'm surprised 'The Quick and the Dead' wasn't included, considering it's a film that revolves around a quick-draw tournament.
Maybe it was a rights issue.
Came here to make this comment. How do you have a gunslinger one and not mention The Quick and The Dead?! The only equally egregious omission would have been The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Mexican standoff.
Man I hate that movie
Terrible movie any classic western would be better
Back when I lived in an apartment in the 90s The quick and the dead would come on channel 20 almost every weekend and if I didn't go out that night I would watch it... Probably the one movie I always compare westerns with since I've seen it a hundred times. Such a good film and young Leo was.. Well young Leo.
Doc Holliday being "messy and unsafe" fits perfectly.
I read in an interview years ago that Val Kilmer in training for Tombstone he wanted his style to be a bit reckless with an air of elegance. So it makes me wonder if her criticism is exactly what he intended and you pointed out.
@@mr.nobody9697 There's also the fact that at that point Doc knew he was dying of tuberculosis. The recklessness you mention there might have also been because he would have viewed dying in a gunfight as preferable to wasting away in a bed.
Actually yes, you both are very much correct.
@@chrisnewman2737 in fact in the scene where Wyatt visits him in the hospital, he's saying something about feelin cold or whatnot, tells Wyatt to go, Wyatt leaves, and he looks down at his feet and says "this is funny". That's because Tombstone was the most accurate portrayal of the events that took place according almost every record that exists. Where curly bill shoots Fred White in the chest with an upside down pistol after acting like he was going to surrender them... yeah that actually happened, that that wasn't historically accurate because Curly Bill Broscious shot Frew White in the balls and fred bled out almost a day later. Also Virgil, and Morgan being shot on the same night wasn't accurate. Virgil was shot first a couple days prior and then Morgan was shot in the back while playing pool but didn't die till almost a day later. For the most part it is stupid accurate. Even the facial hair for the most part (nobody could grow a mustache like Wyatt Earp though. I've tried). Where Doc looked at his feet and said "this is funny" those were Doc Holiday's last words and it was because he always said he would die with his boots on. Why do you think he would take everybody up on a duel and everyone was too scared to take him up on it? Because you can't get a more reckless and dangerous man than one who is already dead.
Nicole Franks rules!!!! Oh! She’s also fast on the draw too 🥰
Interesting that Fox is running a 58 Remington army with 5in barrel. Hadn't noticed that before. The Cruise smackdown of the druggies is an epic piece of PPS / Concealed draw. There's a lot to unpack there but it's one of the best. Note how he grabs the hand of druggie #1 as he gets control of the weapon, then he throws him open full face and fires from retention. He then pivots, punches out into full isosceles and drops shitbird #2. Shooting from retention is def a move one should incorporate into their drills.
Texans: well she gotta be one of my people. Canadian cowgirl:
she doesnt look texan, white for sure but her face is shaped weird more like a frenchy instead of a german/irish. definitely hot enough to fit in haha
She does say sorry after putting you 6 feet under
@@antoniousai1989 sorry not sorry
Alberta wants to be Texas so they wouldn't be too wrong
The ONLY time I'd find a gun-toting chick hot is if she was Canadian lol. I've known too many gun-toting American chicks. Sorry!
I swear seeing people make react and comment videos on the fields they specialize in on scenes from movies or games is just so cool. They show their wisdom and opinion on the subject and can better instruct and teach others what they really do. It's just nice to see this type of knowledge.
what's crazy to me is how she constantly has her finger in the trigger guard of her pistol, im no range/safety nazi either but kinda weird seeing a professional like her do it that many times in the span of one video
I also love that most of the experts featured are able to separate entertainment value (or comedy value) and accuracy in their field. Too often ordinary people kind of conflate the accuracy of something they know about with enjoyment of the story.

@@koopspook its a replica and if you ever drawn a gun from a holster its nearly impossible to pull it out with your finger on the side so I think thats why and she just didnt think to take it off after.
@@babiesdontpaytaxes.16 oh ok a replica. but going off of what you said about it being impossible tells me you either need a better holster, or you need to train more, start off slow with your finger straight

Omg Langley?? You’re from my back yard? That’s so cool! Well done!
She should have done Kevin Costner in Open Range. He was so fast, he shot about 10 people with a six shooter and didn't even need to reload.
That was a weird scene. If you look hard enough you can see that they actually play the same scene twice in a row but from two different perspectives. Its a really odd way to show it given its the only scene in the movie that does this repetition.
@@YeshuaHaMaschiah Ah the Arnie effect. Magical!
well in that case they should chose Chuck Norris movies.
I remember that. Super weird.
@@YeshuaHaMaschiah he is just commanding the ammo into the chamber "ged do da Shemba!"
Tom Cruise had a professional arms expert train him for that movie. That scene is highly regarded for the realism of the way he handles his gun as well as the acoustics of the scene.
Michael Mann and his realism 🙌
The only thing that prevents collateral for being a nine out of ten is the ending, which I thought was such an anti-climax. Otherwise, a solid 8/10, Mann is a genius with action set-pieces, dialogue and mise-en-scene. Thief, his early film with James Caan which I *think* served as a starting point or at least an inspiration for Heat is a fantastic film. And nothing much really happens in it!
@@vollsticks The movie would be perfect if right as the train is pulling from the station you see Vincent clinging to the back of the train and it cuts to black.
@@rebel_diamonds That would have been an absolutely *dope* ending! I love unresolved/"hanging in the air"-type endings, gets the imagination working overdrive!
@@vollsticks It's still great though
This was pretty awesome!
The videos of Keanu doing competition training is next level badass
Yeah he should probably be the one doing this video not her
I agree with the Cruise Scene in Collateral. I have always thought this was the most realistic gunfight I have scene in a movie. You can tell Cruise has had real training and has taken it seriously and practiced a lot
Good combat tuck
That comment serves to show, whether trained or not, that one hasn't been in a Gunfight. The only realism of that scene is that it's not animated. Aside from his slow actions there is no deliberacy and his defensive retention shot is poor on all levels yet shoehorned in then scene.

You would be just fine. She does not use live ammo in her line of work. Do not really have to be a dead shot to score in that type of shooting.

I have many Question, at the first: Exist an original gunslinger Holster? We can see how is the right thing for Quick und Accurat Shooting? Thanks for your Answers.
Perfect assessment.
"Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything. In a gunfight... You need to take your time in a hurry." by Wyatt Earp.
And be fearless. Utterly without concern what your opponent is doing
I believe it was said by Bill Hickok though. “Take your time, in a hurry”
@BenjaminTheRogue fast is fast
Plus the targets she shoots in comp are like 10 feet away. Pretty easy to hit at that range.
@@johnnypurdy9132 and with minimal power rounds, so even easier.
Funny thing is, most real old west duels were drunk guys shooting each other in the back.
funnier thing is,,when they did actually have a real gunfight, their guns where already in their hands and cocked ready to go,,,,,,they still missed a lot.
Well yeah, guns were banned from towns. Whatever happened there would be obscured by incredible amounts of smoke while two + people fired blindly while running for cover.
"Hold up, I'm outta bullets. Let's reload then try to kill each other again."
That's not a duel
@Lucid Ferret , you are aware that there were dualing laws for the purpose of duals right .
Love how it opens with, "this it told unrealistic" given the way quick draw shoot now.
I'd like to know what you think of the scene in Tombstone when Johnny Ringo ( Biehn) displays that awesome gun spinning motion in front of Doc Holliday in the saloon even though there's no shooting and Doc mocks him with his cup lol
I believe that what Val Kilmer was trying to portray was a technique that Doc Holiday was known for, in legend if not fact. He'd use his left hand to distract his opponent and obscure his right hand. There's a psychological aspect to this tactic. You control your opponent's timing as well as their focus. As they watch your hand and the cigarette your manipulating, you set a rhythm. Draw their focus to the right and left. This is supposed to have a semi-hypnotic effect that should slow their reactions. As their gaze follows your hand to their right side you fling your left elbow upward and rearward this will change their focus from your hand to your elbow and if they manage to get a shot off it will likely miss wide to your left side as a result.
Glad someone brought that up. There was never any videos of him quick drawing because of how long ago it was but Doc holliday was the best quick draw in the West and was known for being able to do things like what Val showed. I bet he was just as fast as this chick back then.
I was thinking this myself.
Doc Holiday also happened to shoot Johnny Ringo near the top of the head in real life, so his portrayal was pretty spot on with the angle of his gun
@@monkeymilk8060 What's the source on that? I've always read he died by suicide.
@Jim Manison believe Wyatt Earp said it in his book. But most people believe he lied about Doc killing him. I also believe he committed suicide.
Keanu trains constantly in true tactical shooting, not single-shot speed shooting. and does a fantastic job there are tons of videos of him at Tarren tactical training.
Not really combat shooting much more of a competition shooting style
It's "Taran Tactical" named after Taran Butler.
@@axleblevins3571 A tactical shooting is used to train MIlitary, Police, and security. and three gun follows that same training. I'd say Tactical is combat. the only difference between my "military Combat training and my tactical training was the gun in tactical was allowed to be more tricked out. but I still used my standard P226. operational marksmanship fundamentals and equipment selection are the same. malfunction work through speed and proficiency while maintaining cover. So uhm yeah tactical training is combat training.
Taran*
and what happened to Unforgiven and the Quick and the Dead?
Ma'am, I gotta say most folks will never go into harms way with a single action, but I have been so compelled. Never had to fire it, but the CQB draw that I practiced as the Westworld Training clip: thumbed for the first shot, with the left hand ready to fan if needed. *note* I realize some may question my choices, or even my sanity... and in hindsight I guess I do, too, but hey I was young and invincible. Be that as it may, that 7 1/2" Super Blackhawk full of 200gr Speer "Flying Ashtrays" was an attention getter when it was leveled, and no one ever argued with it. It saved my life twice, regardless of how modern it was not. Contrast this to a more recent incident where my micro .380 almost had to be fired to convince a knife wielder not to approach further. He didn't see the .380 at first, but he'd have taken notice of the .44!
What? No Festus Haggen.? One of the best ever.....great vid girl
I just to add that after Brandon Lee’s death, it’s very rare to see a gun pointed directly at another actor or stuntman. Even with blanks. It’s practically cinematic protocol nowadays
It wasn't blanks that killed Brandon Lee, it was a bullet lodged in the barrel from the previous firing.
@@thebluestig2654 Whiiiiich is why they don't aim at people, even with blanks. Because there can be a mistake and it not be a blank. Which was the point of the comment.
Yeah it used to be pointed guns at heads in just about every movie before that.
I think the guns used in john wick had a obstruction when he used blanks (and the guys who made the blanks explained that they are using blanks that don't produce any fireball)
I read a small news report from Hollywood back in the late 1980s, that a young actor had taken his prop gun to his hotelroom, then pretended to shoot himself in the head. The flash from the blank actually killed him.
Terrance Hill’s draw and slap is still a 10 for comedy in my book.
Might be an 11 out of 10, frankly.
@@TheDeconstructivist Let's say 12 out of 10
And he had no intention to shoot. So how he was holding the gun was purely for effect.
@@therealoldnewb1716 Sold.
I was thinking the same thing. The whole movie is a send up and still hilarious to this day.
The tombstone scene was done that way because that’s how doc actually shot
OK I love revolvers and this was information I enjoyed thank you !!!
In "What I learnt today", that fanning a revolver is a legit thing, rather than being pure Hollywood artistic license.
And that there are guns purpose built for it
It’s a thing that you can do, yes, but if I’m not mistaken it wasn’t actually done practically. I think that there are even famous gunslingers of the Old West decrying fanning and dual-wielding revolvers as nothing more than a parlor trick.
@@gustavskarlismikelsons4295 Yeah, Wyatt Earp: "The gun-fanner and hip-shooter stood small chance to live against a man who, as old Jack Gallagher always put it, took his time and pulled the trigger once." Earp did actually wear 2 guns for a re-draw instead of a reload, but he's adamant (In 1910 when that interview came from) that he always shot right handed, and just drew the second gun.
Wait until you try bumpfire on modern guns, or if you have the luck of slamfiring a shotgun (or the misfortune of having an SKS slamfire itself)

Love this song
Liked that you included the scifi genre in this vid.
I have used a revolver in real life for a long time.I used a 44 magnum.I used this a lot on Cattle. It is a heavy firearm and there is noway I could shoot this one handed with any degree of accuracy.I am in awe of Nicole Franks and her comfort in handling her pistol. As well as being very Beautiful to boot. Great stuff.
Do you shoot with your pelvis thrust forward?
"You might shoot your arm off" "Well you're a daisy if you do".
She makes this comment yet her shooting style places her right leg forward of the muzzle on just about every shot she takes.
I was just foolin!
Its not like Doc cared. Still a better way to go than what he had waiting for him.
@@myitbos1335 and yet she is the absolute proffessional. She is not shooting down across the plane of her leg, she is not trying to avoid herself with her shot. Tombstone is my favorite movie but ima trust the expert here.
@@espygaming5101 Yes, she is a professional and has probably shot 10k's of thousands of rounds - if not 100k's of thousands of rounds - perfecting her skills. As well as thousands and thousands and thousands of hours perfecting her different stances, different draws, different holsters. Some of the era's she's critiquing it was a different mind/ skill set for that time.
My mother would have loved this vid and this host, she was a huge cowboy movie fan and was a cowgirl at heart..to the point she was buried in her favorite cowboy boots and cowgirl dress.
Thats nice
That’s sweet
My condolences
When i searched for how to draw faster this was the result i wasnt looking for but a nice find
She should do more quick draw reviews. I'd like to see review The Quick and The Dead and Three Amigos.
Westworld scene was played right because that character started to notice that everything repeats in circles so he was confused a bit. Thats why he was sloppy.
not everyone fights everyday or practices enough either. there is room for a brainwashed robot who isn't looking for a fight to be sloppy when one so quickly escalates. Her criticizing Keanu was what got me. She either doesn't realize he could drop her or hasn't seen how extensive he was with actual tactical ability. it isn't all quick draw.
@@ryansizemore5064 "Doesn't realize he could drop her." Five bucks says she beats him on the draw. Also, what in the entirety of what she said would make you angry? She literally compared him to the quick drawing done in Colateral, explained his actions, and then praised him the rest of the critique. How did that get your hackles up? This also is a quick draw expert being asked to critique quick draw clips on their quick draw accuracy. This video is literally all quick draw.
@@ryansizemore5064 yeah, I thought her review of Keanu was funny considering how freaking awesome he is
@MoeSkids She's a woman who had the audacity to comment on what a man is doing. That's why he's upset.
@@ryansizemore5064 U drunk?
Collateral is spot on in terms of how you would want to draw your sidearm and then transition into that modified weaver stance. Tom does this exceptionally well! At the distance that he is to his targets, index shooting is very viable and allows for even quicker shots to be fired. Michael Mann, the director is arguably the only director who really cares about providing an authentic experience involving firearms on-screen. He also directed HEAT (1995) with De Niro and Pachino. The way that firearms are handled in that film is excellent! I'm not at all surprised to see Collateral get 10/10.
Heat was good EXCEPT Al Pacino - everyone else did great. You could see they practiced (except Al)
That whole movie was 10/10--one of my faves, and one of the reasons that I can never write Tom Cruise off as an actual actor!
That's because Tom Cruise is very much into realism and he really shoots the two guys. The production then sent flowers to their families too.
Mozambique shooting drill. Two in chest one to head🙂
She makes some good critiques on some of the scenes with single-action revolvers, but there were some elements she left out and she doesn't seem to know much about manipulating autoloading pistols (like in the Collateral and John Wick scenes). Tom Cruise was shooting from a retention position right out of the holster because he was in close quarters and wanted to keep the gun closer to him to make it harder for the muggers to grab or take his pistol (once he created a little distance, he got his support hand to the gun - Keanu doesn't do this in the John Wick clip because his targets are all about 10 feet away from him. Her talk about Keanu's footwork is somewhat accurate, but not entirely. His front foot was forward because that's how he was standing when he noticed the baddies - he immediately goes in to a bladed "fighting" stance with his non-dominant foot forward as a skilled shooter or boxer would. Her knowledge on single-action revolvers and old-west style shooting seems unparalleled and she's clearly skilled in shooting quickly, but she specializes in quick-draw shooting with a single-action revolver for competition/exhibition doesn't seem to have even a vague concept of modern autoloading pistols or defensive shooting tactics and has no business giving critiques on it. Also, a lot of her critiques on the western scenes don't take into account that some of them are spiced up for dramatic effect and just calls them inherently bad. Doc Holliday shoots under his cigarette hand because that's how good he is (in the movie). He's clearly been gunslinging for years and years, he probably knows where his arm is in relation to his pistol, whether he's looking at the gun or his target. "You might shoot your arm off" - No, you won't. You might shoot through it and get some bad powder burns, but a .44 caliber slug would not sever an arm. Sorry, I had to say something. A lot of people take what's on the internet as fact and she is being presented as an expert of sorts. She got a few things wrong here and there are already too many gun myths floating around.
Duel her if you’re so good
This was super interesting!
For Clint Eastwood, not only did he have a lot of cut out at the top of the holster he also had custom built steel lined holsters. And built for his specific gun. Thus, the draw stroke as well as slipping the gun into the holster after a few twirls is much easier.
Definitely not a video I'd expect them to make, but I learned a lot from it! And dang, she's fast!
Everything you learned, is wrong. This was terrible.
@@springbloom5940 how so?
@@springbloom5940 Yes, I'm sure you know much better than multiple world champion about optimal quickdraw technique.
@@michaellopate4969 Having been in an actual gunfight, I can say without a doubt, that I know much more about it than someone who cosplays with a csp gun. Even the best cap gun cosplayer.
More on the tombstone clip it is worth noting that the gun with the exposed firing pin was Johnny Ringos to show that he made the first move and Doc got the shot off first.
Good stuff. I was hoping the shootout between Raylon Givens and Boon in Justified would be included in this list...curious what her take would be on it. I thought it was sweet
Damn, when she drew during the Collateral clip the frame rate of her camera couldn't keep up lol. That's crazy, I mean it's not a great camera but still it's amazing how fast these people can do that.
I think the connection went up and down throughout the video and it was dropping frames at that moment which made it look so impressive. TBH this is actually a cinematic trick from the old days Westerns. Just happened right at the perfect time for her by accident
keep in mind as well, most films are actually only shot in the 24 to 40 frame rate area, only recently are we starting to see 60FPS breaking out as data storage tech advances. The human eye see's roughly 50-70FPS for reference, with stuff like substance abuse, brain injuries, brain development, etc. being responsible for the variation. I saw a pretty cool study by the USAF that within about 15 miles the measured "FPS" of the human eye played a more important role than vision quality, as pilots are trained to spot motion, not planes.
I wasn’t paying attention at all. Them Canadian thighs!!!
to be honest im not impressed with theyre draw.or hers , leaning back like that is not even proper gun slinger shooting. " I mean why not just lay down flat and pull the trigger and call it the GOD of all draws
this is just to fckng hilarious
Terence Hill's drawing may be a 5 out of 10, but his slapping is certainly 10 out of 10
I love the Trinity movies. I agree, this scene was not about drawing but about slapping.
Both 10 out of 10, Trinity is Trinity😁 And it was just to show how fast movement, that close accuracy is spot on anyway.
Terence has an official website where he has answered questions on his movies over the years and he states they went out of their way to hire the best military and professional shooters to be as authentic as possible while adding a bit of comedy, so his drawing is very authentic where she is bad mouthing it. She gives her opinions without actually doing research on what's going on. Same with her other video where she knocks Clint Eastwoods Dollars trilogy draws yet all 3 of them in Good, Bad, Ugly were former military sharpshooters in real life. Clint is a fully trained sharpshooter. I can't agree with half of her opinions because she may hold records, but they are all for standing still Target shooting for contests where these scenes shes judging are more realistic life and death. There is a huge difference between the 2 situations. Plus she geeks out over Tom Cruise and tells you she is biased which is not good when you're supposed to be doing a neutral review.
She complains about him aiming upward, funny thing is his barrel is pointed right at the heart. Kill shot. So how can you say it's sloppy or off?
@@mml1019 ..and to top it off, 8m subs but filmed on a potato cam? 1/10
How dare you attack my favorite western ever lunger! 😂
I doubt people in the old west used modern quickdraw techniques, so the "realistic" part goes right out the window. Quickdraw techniques evolved as part of the SPORT. It's like the evolution of every other sport in the world. A modern boxer probably believes that olden-days boxers are terrible. Same applies here.
She’s so smooth with it, I love how fast she’s able to draw her gun, definitely hope they do more videos with her 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾
Imagine yourself falling on hard times, and out of desperation you decide to break into a home and it turns out the home is hers and she just got back from a competition where she came in 2nd place and was not happy...just imagine.
Second place? Maybe you’ll make it out the hospital alive.
Can't be worse than the guys who broke into a house where a woman was home alone, roughed her up a bit then tied her up...only to realize they broke into Dolph Lundgren's house. Or the idiot TV thief who had the terrible timing of stealing a TV right as Brandon Lee had come home.
Say goodbye to your junk.
And she's dating Akuma from Street Fighter.
Grenade pin out
The one thing you're not taking into account on that second Django clip is that that was a battle not a showdown or target shoot. There's reflex and stress associated things that have to be considered
Cool video and alog of new info for me to take in. Its a cool sport and damn, she is so beautiful to. =)
"Sloppy, ugly, and unsafe" pretty much sums up Val Kilmer's rendition of Doc Holliday. He's shooting under his arm because he is cavalierly holding his cigarette in that hand and, as a matter of style, is going to continue to calmly smoking it after he does the deed and says the quip.
Glad to know that Clint Eastwood shoots like a real gunslinger. Makes me feel more better to know that he is my hero.

Well he was in the military for a bit. He knows how to shoot.
Think she forgot that point shooting is an actual shooting technique for stressful shooting situations such as someone mugging you at point blank range you’re not gonna aim correctly you’re just going to point and shoot hence the name
indeed. She was a bit harsh on Terence Hill for it too. Since he draws a long barreled , heavier gun using a long , smooth and rather fast motion ( even if you eliminate the speeding up ), he actually deserves more than an average 5/10.
Keaneau Reeves is actually a very accomplished sport shooter!
I believe Keanu actually did a lot of firearms training for the John Wick movies

So true, the are many old gunfight stories of fast shooters that missed all the shots just to hit the dirt after. Most of the historical famous gunslingers didn’t even do fast draws. 🤠
@@JJ7show Quickdraw stories are mostly made up movie myth and bullshite
@@JJ7show Yeah. In many showdown movies scenes, _both_ shooters will get shots off, but only one will go down.
Nicole does that silly lean-back fast draw looking at a timer. I worked for years performing fast draw old west style and your opponents were other performers vs a timer. Bob Munden was sent free tickets to the park on more than one occasion and never showed. Incredible as he was he knew it was not his game.
Bob was a great and talented person. We spoke with him a lot and watched his performances at the End of Trail and other Old West events that we sold our carved grips and gripstrap replacements to those who wanted to replace their Italian copy look brass for American steel of the 1873 SAAs.
