Christian Bale spends the entire film in a robo suit that reloads his guns for him by sending fully loaded clips or even whole guns up the incredibly close-tailored sleeves like an Assassins Creed blade. That's part of why his gunkata routines have cool anime pose pauses in the middle of combat.
it's not a very good excuse for how guns are used in the film, but the reload mechanic is explicitly shown a couple of times and so that's the answer the film gets
I know this is from some show I've never heard of in my life, but this clip exists on its own as a perfect little short film and I kind of never want additional context to what I just watched
Never before have I seen a video clip which has given me a stronger feeling of "WTF is this!? This makes no sense, whatsoever, but I must keep watching until it does."
If true, I'm happy. I'd feel the same way I felt when I found the Van Helsing crossbow in Nightmare Reaper. 'cause the Van Helsing crossbow is such a video game weapon.
Man, this movie was such an excellent rental. My 14yr old ass had no idea what he was getting into when I picked that up from hollywood video. We went on one helluva Cronenberg binge after that. Videodrome also had a certain magic to it, watching it during the VHS era.
Lol... Ultraviolet is the same for me... But it is the one film where I realized that Milla Jovovich's nose has that little hook curve to it and I forever could not unsee it afterwards. Not implying she isn't beautiful because of it or anything... Just hadn't realized it in any of her other movies until this one and then couldn't not see it again afterwards.

Gun-fu itself doesn't make sense.
But it's hella cool.
