yes Vietnam era, I think because you could fit a silencer and pad the bolt so it didn't make much noise.

This movie marked the return of John Wayne to work after having a cancerous lung and two ribs removed just four months earlier. He insisted on doing some of his own stunts to show the public that the illness hadn't slowed him down. Dean Martin later said of John Wayne, "Someone else would have laid around, feeling sorry for himself, for a year. But Duke, he just doesn't know how to be sick. He's recuperating the hard way. He's two loud speaking guys in one. Me, when people see me, they sometimes say, 'Oh, there goes Perry Como.' But there's only one John Wayne, and nobody makes any mistakes about that".
The gun battle was loosely based on the real-life story of the five Marlow brothers. These were five brothers whose parents had established a homestead in Oklahoma territory, The father was a doctor and the sons raised horses that they sold to the army. Four of the brothers were falsely accused of horse theft, were arrested and brought to Graham, Texas. The remaining brother arrived in hope of proving their innocence, but he was arrested too. After several attempts by a mob to lynch them, they were chained together and were being transported to Weatherford, Texas for trial. At Dry Creek, at the edge of the town of Graham, the mob attacked them. The brothers took the deputies' guns and a battle ensued, much as was portrayed in this film. Two of the brothers were killed. The others escaped. One was later poisoned and then shot in an attempt to make it seem he was shot avoiding capture. The killer was himself charged with murder. In 1891, during the trial of members of the mob, the judge had high praise for the Marlows for their courage and boldness, saying that it would be remembered in story and song. The remaining two brothers moved to Colorado and became well-respected lawmen.

It was shot exclusively in Queensland, Australia.
The sharks were also given broken spines and fins which allowed animators to have the sharks perform erratic, jagged, and inelegant movements. "We wanted them to swim as if they were zombie sharks", adds visual effects supervisor Patrick Ledda. At one point, the sharks take on a rowboat holding Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites), biting at the craft and jumping out of the water, a task made more difficult by the fact that Depp and Thwaites were shot practically on a stage.

will pit this against Man Hunt(1941), starring Walter Pidgeon and George Sanders later as its same story but given the Hollywood treatment.
Manhunt, 1941. Walter Pidgeon stars..

When Thorndike (Pidgeon) is captured, the George Sanders character inspects his belongings including his rifle, which bears the maker's name of "Hammond and Hammond, Bond Street". There was no such gunsmith in the UK and it seems likely the name is borrowed from a very famous gunsmith called Holland and Holland of Bruton Street, which is situated nearby.
This was one of several films mentioned in the September 1941 Senate subcommittee hearings on Propaganda in Motion Pictures, where isolationist senators Nye, Clark and Wheeler attacked Hollywood for "war-mongering." Senator Nye, who testified before the committee, had not seen most of the films mentioned. The subcommittee did not reconvene after September due to the attack on Pearl Harbor in December. The featurette included on the 2009 DVD release contends that the making of war-mongering films would be a violation of the Neutrality Act, which focused on restricting arms sales to belligerent nations, regardless of their status of aggressor or defender.
Terminator Genisys, 2015.

Arnold Schwarzenegger worked out for six months, about three hours a day, before shooting started, by which time he had the exact same body weight and muscle measurements as he had 12 years previously while shooting Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003). Coincidentally, Schwarzenegger had done the exact same thing prior to Terminator 3, which had put him on the same weight and measurements as in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), so despite his age, his dimensions have remained fairly constant throughout the series.
Emilia Clarke described working with Arnold Schwarzenegger as "definitely quite surreal. Everything you know about him on screen he brings in real life as well". She grew up on his films and idolized him and couldn't believe she was working with him. Clarke first met Schwarzenegger at the read-through and inwardly started geeking out. When she first heard him say "I'll be back" it was a major moment.
Avanti!, 1972.
