Adam’s Savage favorite movie weapon

    Pause. Pause. Pause. Stop right there. Notice this is You’re going to love this. There. Voila. The GF1. One of my favorite weapons in film history. So, the first thing he’s going to demonstrate is that the bullets all go to the same location. And he’s actually firing a blank firing weapon. See the black spot? Yeah. That is the ejection for a blank firing AK-47’s ejection port. Oh, no kidding. And it’s just a big hole that shows up for this shot and you never see it again. Look, that’s the magazine of the AK-47 sticking out down here. Wow. And you can see it. You can see the corner of it sticking out. It’s Yep. And they built a full AK-47 blank firing weapon into this thing. And the very first shot is a visual effects shot. I feel like they filmed that and then digitally just crunched it. The front and the tail there, it gets kind of like digitally wiped in, right? It reminds me of that shot from Lost in Space when Joey from Friends turns around and the helmet comes over. How you doing, Joey from Friends? I know. Not the vlog. That’s his name. That’s his name. Oldman did say this was the most fun day on set. My favorite.

    The Zorg ZF-1 weapon from the movie The Fifth Element has become one of the most iconic weapons in movie history. So much so, that Adam Savage has build several replicas over the years. In this episde of VFX artists react he shares some bts insights with the Corridor Crew.

    1. In Australia, we have a tv channel that plays Fifth Element 5 times in a row on May 5th – unfortunately I don’t remember off the top of my head what time they start the marathon, but May 5th is about the only time I watch the movie and I still don’t think I’ve watched the whole thing 😂

    2. The first time I could recognize girls made me feel funny in a good way was when I watched the fifth element 😂. Little kindergarten me was so in love with leeloo.

    3. In the early episodes of Mythbusters Adam always reminded me of Sid in toy story. Idk why, but I got really bad vibes from him. I've always wondered if his sister was telling the truth…
