Easy Day Short Film

[jetfire]

Pretty rad little short about police work.

bonus points for no annoying shakeycam during action scenes.

In first!


Just kidding. If more fight scenes in Hollywood movies were like this, I'd watch more Hollywood action movies.

While I'm sure you've seen Act of Valor (or at least heard of it), have you checked out Sinners and Saints? Not much shakey-cam in that one, either, and had Sonny Puzikas as part of the cast and advising (this was prior to the WTF Panteao clip and the shoothouse incident). Acting and plot are, well, eh, but they weren't flat out horrible, so it was still a hugely entertaining 90 minutes.

Oh, and if you dig foreign films, try out the Tropa de Elite series. Not only great action, but pretty good acting and plot.

A bit of background....http://blogs.militarytimes.com/gearscout/2013/12/17/easy-day-introducing-costa-media-group/

"Costa Ludus has launched a new business unit called Costa Media Group. Their objective is to develop a series of engaging, cinematic commercials that showcase products from their firearms and tactical clients in videos.

The first production, Easy Day, has just been posted this morning and features Costa and crew taking down bad guys using Knight’s Armament rifles and accessories, SureFire lights and suppressors, Aimpoint optics, Salient Arms Battle Arms Development safeties, WarSport rifles, Magpul furniture, Raven Concealment Holsters, RED Cameras and several beards."

[...] Sinners and Saints? [...] Tropa de Elite series

Thanks, I'll check them out.

[jetfire]

Don't forget to tune in for the next episode, called "A considerable amount of paperwork" where Costa uses his Surefire tactical pen to fill out IAB forms and tactically asks for his union rep.

;-)

And the third episode, where he strategically coordinates an explanation to the rental car company as to exactly why their newly-tactical minivan has bullet holes, front-end damage, and beard fur everywhere...

"Pretty rad little short about police work."……...:confused:

I think you meant pretty rad little short about fictional movie police work. That wasn't like "police work", but what do I know..;).

All this will do is let down some poor kid when he signs up to be a cop, and it isn't like that. I remember how disappointed I was when I worked graveyard with Tue/Wed off for most of my career, ate at the same Denny's every night, and there was not a single issue Ferrari, or a boat with an Alligator like I thought there would be. But I did get a primer grey and bondo 5.0 Mustang and a bad interior to pick up transvestite crack whores when I worked Vice. Also, no pastel linen suits, I dressed like a construction worker.

Sounds like sour grapes, sir. You should've gone to Costa's school of 'Easy Day', hot chicks/hot cars school of policemen who can't read so good :p

How's that porn name generator go? First name is of your first pet and last name is the name of the first street you lived on?? He had a pet fish named Vincent and lived on Rocco Rd?? That's the bet I'm making :cool:

So the lesson there is to go be an actor, not a cop. There's no glamour in police work.

He actually does teach pelvic-girdle shots in carbine classes. After one training evolution some of my classmates were jokingly calling me "King Dick-shooter". Fortunately (or not) I quickly earned a new nickname when I kept reverting to prior training on carbine mag changes instead of doing it using Costa's admittedly-faster HSLD method...

No, the lesson is don't get in the short line at City Hall with a big smirk like I did, and instead get in the Fireman line. Chicks and kids dig them, they get to sit around in recliners watching the big screen and eat ice cream waiting to roll code from the station. That is when they aren't washing and waxing their red truck and red boat with the cool "I'm a Fireman" license plate and working out so they are all ready for the annual calendar shoot.

Bitter about 3/4 size of a real person Costa, not a chance. Bitter about Firemen…….VERY;).

Of course with a "Sam Wish" porn name, all I got going is the porn stache.

Nyeti has created a space where I feel emotionally comfortable admitting in public that my own brief foray into Law Enforcement was inspired by Miami Vice.

Thank you Nyeti.

I did once capture a wayward alligator. I know that's not a big deal for you Florida types, but it made us feel special in Oregon. No linen suits. No Ferraris, though I did get to crack up a Crown Vic, hence the "brief" part.

I hate to rag on Costa, but good grief. There's this line between training and entertainment that I feel is getting blurrier all the time, and now this?

Plus, while I hate to rag on a fellow former Coastie, listening to the guy talk gives me a head ache. It's not a rifle, it's a weapons system. You don't "go over there" you "make movement...."

[Lester Polfus]

Oh, and I wonder if I can land any roles as Snoopy Newman....

[TCinVA]

So in various places I'm seeing this video being criticized for various things, and it's made me wonder about something I'm genuinely interested to know the answer to:

Is Costa's video any different in principle or execution, in anyone's view, to the former action guys who have gone on to consult with video game companies producing the latest and greatest military/LE shooter?

I was awesome in Vice. I was a tranny crack whore's dream.

Now as far as car abuse goes...:cool:. Cops can do some insane stuff in other people's cars. We are like the Honey Badgers of the vehicle world. I made an instructor cry in pure fear during Emergency Vehicle Operations training during the road course pursuit. Apparently, using the accelerator only to get through turns and no braking was frowned on, along with "it's not my car" as being my risk assessment process.

So, I didn't get a recliner, but I have been in stuff that made Ronin look tame, and got to testify in court about being in a high speed pursuit in reverse....until executing a textbook J turn. Crown Vic's...the Honey Badger Ferrari.

LOL. One of my first shift lieutenants told me once, "There are two kinds of people who make a living on their backs; prostitutes, and firemen."

He was referring, of course, to the fact that if they aren't eating, working out, polishing their trucks, or actually fighting a fire, they are zonked out in the rack... on the clock, of course.:D

It hit me like a scene from a larger movie. Like Peart the Poet wrote: That's Entertainment. So I'm willing to live with bad tactics that generate drama and tension, because that's a script problem and really good writing is actually hard. What pisses me off are the little things like grip and finger discipline and ridiculously obvious flinching on 25yd head shots - stuff that the actors could fix with a generic 3-day class. Not hard at all and would give obvious visual benefit, plus a certain depth to the acting.

/rant

[Slavex]

in movies and TV shows actors typically flinch like crazy because they are trying to show recoil. The blank guns have almost zero recoil, directors and actors think it looks better if you are reacting to the gun going bang, than just standing there with no reaction. This translates into those horrible flinches we see onscreen.

[MDS]

So, who's idea was it that recoil makes the gun go down, like the shooter is throwing the bullet? I love the walking dead, but am constantly cringing at that. All those crappy details could be realistically acted out if the actor had a decent 3-day class recently - after 1200 rounds of coached shooting, the actor would know what recoil management looks like, and could exaggerate it if it's an overacting kind of film. I've never trained with Costa, but from what I've seen, he might make a great Hollywood shooting coach...

I've trained with Costa, and I think he'd make an excellent Hollywood shooting coach... except everybody would be shooting with the c-clamp grip and doing mag changes that looked like they were straight out of the Magpul videos. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but it's what you'd end up with.

Use some creativity, dude. You could easily justify calling yourself The Sirloin Highway. And that name is nearly as awesome as eating your first pet.

I don't know him nor do I have any negative feelings about him, he's probably a cool dude, but I see this kinda like the Costa action figure. Yeah I know it was for charity or whatever, but it seemed like PR to me. Same goes for these videos. I'll probably continue watching these short videos, I'm easily entertained by guns and shooting.

Costa has straight-up said that this is an equipment commercial. Personally, I think it's an interesting way to generate interest in sponsored equipment -- but I also don't think this first video was particularly effective at highlighting the products.

Perhaps the next one will have more product close-ups and less dick-shooting... unless, of course, pelvic girdle shots become the punchline for every Costa Media production. :)

I like Chris. We have a good time bagging on each other. Here is the reality, he has gone from tactical trainer to tactical entertainer. If that is where he wants to go with business and how he wants to make a living, great. I wish him success. If people are taking tactics from t.v, movies and other media, it is amateurish and stupid. Many of us were influenced by entertainment when we were newbies….you should grow out of it, especially when your job involves carrying a gun for a living.

Essentially, if you are stupid enough to base your TTP's off a Costa commercial, the Hurt Locker, Miami Vice, or Zero Dark Thirty, then it is what it is. There have been very few good movies for this stuff. Way of the Gun comes to mind, but most are a joke. I have worked the gun side of a movie set and media photo shoots, and reality is very second to selling the product or to what is entertaining.

You are ignoring the Costa fan club that practically want to know what brand of under wear he is wearing during his various movies.

So though for people like us that don't spend as much time on the equipment, we probably don't notice the brands. But the gear queers that love Costa will watch the video on slow motion pausing and blowing parts up to figure out exactly all the gear used that isn't mentioned in the behind the scenes videos and posts.

Personally I think Costa is a good dude, this fan club, not so much.

Fair point, and highly amusing when you consider that this crowd instead offered up a screen-cap of the Pelvic Shot Heard Round The World...

[TheTrevor]

I have worked the gun side of a movie set and media photo shoots, and reality is very second to selling the product or to what is entertaining.

And therein lies the problem: what's visually flashy, exciting and effective at selling product has only the sketchiest relationship to the real world. This has been true since people started writing dramatic descriptions of raids, fights, duels, wars, etc... so, all the way back to Beowulf times. And when the director does cater to the gun/sword/etc nerds, the result is frequently unrealistic-looking, slightly boring or both.

Keeping that in mind, though, the main thing that bugs me about this video is how Our Hero leaves his team behind, one of whom is presumably his partner, and goes after the bad guys solo. It would have been easier to categorize most of the other stuff as dramatic license if I hadn't spent pretty much the whole 3-on-1 shootout scene going "WTF? Where's his partner? WTF?"

[PPGMD]

Heh. I humbly submit that it is un-possible to take a Costa Ludus course (as I have done) without being constantly aware of such folks.

I will admit that I've haven't been to one of his classes.

No, the lesson is don't get in the short line at City Hall with a big smirk like I did, and instead get in the Fireman line. Chicks and kids dig them, they get to sit around in recliners watching the big screen and eat ice cream waiting to roll code from the station. That is when they aren't washing and waxing their red truck and red boat with the cool "I'm a Fireman" license plate and working out so they are all ready for the annual calendar shoot.

Bitter about 3/4 size of a real person Costa, not a chance. Bitter about Firemen…….VERY;).

Of course with a "Sam Wish" porn name, all I got going is the porn stache.You just described our Fire Department to a tee. Must be a pandemic mindset. I've always said, the most dangerous person on the road is a 'volunteer' fire fighter on their was to the station for station coverage.

Heh. Friend of mine is a career po-po down in TX that just started doing the volunteer firefighting gig on the side. I straight up asked him "Now, you've been running code at work pretty much your entire adult life, but the first time you did it on the real life fire truck was still a pretty big deal, wasn't it?"

He allowed as how it was. :D

The video is good marketing for a small NC company like Warsport (same for his leg rig that is made by another NC company...HSGI). Probably not as much for the bigger companies other than selling to the fan club.

True enough. i think this kind of advertisement can be pretty effective as long as it is associated as a "brand X" commercial, even if they never say it in the commercial. Look at the BMW Films series. Biggest problem they have with this stuff is that the product isn't visually distintive enough. Every AR15 look pretty much alike to anyone who isn't completely dialed in to this stuff.

Dude you don't know the worst of it. So Savage throws a fit in the middle of the fight scene and starts shrieking I CAN'T I CAN'T I CAN'T..... and locks himself in his trailer and won't come out. Rod (the director) asks me to go to makeup where they dress me as John and we shoot the scene. It turns out so good that they also ask me to dress up as Saemi, the little Japanese actress, and shoot the scene again with John since he trusted me to swing a katana by his face and not her. Saemi is the one who Cary accused me of cock blocking. I didn't. It was a fair contest with his versus mine and mine won.

Pepper Amanita reporting in....sounds more like a stripper name than a porn name but I guess it can go either way...

[SouthNarc]

Perhaps as a re-release they could sell more of the DVDs if they were a version with Mr. Narc giving commentary throughout the movie.


So there's a scene in the movie where Saemi and Cary rappel into a warehouse full of bad guys. They wanted me to do the rappell since I had already dressed up as Saemi. No problem! Rod however insisted that my wig be left out of the ponytail that I wanted it to be in for safety reasons. Now...this wig is long. Like Ian Astbury from The Cult long. I didn't like the idea of all that hair falling into the D ring and figure 8 while I was going down that rope. I lost that argument and sure enough, about halfway down my neck wrenched violently to the side as the wig wrapped up into the figure 8 and was torn completely off my head where it was bobby pinned, locking me firmly mid-way down.

This was about 150 ft. in the air and I ended up being stuck up there for over an hour. An NOPD SWAT officer finally helped me get down while the crew wrung their hands.

This is easily the most entertaining thread of the year.

So Craig,

What size dress DO you wear?

[Tamara]

"So, what'd you do today?"

"I'd tell you, but it wouldn't make any sense."

All I could think of was the Indian tightrope walker who lost his life in a similar accident, (though he was not cross dressing)

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2316371/Sailendra-Nath-Roy-ponytail-stunt-death-world-record-bid-cross-Teesta-River-zip-wire.html




A stuntman died yesterday during a world record attempt as he tried to cross a river on a zip-wire attached only to his hair.

Sailendra Nath Roy, 50, was half way through the stunt when his ponytail became stuck in the wheeler of the rope and he was left hanging in mid-air for about 25 minutes.

Despite desperate attempts to free himself, it is believed Mr Roy then suffered a major cardiac arrest and died.

I would totally put money into a Kickstarter campaign to have SouthNarc do the "Mystery Science Theater" thing to this movie.

Man, I thought this thread had everything in it a few days back, so I checked out. But I must say I second, third and fourth the above suggestion.

Of course, we'd have to change it to something classy like "Mystery Narc Theater 39200"* or perhaps just use SN's porn name.

*Separate that so it's thirty-nine-two-hundred. Seemed like the best random guess of a zip code in Jackson if that's where SN worked.

Besides the aforementioned perception of cock-blocking, another reason for the enmity between me and Cary was Sven. Sven Ole-Thorsen that is. If you don't know who he is if you can remember back to the original Conan, Sven was Thulsa Doom's clean shaven henchman that wielded the big war hammer.

Sven and I got on instantly and he was a big part of the match-making between Saemi and I. Plus I would work out with Sven in the little BS gym at the hotel he was staying at in the Garden District. Really cool getting coaching on technical lifts from a guy that was good buds with Arnold. Plus Sven needed some dude time as Grace Jones had just broken up with him. He described her nether parts as like "...the mouth of a leopard". He had this MASSIVE opal ring that she had given him that he used to twist around his finger when he talked about her.

So one day after working out, Sven and I are hanging out at the pool drinking scotch when Cary walks out wearing a Speedo and carrying a gym bag. Sven sneers to me over this 70 ring sized cigar in his teeth, "Look at this fag".

Cary get's in the pool and ties himself off to one end with this weird looking rubber band contraption and put's on some even stranger looking hand flippers. He starts dog paddling and doing all this Lamaze breathing.

Sven almost falls out of the chair laughing and starts throwing ice at Cary.


"LIFT SOME WEIGHTS YOU WOMAN!! YOU F*#%@ING PANSY!! YOU LOOK LIKE ESTHER WILLIAMS!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

It dawned on me right then that we had almost killed the entire bottle of Johnny Walker Black. Not that I really care for blends, but Sven was buying.

Cary leaps out of the pool and glares at both of us and stomps back to his room.

Sven shrugs and says "He would've never lasted at mine and Arnolds old gym"

Here's a vid with Arnold and Sven.

I cannot find the words to express how much I want Mr Douglas to purchase a movie studio of his own, and release a series of films.......

It would not only get me back in an actual movie theater, I'd even camp out for the premiere like one of those jobless Star Wars nerds.

No one in my household is sure what that means, but all of the women immediately asked their husbands if that would apply to them...

I can't add anything valuable to this thread but someone should seriously do an episode of really bad lip reading with Costa's video. Just for fun.

While I got a great snicker from Craig's story, I thought about it and I think I would have been surprised is Grace Jones privates didn't look like the Mouth of a Leopard. Thanks for confirming what I just knew had to be true.

I'd like to see 'em make a version featuring the typical inept and incredibly stupid private citizen dude (who naturally lacks good judgement being a private citizen and all), who intervenes in a mass shooting spree and somehow, despite the fact that he or she is not an agent of the state and despite the fact that there's simply no way a private citizen dude is capable of successfully doing so without making matters worse, manages to put the killer down in fine fashion, in spite of the wisdom of our elected superiors.

All kinds of neat toys could be used, so the ad content angle is there.

The Final Exam

Peterson, Dunhill...

The screen play is easy -

Opening scene, camera shows students sweating and sighing, working on their final exam. The Professor (English cut suit - I'm not skinny enough to pull off Italian cut) has his hands in his head. He sighs, then grumbles to himself "I'm watching Idiocracy unfold before my eyes."

- in the distance - POP POP POP

None of the students notice, but The Professor does. Then silence.

- closer this time - POP POP, muffled screams are heard from the 4th floor of Kettering Lab.

This time the students heard, jerked from the hellish final exam in a state of stupor are thoughtless, numb to anything not beer or bong or video game. The Professor thinks to himself, "I must live through this if only to fail these empty headed beer processors." He stands, touching the Wilson TSG at 4:30 under his jacket. A quick glance at the Breitling Blackbird on his wrist, will there be time to make it to the M3 for his KAC (camera shows the fully pimped AR in the trunk)?

- fast paced gun porn action -

The Professor lights up a bowl of Scottish Mixture in a well loved Dunhill billiard, surveying the area.

I prefer the antagonists to be disgruntled jihading former students that I've failed out because they are droolingly stupid. I'd just assume no groin shots, seems a little low brow for this type of film.

I would also tolerate Clive Owen playing me.



The rest writes itself.

That might.... MIGHT... start to atone for the monstrosity he did called "Shoot 'Em Up". In addition to being an incredibly anti-gun movie from start to finish, it also made Monica Bellucci look... bad.

Besides the aforementioned perception of cock-blocking, another reason for the enmity between me and Cary was Sven. Sven Ole-Thorsen that is. If you don't know who he is if you can remember back to the original Conan, Sven was Thulsa Doom's clean shaven henchman that wielded the big war hammer.

Sven and I got on instantly and he was a big part of the match-making between Saemi and I. Plus I would work out with Sven in the little BS gym at the hotel he was staying at in the Garden District. Really cool getting coaching on technical lifts from a guy that was good buds with Arnold. Plus Sven needed some dude time as Grace Jones had just broken up with him. He described her nether parts as like "...the mouth of a leopard". He had this MASSIVE opal ring that she had given him that he used to twist around his finger when he talked about her.

So one day after working out, Sven and I are hanging out at the pool drinking scotch when Cary walks out wearing a Speedo and carrying a gym bag. Sven sneers to me over this 70 ring sized cigar in his teeth, "Look at this fag".

Sven almost falls out of the chair laughing and starts throwing ice at Cary.



It dawned on me right then that we had almost killed the entire bottle of Johnny Walker Black. Not that I really care for blends, but Sven was buying.

Cary leaps out of the pool and glares at both of us and stomps back to his room.

Sven shrugs and says "He would've never lasted at mine and Arnolds old gym"
