__TOC__<br clear="all">

==Characteristics==

The Johnson rifle was developed in 1939 by Melvin Johnson, who was promoting the weapon design to the U.S. Army prior to World War II. Variants of the rifle were delivered to the U.S. Marines fighting in the Pacific, however, the overall design for a semiautomatic Infantry rifle went to (and stayed with) the [[M1 Garand]] Rifle which had been formally adopted in 1937. The Johnson was formally adopted in small numbers in 1941, thus the rifle was then called the M1941 Johnson Rifle. It had a unique rotary 10 round magazine, however the recoil operation (versus the gas operation of the Garand) required a moving barrel, which made it unsuitable for bayonet usage and also made the weapon a bit more fragile than the sturdy Garand. A light machine gun variant was also used and shipped to some client nations abroad as well as used in small numbers by Marines and U.S Special Forces in the 1950s-1960s.

Firehawk: typo

== Torkarev Look-alike ==

After the horse race at Zorin's estate Bond is captured and held at bay by one of Zorin's men with what looks like a Tokarev TT-33 variant. See:

Since it has a safety-catch I would say it's a [http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Tokarev_TT-33_Pistol#Norinco_Type_54_.2F_Model_213 Norinco Model 213] but I am not 100% sure because of the form of the hand-grip.

== How is this a science fiction movie? ==

:::Not all of them are pure science-fiction. For example, the films ''[[GoldenEye]]'' and ''[[World Is Not Enough, The|The World Is Not Enough]]'' use existing (or at least scientifically proven possible) technologies as the main plot devices.

== Your Dislikes to this Bond film ==

Don't get me wrong I am a huge James Bond fan, but I really hated this movie and I will tell you my 7 main reasons.

1. Roger Moore is very close to 60 in this movie.

2. I really liked Max Zorin as a villian as well as his henchwomen, but his henchmen are so boring.

3. Good Paris chase scene, but very stupid San Fransico car chase.

4. No gunfights between Bond and Zorin or his men what so ever.

5. Zorin going on a killing spree is SO UNBOND!

6. Not enough seriousness. &

7. Some of the action and San Fransico scenes could have been better.

These are my 7 main reasons for hating this Bond film. What are yours??? [[User:60.241.135.241|User 60.241.135.241 ]]

:::I don't know. I really hate it when anonymous users spell San Francisco "San Fransico" ;) How gay is that? [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 06:18, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

:The fact that geriatric James Bond had a love scene with a man in this film. (Maybe his eyes were going.) And the fact that the plot is basically a rehash of Goldfinger. But the song was excellent. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 22:38, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

WHAT??? When? It has been a long time since i've seen this movie, though. [[User:BeardedHoplite|BeardedHoplite]] 02:00, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
::He's joking about the fact that the bond henchwoman is ugly as sin. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

:::I would not call Grace Jones ugly, but I surely did not find her attractive in the traditional sense. '''She WAS however, fascinating looking.''' Even though it was a lame film, seeing her in Conan the Destroyer was pretty interesting. She's the closest human equivalent to a black panther (the ANIMAL, not the controversial political group) that can be possible. I would call her 'cool' looking, like a really interesting cyborg, or car, or sword. But I never found her attractive in the 'feminine sense' but she definitely was a work of art.

::::She fit the part in Conan the Destroyer, and I think she would've been fine is she had stuck to the Henchman #1 role like Red Grant, or Rosa Klebb. (For the record, I would've been equally horrified by a love scene between Bond and either Red Grant or Rosa Klebb.)--[[User:Funkychinaman|funkychinaman]] 12:12, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
