Talk:E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
Shotgun
I don't think those are Win 1200s. The mag tube cap is the Ithaca style, which the Winchester doesn't have. Since they are side ejecting, my best guess would be Remington Model 31.--Predator20 13:24, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- I agree they aren't Win 1200s at least. And they probably are Remington 31s - nothing else I can think of it is closer, anyway. StanTheMan
- I agree as well. They are not 1200s. The Rem 31 is the closest. MPM
Anti-gun BS
I think it's pretty clear there was an anti-gun bias in regards to the new version of the film. It's not only insulting in terms of us gun guys, but it's also to an extent an attack on the realism of the film (All the Feds running around with ONLY radios? come on). I know this is a sort of 'family' film and all that but I don't feel that alone should exclude the guns. I just seems to me like stupid pussy-footing Hollywood shit. What next, getting rid of the guns from the nazis in Bedknobs and Broomsticks? Geez. StanTheMan 19:23, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, we should remove all flintlocks from the hands of those evil "Swiss Family Robinson". Old Yeller doesn't get shot at the end, he is killed by global warming, and we must digitally remove all the guns in '20,000 leagues Under the Sea'. After all only those pesky British troops use them when trying to kill Captain Nemo and his crew anyway.... ;) MoviePropMaster2008
- I remembered seeing an episode of South Park where they were mocking this new version of ET (I didn't know it was actually true at the time). Later on in that episode they played a new updated version of Saving Private Ryan with GIs storming Omaha beach holding only a radio in their hands and getting their heads blown up...

Stan, Spielberg digitally erased the guns since it was 20 years later and he was now a father. He now felt pretty sensitive that the police would open fire at a group of kids. I do agree though that political correctness sucks the joy out of everything. :P - Swordfish941
- I believe Spielberg is or was a shooter (trap shooting) and would threaten any papparazzo who'd take a photo of him holding a weapon.Foofbun 21:45, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
- Spielberg has one of the largest private gun collections in the country. He just doesn't like to admit he's a gun guy. -Anonymous
