Ran across this video and the first thing I thought of was jthhapkido.  Looks like James Bond needs a refresher course.

It amazes me in this day and age that even with fight specialists, stunt specialists, fight and gunfight choreographers, and actors that actually go out and GET training---we still have major motion pictures in which the actors obviously have NO idea what they are doing, even though their character is supposed to be a master-class shooter.

Amazing. 

(And it is so pervasive we aren't surprised when the gun-handling is bad, we are surprised when it is GOOD.  Example:  Collateral.  I know, I know: Weaver, but nonetheless solid technique.)

I know right? Did anyone watch the last episode of "The Walking Dead"? Michonne was walking through the woods and holding a pistol WAY low on the grip. Looked like she was holding a hammer. OY vey!

That's 'cause she wanted to be ready to club the buggers if she ran out of ammo. :D
