The movie "Gazi Stealing the Dog" has finally been released
In 2022, when the "Friends of Panga" was in full swing, Xie Mengwei, the actor of the classic film and television character Gazi, announced that he was filming a movie similar to "Operation Red Sea", with an investment of more than 800 million, three times that of Operation Red Sea, and told reporters that he was wearing nearly 800,000 sets of equipment, and he customized 20 sets in one go, and spent more than 10 million on equipment alone!
▲Individual equipment in the movie shooting footage
This big sigh of speech naturally caused heated discussions among many military fans, and at that time I also wrote an article to analyze how much the equipment of a fully armed special forces soldier would cost.
▲Brother Ga Zi is a typical Taobao special forces suit
In fact, the equipment worn in the Gazi movie belongs to the proper Taobao special forces, and military fans can see at a glance that it is cheap and copycat, plus a full set of props and guns, it costs thousands of dollars.

This is still the second, what really broke the circle of the movie was a video of Gazi at the audition, I saw Gazi wearing a suit, with his neck deep in front of him, holding a sniper rifle of a Swift Eagle, and looking around obscenely. It's really funny, so it was spoofed by the majority of netizens as "Gazi stealing dogs", which was widely spread on the Internet, and Gazi's movie "Tough Guy Sniper" was widely known.
Recently, this movie with an investment of 800 million yuan was finally launched on "iQiyi"! In order to bring you the follow-up report of "800,000 individual soldiers", I specially went to watch this "Tough Guy Sniper" in the past few days.

What do you say about the viewing experience? Forehead...... It's kind of "Dude knows you're joking, but it's ridiculous...... Moreover, 800,000 individual soldiers? Dude, you're the budget you spent on the whole movie."

You say it's not a military movie, it's all kinds of things, battles and explosion scenes, but you say it's a military movie, it's a bit of a bite to scratch your back teeth.
▲ Anyone with military common sense, watching this movie, will be like this......
In this push, let's talk about "Tough Guy Sniper", which can be called a military movie textbook (a complete collection of negative errors). Its literary drama and plot part, if you want to evaluate, can only be said to be a half-cooked "fast-food smorgasbord", which not only selects the cliché story of martial arts films, "The senior brother is jealous, and the little sister dies tragically in his arms"; also selected the scene of the bad street in the military film, "Evil bandits surround the corpse to help, and the protagonist group takes revenge for justice".
▲Relive the classic plot of the 80s (the heroine's heavy makeup is really ..... ）
I'll spoil the plot of the whole movie directly, roughly the two brothers who learned the "Huoyun Evil God" are a group of mercenaries, who want to go to the drug dealer's lair to rescue a female hostage, and the younger brother Gazi did not listen to the command and shot the hostage without authorization, and then the two brothers had a quarrel, which led to the tragic death of teammates and the little sister, and the brothers parted ways.
▲ Hostage: You only shout and don't say it, but you ask
Gazi took refuge in a rage and became the righteous son of the drug dealer leader, and a few years later incarnated as Lu Bu to kill his father and seize power, and finally was killed alone with his senior brother who came to take revenge - how does the plot look like "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" starring Jet Li?
▲ The plot of Gazi's murder of his father, I always feel that the performance is too violent
Such a plot, coupled with a group of absent-minded actors who only earn pocket money, has created a wonderful level of interpretation that can be compared to small movies in island countries (and even worse than some bridges)...... For example, in the following shot, what do you think this is showing?
A. The special operators are crying
B, the actor wants to stretch, but he can't hold it back
C, the middle-aged uncle interprets the emoji
D. Blunt angle
However, although this is an out-and-out bad movie, we can still combine some of the plots to talk about the corresponding military knowledge to you along the way, let's start below:
1. Even "Little Karami" cannot be without rules
Netizens who often brush Douyin short videos must be familiar with one word, that is, "Little Karami", this title refers to the "dragon set soldiers" in every movie, although these "little Karami" are inconspicuous compared with the protagonist group of the movie, but they can also directly reflect the quality of a military movie.
▲No matter how small the role is, as long as it is not played well, it will make people play, and if it is played well, it will add a lot of color
A good military movie, even if it is a background set, the soldiers must have their own duties, are well-trained, and have their own jobs. For example, the Ranger in "Dark Shadowfall", Delta...... Wagner in "Hell's Sharpshoot" each have their own roles and positions, the commander guards the radio and stares at the monitor, the driver drives well, the machine gunner is responsible for suppressing or breaking the rear, and the rapid reaction force is fighting fires everywhere......
▲ In "Black Hawk Down", there are two very impressive machine gunners
In this "Tough Guy (Gazi) Sniper", the soldiers are meaninglessly moving around, and the enemy and the enemy stand up straight and shoot at each other, which can be said to have reached a peak state!
▲ The enemy and the enemy stand and shoot at each other
At the beginning of the movie, the costumes of these little Karami were very unbearable, and I couldn't help but want to shout "Gazi, group performances are also part of the movie, give people a little budget, a little ......"
▲ In the movie, the handshake RPG warhead, the shape of a small Karami with a mask
In 2024, even the most ordinary military enthusiasts can understand the most simple truth through various channels: that is, when armed personnel use guns and other weapons to perform combat missions, they must be equipped with "combat carrying equipment", and it is difficult for armed personnel without "carrying equipment" to carry spare bullets and other combat materials in good condition, and their sustainable combat capability is about equal to zero...... And it is not possible to carry bulletproof components of any material, and protection is equivalent to "streaking".
▲ You see, even the miscellaneous African black uncle knows to wear a 56-style chest hanger
If the film is set in a slum on the streets of South America or Africa, where young gangsters in civilian clothes and carry guns like this, such behavior is barely justified, but in the lair of drug dealers in the so-called well-organized paramilitary organization of Southeast Asia, the styling is very amateurish.
In particular, the setting of no carrying equipment + unified camouflage uniform + black scarf, when combined, it looks even more nondescript, and it adds to the snake, this group of villains who are still on duty at night in the base camp of their own forces wearing black masks are simply giving the infiltrators a chance to disguise......
▲ The soldiers uniformly wore black masks, probably to cover up the facial emotional performance ability of the group performance.
However, when I saw the plot of the Gazi pistol directly stuck in the belt in the back, I was relieved, the protagonist's appearance is so poor that he doesn't match the holster, and the little soldier's shabby point is really normal......
▲ This ......
The movement of these "little Karami" is even more contrary to the most basic military principles. When you watch the real videos of the military operations of the regular army, you can often find such a common phenomenon, all the sentinels and patrols of the regular army, their action routes are very regular. From how to carry the gun, to how to delineate the patrol route? Where the open and dark whistles are arranged, there are rules to follow.
The reason for this is also very simple, the regular army soldier carries a real iron guy who can kill, and there is strict discipline on where the muzzle of the gun is facing, like in the movie, it is held around the waist in an orderly manner, which seems to increase the reaction speed and deterrence in battle, but in fact, as long as the gun bearer is not careful, it will violate the most basic muzzle discipline (pointing the muzzle at friendly troops), causing unimaginable consequences.
The fingers that are casually placed on the trigger and the muzzle of the gun that is dangling everywhere around the waist can really be described as the standard "shooting range boss blood pressure special medicine" and "starter lifted dry by the squad leader".
Of course, it is not for nothing that the villains of Little Karami are "highlights", and the after-effects of their shots can be arguably the most exaggerated I have seen in recent years...... Basically, no matter what kind of shot you are shot, you will give the audience a trapeze that defies the gravitational pull of the earth, which is unforgettable.
Second, if you want to dress up as an "elite army", you still need to put in a little effort
After talking about the military literacy of the villains in the movie, let's take a look at the protagonist group's side, the level here and that side can be said to be "half a catty against eight taels", and it is a common misunderstanding to get started. As the captain of the elite mercenaries of Thunder International Security Company, in order to be cool, this character chose a weapon that is very unsuitable for his positioning and mission environment, the M200 sniper rifle.
▲The M200 that the captain took in the movie is most likely the toy model of Jet Eagle that costs 2,000 yuan less.
On the battlefield, the commander's first task is not to directly kill or injure as many enemy troops as he wants and how many tasks to complete, but to do a good job in the "brain" work of the entire team. This is also the reason why the commanders of the regular army like to command at a high place with a telescope, and the sniper rifle is precisely the one with the smallest field of view among all weapons, although the scope provides the ability to observe distant targets, but it also reduces the user's field of vision, so that he can not observe the macroscopic changes of the entire battlefield in time, which is extremely unfavorable to the combat effectiveness of the entire squad.
As a result, it is very rare for a team to have a commander who is a sniper.
▲ The Wagner commander in "Hell's Sharps" uses radio to communicate information most of the time
Secondly, this M200 is really a killer for this kind of battlefield environment, this gun is used for ultra-long-range shooting (effective firing distance of up to 2000 meters), for which 0.408 inches (10.36×77 mm) high-precision bullets are deliberately selected.
▲The 0.408 bullet in the red circle in the middle is several rounds larger than the 7.62mm full-power rifle round
Bringing it to the villa area presented in the movie to fight the battle to rescue the hostages can be said to be just the reversal of the character positioning. You know, in order to specialize in the attributes of long-range shooting, this gun has paid a lot of price, its bare gun without a scope has a weight of 14.6 kg, and the length reaches 1346.2 mm (with the butt unfolded), which is an uncompromising bulk.
Even the strongest fighters would find it difficult to move around in a compact villa, and if it were a real special operations force for this kind of mission, they would most likely choose a semi-automatic shooter, a precision shooter rifle that would not weigh too much with a silencer and night vision scopes.
▲ 7.62 or 8.6mm sniper rifles, in fact, can meet the sniping needs of human targets in most scenarios, which is also the daily choice of most military and police snipers
▲Compared with the M200 chosen by the captain, Gazi's gun Jet Eagle MSR is more suitable
As for the location of this sniper rifle, it is also expected to be an amateur, and the bright barrel sticks out of the cover with a big grin, which is full of exposure...... Real snipers, on the other hand, try to keep the barrel hidden in the shadows and cover as much as possible.
▲ In the sniper position set up in the movie, the barrel obviously sticks out of the cover too much
▲In addition to performing security and deterrence tasks on major occasions and deliberately exposing themselves, in a real confrontation environment, snipers will hide their firing positions inside the bunker and will not expose the barrel of the gun out of the window.
In the movie, the attack time chosen by the Thunder International Security Company team is at night, which seems to be a common time for special operations forces, but, it may be due to the limited funding of props, this "elite" assault team, all members did not carry any night vision observation equipment at night, and even the tactical gun lamps equipped with the gun are rare, to tell the truth, even if you buy a model of these things, not to mention 80w, it may be enough for 800 yuan...... Such a level of budget quotation is that the accountant of the US military has to learn one.
▲There is neither helmet protection, nor Penny cap camouflage, nor any night vision equipment
For now, night vision goggles / thermal imaging is already a kind of public hair products that are easy to find in the conventional army, some of our military fans will wear binocular night vision devices when playing night live CS, and the entry-level night vision device with real functions is about thousands to tens of thousands of pieces, not as high as everyone thinks. But there is no night vision device, and at night when you can't see your fingers, you are really blind, and you can't fight at all.
A small-scale assault detachment with fewer people than the opponent, without the blessing of one-way transparent tactical equipment, rashly assaults a nest of other people's daily defenses, and its danger factor can be said to be infinitely close to "the annihilation of the whole army".
Because the defenders stationed here all the year round are far more familiar with the terrain than outsiders, in this environment, the attacker may be ambushed by the defenders and "yin death" if he is not careful.
In the 2015 United States movie "Border Killer", we can see a relatively standard squad night offensive combat configuration.
▲ According to their own equipment use habits, the team members choose night vision goggles or thermal imaging respectively, from "Border Killer"
▲ The real picture under the night vision goggles in "Border Killer".
▲ Thermal imaging view of "Border Killer".
If the requirements are a little higher, you can also add the configuration of silencers and laser pointers (night vision goggles with laser pointers and silencers can be called a sharp weapon for night city warfare), and the sights can also be appropriately increased according to the needs of using night vision goggles.
▲ The special forces put so many accessories on the gun not to be cool, but to be really useful
3. In such a battle, the hostages have no way to live......
All the battle scenes in the movie can be described as "fierce", there is no discipline, it is all hard!
Especially in the first battle at the beginning, after seeing Brother Ga Zi chicly pick up the headset (actively disconnect) and pull the trigger (unauthorized action), the whole team immediately began to throw grenades, throw grenades, and shoot at the stumps, directly using the word "reckless" to shoot......
▲ Should I say it or not, this grenade was thrown, and one person hit the posture of a light mortar
▲ This big brother, you don't even have a camera on the gun, what are you fighting? I'd love to ask: does the actor know what he is aiming at when he shoots?
The only thing that is commendable may be the final result of this battle, the hostages hanging...... And it was caused by Gazi's bullet piercing the abdomen with one shot...... This is indeed more realistic, because according to this method of warfare, I really can't think of any possibility that the hostages will be alive......
By the way, this is just a 10-minute battle at the beginning of the movie, and there is a 40-minute retirement life plot behind it, which I skipped if I couldn't stand it.
▲I can't understand why the last shot was sniped with Wang Li Danni by lifting a gun...
In short, the viewing experience of this movie can only be summed up in one sentence: "Gazi, the military industry is too deep, you really can't grasp it......"
