Okay, I was flipping through the channels once and I saw this film. It's an older film (about seventies, maybe late sixties.) Shows some guy undergoing training (I THINK FBI, not sure). Anyway, he's got a shotgun and he's walking through a cardboard cutout town and different cutouts (representing various types of people) keep popping up.
First popup appears and it's a guy with an apron holding a towel in one hand. The trainee shoots the cutout and someone on the microphone (the instructor) goes, "You just shot the town barber. Yes, he could have had a gun underneath the towl, but you should have told to get his hands in the air before firing."
Next popup is a guy wearing riot gear and carrinyg what looks like a machine gun or some sort. Trainee shoots that guy and the teacher says, "You just shot a member of a SWAT team."
Anyway, that's about all I remember. I dunno if either the trainee or the teacher are the main characters or not, but I think the movie goes to something else after that...
Sounds alot like MAGNUM FORCE(1973)...the second in the Dirty Harry series.The scene sounds like when David Soul is out on the shooting range...and shoots the cop cutout. David Soul was in SALEM's LOT and,of course,the TV show STARSKY and HUTCH.
:smile: I agree with RCM, it sounds a lot like Magnum Force ~ I just can't remember the range official saying what the shooters did wrong.
The FBI connection, and the telling the shooter what he did wrong sound like the "Hogan's Alley" scene from the Jimmy Stewart film The FBI Story from 1959. A very long, and kind of stiff bit of propanganda passing as a movie.
Been a while since I saw either film, and both ring bells, since the scenes are similar.
