Reference For Hitmen

[OutcastJiob]

Hitmen in FILMS, clearly. I found this guide to be quite interesting. As noted on the site I'm about to link to, the book was essentially blocked from being published any more due to complications in a murder trial. This means you don't use anything in this guide in real life--only in films.

My disclaimer: the site linked to gives explicit instructions on ways to murder for pay and avoid punishment. This, clearly, is illegal in every country I can think of. I'm only posting this for use as 'research material' for making your films more realistic, and if any of you lot suddenly decides to go into business as a hired killer after reading this guide, I am in no way responsible. Read at your own risk and whatnot, and certainly don't follow the instructions in real life.

As I said, I found it to be very interesting. There's a lot of great tidbits of information in there, though like most Paladin Press books, some parts are severely out of touch with reality. Regardless, it should help you make your films more interesting; I know it's given me several different story ideas.

EDIT: To avoid confusion, I was in no way associated with the authoring, publishing, or subsequent banning of the book. I just stumbled across it on the crazy old internet.

On a side note I'm trying to get a hitman costume, like the guy at the end in Scarface, members only jacket, sunglasses, double barreled...

They are so cool in movies sometimes. If i were to ever become an assassin (dont think so...) i would have to make sure that the person did something, and the person who hired me just doesnt like them and wants them dead.
And assassins should have really good skill, and not just like in some movies, where they just have luck.
Your assassin would need to have excelent use in whatever item he uses to kill with. If it were a spoon, he would know how to hold it properly, throw it up, catch it, scoop with it and alot of things. He cannot just have his spoon and whack at people with it until they die.

Of course. Though I'd question the sanity of anyone who would attempt a hit with a spoon. If you have to use silverware, then at least use a fork, or preferably, a knife.

Yes, or a cake lifter, that would do the job, and u cld lift out there organs with it too. Not to mention there pretty (make sure its metal).

Or you could just stab them with it and be done with it instead of standing there trying to scoop up their organs contemplating whether you should eat it or not. Man do you dream about mutilation rhys? lol

I seriously think someone should contact your local authorities and have you put on a watch list becaue you are scarry.

look for a book by John Minnery called (I think from memory) "How to Kill". Much better than that link. Here is an excert link I found

Lol, im not that bad, i merely enjoy gore. We had to cut up sheeps hearts in science, and at the start i was kinda grossed out, but by the end i was stickin my fingers in the arteries, punching it, and cutting it so it could be flat on the table. Its ok... cos my friends joined in too, female friends.

[Jperson]

That's the wakkiest and funniest thread on hear, but that link is good, I would use a spoon to kill !

EDIT-
Sorry that was a bit rushed, but yes a spoon is the best way too kill, none of this automatic nonsence!

[F.F.F.]

rhys, maybe your female friends are crazy too. OR, maybe everyone else is crazy EXCEPT you and your friends. Hmmm...

I think it's in the water of Australia.

Rhys, your a weird kid, and don't take that as a complement like emos and goths.

[F.F.F.]

Well played DEDFX. This guide is pretty cool.
On another note, my friend's grandfather was a prison guard, and a japanese P.O.W. came at him with a piece of metal to shank him with. So my friend's grandfather held the handle of his spoon out and it stabbed the prisoner in the neck and he bled to death.

the best weapon a hitman could use....is an icicle, because the evidence melts away.
has that been used in a movie before....?

This is from a Wikipiedia article on Collateral. I try to base my hitpeople on this:

Tom Cruise's character, Vincent, wears a similar suit to that of Robert de Niro's character in a 1995 Michael Mann film, Heat. This is no coincidence as Mann's research indicated that both characters would dedicate their appearance to being difficult to describe. Both men are medium build and height, grey and white suit with a light beard. Vincent goes further and has his hair dyed silver grey and his facial hair is less pronounced (he has facial hair but it's not a full beard). This lends his appearance a low contrast, colorless look that will not draw attention to itself. Both Vincent and McCauly in Heat use the Mozambique Drill and even the words "double tap to the sternum and one to the head" make it into the films.

The Russian mafia kills people by holding them down and stuffing snow into their throats. They asphyxiate in a few minutes, then their residual body heat melts the snow. No murder weapon, no marks, no apparant cause of death. FUN FACT!
