Saw “The Book of Eli” today. The main character carried an M&P pistol. Out of curiosity, does anyone happen to know if this was the first appearance of an M&P in a major film?
Looked like an HK to me.
I also thought it was an HK.

Appears to be an HK45
yelp HK I noticed in the new 24 Jack has seem to dump the sig and picked up a HK
Does he still cup and saucer?
Not much of a movie buff, but didn’t John McClaine (Bruce Willis) replace his Beretta 92 with an M&P in the last Die Hard, or was it an XD (please say no). I can’t remember other than it was not the 92.
You guys might get a kick out of this page.
That happened like 5 or 6 years ago. He’s been using a USP9c for quite some time now.
He started out with a Sig of some kind (220 or 226). Ended up with a PX4.

It’s just as well the M&P didn’t make it’s first major film appearance in Book of Eli - it was a categorically awful film I’d hate to see inexorably linked with such a stellar gun (not that an HK45 ISN’T stellar, it’s just that HKs already have a fairly unshakeable rep).
Apparently I should start wearing my glasses… :o
So how was the movie?
Okay, I guess I’ll have to get an HK45 now! 
It has about the same amount of wear & tear on it as ToddG’s P30 but I suspect it doesn’t have the same amount of rounds through it 
But his HK45 apparently holds more rounds than my P30, at least in the one “cowboy showdown” scene.
I’d give the movie a very generous C+.
His HK45 probably had a 30 round “clip” hence the seemingly endless amount of rounds fired.
I enjoyed it. Refreshing concept for a post-apocalyptic story. One of the camera shots near the end rankled me a bit but, I don’t want to post a spoiler for those who may want to see it but haven’t yet. Some people have posted some pretty scathing reviews but, I’m not really sure what they expected to begin with.
Please don’t tell me you actually counted the rounds fired…
In the scene where he gets the kid in his apartment I could of sworn he had the HK45. When it slides across the floor and when he does a reload with the guy shooting through the walls etc inside the apartment the slide serrations and grip look awfully like an HK45. I did notice that his firearm seemed to change a few times during the movie even though it was supposed to be the same firearm. I don’t understand why directors miss this so often. I’ve even seen movies or shows on tv for that matter when in one scene there’s two different handguns between camera angles/shots. Very bad in my opinion unless this is done on purpose???

Bourne Ultimatum, anyone?
It’s a Glock! No, wait, it’s a SIG! No, look there, it’s a Glock!
Repeat ad nauseum.
I can’t remember which show, but either “Flash Forward” or “V” the same thing this season. In the first episode all of the FBI agents had Sigs. In the very next episode they all had Glocks. So annoying.
Hey, if I was carrying a 45 to the apocalypse, it would definitely be the HK45.
