Random thought - movie magic

A random thought just crossed my mind, well maybe not completely random. I was using a circular saw in my basement and I ended up with ringing in my ears for the next half hour. It was loud in that enclosed space. So I was thinking about a great scene in a great movie and how movies completely ignore things like the noise a gun makes. In T2: Judgement day, the T1000 chases Arnold and the Connors into an elevator. Arnold unloads his shotgun right into the evil terminator’s face. The special effects are pretty cool, especially for 1991. Looks something like this:

Wouldn't that be extremely loud in an elevator? Did John connor just turn into matt hamill?

Nope, everyone is fine.

MOVIE MAGIC

saw another one that i thought i should post.  its extra funny because it reminds me of NES when the crowd was just a group of people repeated over and over.

Fox’s MasterChef cooked up a hilarious blunder by doctoring a scene that shows hordes of people trying out for the show.
In the opening sequence of Gordon Ramsay’s latest cooking competition, there’s anAmerican Idol-style shot of an excited crowd waiting to audition. The voiceover claims “thousands upon thousands lined up” to try out for the show’s second season.
Except if you look closely, producers replicated portions of the crowd to make the group appear larger than it really was. Here’s a screen shot and an exclusive response from the producers, below. Notice the circled areas show the same clusters of people used twice (including a very obvious woman in a bright orange hoodie):
