This was filmed in Old Metairie on Northline Street, near the Metairie Country Club. It is an area near the parish line adjacent to New Orleans.

This area flooded when New Orleans flooded. It shares a pumping station with New Orleans. There are some expensive homes on this street.

I just plugged in an address to get the street on a map.

Note to anyone who hasn't seen this - some nice super-gory violence, well, just about throughout.

Hardcore scene.

How many rounds do tommy guns actually hold?

This is an awesome movie, I originally found it because of this mefi thread.

Which is a great place to find some movies that you might be interested in watching.

Krupo: I was thinking the same thing while watching it. Well, Wikipedia posits that the drum magazine can take either 50 or 100 rounds. Fire rate is 600-800 rpm.

A maximum ten seconds of sustained firing will empty the 100 round magazine.

The tommies saw about 4 secs' use in the hands of the assassins, ~12 more while shooting the second assassin in the back, and another 8-10 while firing bursts down the road.

All told, he'd probably need three magazines to uncliche the scene. ;-)

Well, as long as we're disconnected from reality, it's enjoyable. Whee!

Don't f__k with Daddy Warbucks...

A drum magazine for a tommy gun holds 50 bullets. A box magazine holds just 20 or 30.
