Flashlights in TV shows and movies (Part 4)

[FPSRelic]

Found this guy on Youtube. He cleans out sewer pipes for a living. He often uses an Olight Seeker pro and in this video what looks like an SR96 Intimidator in some pretty nasty places. It's a good advert for Olight if you ask me:

I think he might be holding the Gopro in his mouth with a bite mount, rather than the flashlight, but yeah. I often wonder what he point of those gloves is, as everything else often gets covered in yuck. And that's one of the more tame videos - there ones where he's dealing with a LOT of the brown stuff.

I was just watching the mo0vie "Fury" and near the end there is a scene where a German SS soldier is looking under the American tank to verify there are no survivors and he lights it up with a flashlight to see. To those that aren't familiar with the movie, it is about an American tank crew during World War II.

Now the light the soldier uses is better than any light that we were issued when I was young enlisted man in 1992. I have watched the clip a couple times and at first I was sure it is an LED but after a few times watching it, I now think that it is at least an incan but something along the lines of a Surefire Aviator.

Either way, this clearly isnt something that was available in 1941 right?

I paused it right as he is turning it off and it looks legit compared to a German flashlight of that era in form... I'm sure they likely put something brighter inside as opposed to the stock bulb, though.

In Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency Season 2. There were scenes where the police officer handed the protagonist a big *** flashlight. Anyone knows what brand they are?

Shaun of the Dead rescue scene. Not one, not two, but three (3!!!) tac lights on the no-aim G36! Any ideas? In case the time stamp does work, the best shot is 44 seconds in. And no, in 10 years in the US Army, we never once used more than one light on a weapon.

Series - Shipping Wars

Episode - "Do No Bodily Harm." (13th episode of Season 6.)

Jen has to deliver six artificial cadavers to a medical training facility. At least one moves, has a heartbeat and lung functions. She's supposed to check on that one as it needs to be functioning constantly. She waits until the last leg of the journey to do so, and it turns out the body is no longer functioning. Needless to say, the doctor who met her at the delivery drop is not happy. Jen is on the hook for $65K which she clearly does not have.

While trying to fix that one body, the doctor examines the other five. She's using what looks to be a 2D cell inca. Maglite. But the head is black, while the rest of the light is bright, shiny bare aluminum.

Thankfully for Jen, the broken automaton starts working on its own.

Saw Clint Eastwood's Richard Jewell the other night and could have sworn there was an Elzetta Bravo lighting up the backpack.

If so, then the prop-master messed up. Elzetta hasn't been around that long, and useful LED lights surely haven't.

Lights used in Season Two Castle Rock on Hulu

**Possible Spoiler Alert**

In season two, the last episode, when Abdi and Nadia are in the tunnels under the house they have large flashlights with a very bright beam. They are longer like a Mag but definitely not a Mag. Sorry can't find any photos but if anyone knows I would greatly appreciate the help.

Hey Captain, long time, no see!

I thought the same thing when I saw it a couple of years ago, that is definitely WAY too bright to be a light from the early '40s. I never did get if he saw him under the tank and just let him go, or if he didn't see him, even with that bright future light, lol. :candle:

I hate it when they get the light way to bright in military movies, obviously that was a modern buld or LED. I get it they have to use way to bright for "dramatic" effect but come on the military did not have anything close to that bright that is that small until the late 90's or even 2,000's much less mid 1940's.

Please start your own thread re your question. Sort of off topic here.

Anyone seen the new grudge?

Looks like the woman detective uses either a nitecore or fenix light

Did anyone happen to see the March 23, 2020 episode of "The Good Doctor"? and happen to notice what was the model and make of flashlight that Doctor Shaun Murphy pulled out of his pants pocket while trying to resuce victims in the building collapse?

I'm guessing it was either a NiteCore or a Fenix or one of those high-end German-made models but I'm not entirely sure.

If anyone knows, let me know because I want to order one for myself...

On the latest episode of Project Blue Book, there was a G.I. angle head light being used.

On Live PD: Top 6 Worst Liars l A & E, which can be seen on YouTube, a shoplifter was caught with a couple of Fenix lights in his possession.
