Funny!
My favorite blooper from the film. Jim Garrison (played by Kevin Costner) and Lou Ivon (played by Jay O. Sander) walk the floor of the Texas Book Depository after the assassination and look out the windows. Lou has a Mannlicher-Carcano in his hand with a sight and clip. We see Oswald's supposed view of the limousine as he pulls the trigger. Now, innocuous traffic goes by, but the iris of the camera tightens into a sniper's scope.
Ivon--
The Zapruder film establishes 3 shots in 5.6 seconds. Here. I'm Oswald. Time me.
Lou cocks the Mannlicher for the first shot. Jim looks at his watch. Lou assumes the Oswald pose, crouched at the window aiming out.
Garrison--
Go!
Lou pulls, quickly recharges the bolt, fires, recycles, fires.
Lou--
Time?
Garrison
Between six and seven seconds.
The problems here. Jay O. Sanders just did get off three shots in under six seconds -- 5.6 seconds, to be precise if you watch the footage.
More importantly, the Warren Commission never stated that Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots in under six seconds.
