Gun Self-Defense For Ladies [2019]

[Cross-posted on the Bad Movie Night Facebook page.]

In our effort to explore to the whole Derek Savage filmography, we obviously had to watch the latest "Gun Self-Defense For Ladies." Steeped in Savage's political rhetoric, which mostly consists of claims that crime is on the rise (it's not) and that the liberal media is lying, the film is a disjointed series of interviews and inaccurate demonstrations that are meant to convince the viewers that guns are fun and you should totally get a concealed carry permit to beat the bad guys. Oh, and he occasionally shoehorns in Cool Cat clips and music because he's Derek Savage and he needs to cross promote at every step of the way.

Because the film doesn't really have a plot, it's kind of hard to explain so I will just list some of the types of scenes we get:

• Many scenes of Derek interviewing women who managed to fight off attackers without a gun but who would "feel better" with a gun
• Scenes of Derek in the Nevada desert (why are all these crazy people in Nevada? Actually, I've been there. That tracks) shooting off guns for fun.
• More scenes in the desert with a young girl who's a first time shooter and the guy who acts as the attacker shooting for the first time and clearly hating it.
• Scenes in Derek's house where he incorrectly teaches you the parts of the guns and how to use them in front of a poster for the film.
• A sequence where he goes to a martial arts studio and you can see the pain on the instructor's face whenever Savage talks
• A bunch more interviews where people continue to perpetuate the narrative that violence is getting more common and the solution is MOAR GUNS.

It wasn't his best film. Adam as a former Marine seemed to be in genuine pain the whole film because of the inaccuracies and Kay started drifting off more than once, but it is worth a watch if you could get your hands on it for less than the $15 Adam paid.
