Franks has over 50 quick-draw world records and 12 world championships. In the sport of fast draw, competitors attempt to be the quickest to shoot a target. They use wax bullets or black powder blanks to hit targets at various distances and of various sizes.
Franks rates the realism of quick-draw scenes in films such as "Django Unchained" (2012), "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" (1966), and "Westworld" (2016). She breaks down some of the differences between modern quick draws with semiautomatic guns, like in "Collateral" (2004) and "John Wick" (2014).
She analyzes classic Western movies like "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964), "Tombstone" (1993), "Trinity Is Still My Name" (1971), and "The Magnificent Seven" (1960), discussing the different styles of guns, gun holsters, and stances. She even takes a look at some futurist quick draws, like those shown in "The Mandalorian" (2020) and "Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back" (1980).

I'd give Jamie fox a 10 out of 10 because he shot 7 times with a 6 shooter. That's skill
-
"It's important to have a strong wrist..." Turns out I've been training for quickdraw my whole life.
-
She drew literally so fast that she lagged her own camera when demonstrating during that Tom Cruise clip. Pure skill
-
I'm very happy you liked the Mandolorian draw! I worked on the costume and props team for that specific costume. I had been playing around at the shop doing a quick draw. I ended up going to set to show the performer how I was drawing so quick and easily. It's a "space gun" so it was not the easiest of things to draw. But a nerd in the shop has all the time in world to play😁
-
I can’t stress enough how much I love people talk in depth about obscure stuff I know nothing about. It’s like being introduced to a new world.
-
Imagine being in a stand off with her and you blink and wake up to st.Peter addressing your sins
-
I love when she described “blink of an eye” and refrenced how her fastest draw is literally in the blink of an eye. That’s awesome.
-
In defense of Tombstones quick draw, he didn’t drop his smoke, style points. But she’s the professional so her score holds more weight
-
Fun Fact: The guy that the mandalorian shot in this clip is played by Michael Biehn, who played Johnny Ringo in Tombstone. Who was the guy that got shot in the Tombstone clip.
-
the tombstone draw may be messy, but the entire smoking-a-cigarette-with-your-off-hand-thing really adds to the coolness. also he's your huckleberry
-
There was 40 feet between them when they stopped to make their play And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip
-
So glad you included a Trinity movie. That series is a top Western favorite of mine. Regardless of his technical skills, Terrance is so funny!!
-
I saw a video of Jonathan Ferguson talking about the guns of James Bond, and he mentioned the stance that Han Solo uses (stepping forward, pointing far forward with the opposite arm flung back) was a technique taught during the 50s and 60s or 70s by many agencies such as the FBI as their reaction shooting. So, while proven to be not the best and no longer used, it would have been thought of as one of the better techniques when Empire Strikes Back was filmed.
-
Damn, that lady's fast. Her clips look faster than the movies, and I'm sure they speed up the video in the movies a little. Kudos to you, Nicole Franks.
-
Shoulda done the Surly Joe scene from Ballad of Buster Scruggs xD
-
In the Tombstone scene it’s Michael Biehn (Johnny Ringo) whose thumb you see the closeup of, then they show Doc outdraw him and shoot him. It was meant to show how much faster Doc is. Ringo grabbed his gun first as you can see in the closeup shot, then Doc draws his gun afterward and still beats him. It wasn’t some editing mistake showing Doc’s thumb then a wider shot of him drawing the gun or anything like that.
-
“Pop and lock”, you could feel her passion for quick drawing in that scene. This was a phenomenal guest on the series and I really hope to see her back. Her analysis was both informative and entertaining.
-
Tom Cruise went through intensive hand to hand and combat shooting training from SAS operators. His draw from retention in the alley scene in Collateral is so good it's used by handgun instructors. I think from draw to 2 opponents down is 1.7 seconds. The reason Keenu's shooting in the John Wich series seems so similar to Tom Cruise in Collateral is because Keenu went through the exact same training. Both of them could be top level combat shooters if they keep up their practice.
-
I’d love to see her opinion of Cherokee kid and Gregory Hines draw who was trained by one of the fastest in Hollywood back in the day.
-
Excellent video, really interesting comments in the films they always make it look so easy. It’s nice to hear from an expert about how good it is and how good it looks and how impossible it was in certain cases 14:36
