    Funny this seems like an obvious choice for a device(?) in a movie, but I’ve never seen it used. Not with the voice of course. Anyone actually seen it used anywhere?

      It’s used in Last Action Hero!

      Toward the end, bad guy has a revolver and is shooting at Schwarzenegger keeping him pinned down. Gun goes click.

      “Did you make the classic movie mistake? You forgot to reload!”

      “No, I just left one chamber empty.” Blam

      With the voice, it’s used in Shanghai Noon. Kinda. Owen Wilson attempts to make the bad guy believe he is reloading (despite being entirely out of ammo), but it doesn’t work.
