It was the 'wrath of the almighty' thing. Being the former Angel of death
or whatever he wanted his visual statement whe he despatched his guys.
When he looked at the dinky .38 (? i think) he says it doesn't have the wrath of the almighty kind of feel (not exactly a flaming sword etc...).
So he goes for the Desert Eagle, big sucker with the splatter effect.
Just my thinking, I don't know about lack of effects so it could be wrong.
'...it's only an island if you look at it from the water...'
.50 cals are a beautiful thing...

: Hi Guys (&Gals)
: Quickie Dogma question which may have been asked & answered before but
: thats Newbie Forum member for ya...
: Ok, the question is,
: Why/What was the reason for Loki to blast people away with a big F-OFF
: gun? Was there an specific reason for not using a more comical effect..
: i.e. Loki looks at victim, who immediately incinerates into ash, head
: explodes, etc..
: For me personally, I felt the Loki killing moments a tad cold blooded and
: not in the vein of the rest of the movie. Maybe this is just me but it
: felt we left a Kevin Smith movie and entered the world of Man Bites Dog/
: Henry: Potrait of a Serial Killer....
: So? Is there reasons for the cold blooded angle or was it lack of SFX
: time/budget, etc?
: Cheers
