Towards the end of Sid Vicious' rendition of 'My Way', he pulls a revolver out of his pocket and starts shooting at the audience. He fires eight shots, which is more bullets than a revolver can hold.

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
Now, I'm no gun expert but I just googled 8 short revolver, and they are a thing apparently. Not that I'm suggesting that the video is real
Depends on the size of said revolver and its ammo.
How about 20 shots?

My cap gun was only limited by the size of the roll ...

In this week's Archers Helen Archer unexpectedly spent the night with a male friend. She didn't leave him until the following afternoon. Who was looking after her children while she was bonking her brains out?

It's a Colt Python in the video, a snubby, probably a .38 but possibly a .357 (they're the same frame so visually almost identical). They're 6 shot, six chambers in the cylinder.

Caution: Spoliers ahead for anyone (ie Gen Z) who've not seen these movies.
In Back to the Future, that car park when Doc & Marty stand in the way of the car testing it, must be immense....88mph...it seems to take an extraordinary amount of time to get anywhere near them. And it always bugged me why they stood in its way in the first place.
Also the final nail biting sequence when Doc tries to hook up the cable, Marty must be miles and miles away...how long is that high street?.
In BTTF3, Doc is hovering chatting to Marty when the car is hit by lightning & he goes back in time. So....why does the car need to do 88mph?.
In the first movie, he could have just sat there and Doc leisurely hooks it up to the clock tower.
Marty's parents in the alternate 1985 don't seem to recognise that Marty oddly resembles that 'skateboarding kid' from 1955 .....
Plus, there's gunshots, loud explosions, terrorists camper van crashes into news stand, Marty crashes the DeLorean into the porn cinema, he hangs off the back of vehcles on his skateboard....doesn't Hill Valley have any police on patrol?. A brief shot of a helicopter, then that was it....
The car is really cold in its first time trip, covered in ice, but seems OK in the other movies.
Raiders of the Lost Ark: Indy under the truck, you can see the shallow trench made for the stunt guy.
In the scene where the truck flips over & explodes in the market square, resulting in Indy thinking Marion is dead, you can spot the telegraph-pole ejection system used to flip the vehicle.
In the shot where Indy threatens to blow up the Ark, there's an obvious fly lands on Belloq's lips....did he swallow it?.

Around an 800 foot run, given the building behind them.
Clock tower on the right, on the court house.
They only knew him for a week, and then under the name Calvin Klein. Did the name ever spring to mind when Calvin Klein launched his underwear range, 15 years later?
Time protecting itself from unravelling should also be considered.

Fun fact.
It’s the same truck. They filmed the two scenes out of sequence so they could destroy the truck when it rolled over.
