When Cooper/Richard stops at Judy's (in Odessa, not in Seattle), there is a fight with the cowboys.
C/R grabs the two guns of the cowboys (two guns with chargers).
When he goes near the fryer, he puts three guns on the kitchen counter.
The third one has a barrel (it looks like a 357 Smith & Wesson).
This was discussed before, this is not a filming mistake.
It's impossible for Lynch to make something like that.
So where this third gun comes from ?
Maybe (?) from another episode.
(Diane-tulpa seems to have a gun like this, but it's a black one)
I do wonder if the cowboys are truckers and, if so, are they related in some way to the "truck you" guy who gets killed by Sarah.
Some kind of parallel maybe.
I think it is a continuity error. I noticed it as well and just put it down to continuity error.
Could very well be a continuity error, but the whole gun-frying scene seemed filmed in a way to be very deliberate. They wanted very much to show C/R manipulate the fry basket, and place the guns into the oil. I just can't see how they'd lose count of the guns in this scene, so I'm thinking it's supposed to represent something. Yet another question to chew on...
Not sure but I can say this:
A continuity error is likely more rare than a straightforward explanation in David Lynch territory.
edit: especially one as in your face as that
I'm probably missing something here, but is there any chance the third gun is his own? I.e. he wants to get rid of any evidence?
I would not agree this couldn't be a mistake that Lynch decided to leave in with the intent of using it later. Later may mean after Season 3. Part 18 really seems like Episode 1 of Season 4 to me. I can see Kyle making this mistake in 1 take and during editing Lynch liking this take the best and the "mistake" giving him ideas. So, it isn't really a mistake anymore but what it means may not be apparent yet.
But I can see it being purposeful too. But I have no idea to what end yet.

No, he still has his own gun and is holding it while disposing of the 3 guns.
I mentioned this ages ago.
Yes, but this is Twin Peaks so you know it's going to come up again. 🙂

Yes I remember that this was discussed before, but I've never saw if something followed because it's impossible on this forum to find a post in the thousand or more posted since 10 days.

Or have you yet to mention it (future or past?) 😉
There's no error, all three cowboys had guns. The second one, whom Cooper shot in the foot, was going for his gun and dropped it when Cooper shot him. As it was framed and edited, the viewer simply didn't see Cooper pick it up when gathering the guns. It all happens very quickly. You may fault Lynch's manner of editing, but he has never been a conventional film maker. His methods are his own. It seems that he doesn't feel the need to lay everything out for those who look for that sort of thing.

I think, therefore I may be.
