The forger was a dead man the moment he showed an interest in the Jackal's mission. A mistake the gunsmith never made. If you feel compelled to tell him to keep his mouth shut you've already realized he won't.

Forger was a Fool! Trying to shake down a Killer?🤔😡

Gunsmith got it too. "Let me have a bullet (so I can let you have it)."

The Jackal assumed the gunsmith had been around long enough to take precautions against such a thing. He thought better of making threats and trusted a fellow professional. The forger was a skilled man but a trivial one, he virtually committed suicide the moment he opened his big mouth.

I love this movie so I’m forgiving of a few unlikely scenarios and character inconsistencies that weaken the script, such as this photographer deciding it’s a good idea to gouge Jackal for more money, threatening to withhold his documents, after they already agreed upon a price. The photographer surely had enough street smarts to discern that the Jackal wasn’t someone to double cross, especially after the latter warned him during their first meeting he wasn’t someone to f*** with.

I have also always disliked this detail, for him to begin demanding more money is pretty unlikely, it take me out of the illusion

I think he thought he found the Jackal's weakness and didn't realize the kind of man he was dealing with. The forger probably had shaken down other customers in a similar manner with few, if any repercussions. He called a bluff and found out it wasn't bluff. Greed has done in many people.

Read the Book, excellent.

The movie is very good with one exception. In the book the author emphasizes several time that Jackal never reveals any emotions. And his eyes are absolutely expressionless. In the movie they use all typical for Western movies dramatics, with exclamations, anger, etc.

Fox said the film character needed to be likeable--so that "you were sorry for him when he missed."

Speaking as a lover and admirer of this film, I note here the cliché of the genre, namely that this clever, slimey little fellow does not seem to have the street smarts to understand that our man here is not the sort of fellow that one crosses or renegotiates with. It's suicide. That was made clear enough in this scene. He has been warned. So what does he do? Next time he sees Jackal he tries to cheat him and in effect threatens him. Sooner toy with a mountain lion. But a man like our photographer is just the sort not to underestimate a client, especially one so cruelly dressed and quaffed and with so steady a gaze.

Well, going by the novel, this little rat was under the impression that the Jackal was a drug dealer rather than an assassin. His plan wasn’t terrible in principle, but the way he should have played it was bullshitting that he’s got a friend who would deliver the negatives and the original license to the police if he didn’t hear from him by a certain time. Letting the Jackal know that he was working alone, that the negatives were locked away securely, and that nobody came to his shop was what killed him.
