The old memory may not be correct but I think it may have been Charles Bronson in one of those mid 70's modern westerns, . . . he was a bad dude who knew martial arts, . . . got into some kind of out West, Native American religious experience, . . . then had to do battle with a bunch of drugged out hippies with a lever action rifle.
The hippie bad dude was right when he told him "You can't kill all of us" so he just killed the leader (dead between the eyes, . . . broke his white sun glasses in half), . . . then addressed the second in command, . . . and all of a sudden our hero got whatever it was he wanted. It ain't often you learn something useful from a movie, . . . but that one I never forgot. I still think it is the best answer, . . . shoot the talker, . . . then shoot the ones that move, . . . pretty soon you'll be in charge. May God bless, Dwight

Don't know for sure, Joab, . . . been too long ago, . . . was a once seen movie in a drive in on Friday nite.
I just remember the good guy shot the bad hippy between the eyes and busted those great big wide white frame sun glasses, . . . the scene was shot in real slow motion, . . . the dead hippy falls over a couch, . . . bounces, . . . hits the floor, . . . bounces some more. Then I think they showed it again in real speed. Anyway, . . . rest of them hippies didn't want no more to do with a lever action dude trying to be like the Indians or something. May God bless, Dwight

The "drop your weapon" scene is just another cliche used by lazy leftist scriptwriters that have never handled a firearm in their lives. It saves on having to actually think of something original. There's something masochistically appealing to the leftist mindset about surrender and submission to evil...the hero having to sustain humiliation/defeat before achieving final glorious victory.
Humbug. Life isn't a flugging storyline where you get to write the ending. Like anything else involving Hollywood & guns... Do any of us remember, sing praises to, or have mementos of the Vichy French? Or do we admire and remember those who've faced that decision for real...the Spartans, Romans, Vikings, Alamo-ans, etc.? |

Thousands of Sheeple saw that brainwashing, and believed that if you surrender you weapons, you will be ok.
Shoot the talker!! |

Why even carry a weapon if you're willing to give it up?

I guess I'm gonna have to go out and get Billy Jack on DVD, then. Never seen it, but it sounds worthwhile for this one scene alone -- as a training video! As far as, "Drop your weapon!" goes -- it must be understood that it's only for bad guys to be told that by good guys: society is supposed to understand that when a good guy forces a bad guy to drop his weapon, it's to take him in unharmed (otherwise he'd just shoot him, right?). When a bad guy forces a good guy to drop his weapon, what would one expect the bad guy would do then? "Take him in"? That's not the job of bad guys, so no. It would most likely be to kill the good guy without being shot at. -azurefly |

Billy Jack was a blue eyed indian that left the reservation to join the Green Berets and learn karate. He came back and kicked people in the face for killing horses Despite a deep personal grudge against the star I still love those movies You can always walk up to the leader and tell him "I'm gonna take this leg and kick you on that side of your face. And there's nothing you can do about it"
