Favorite Movie Gun Scene

[JustThisGuy]

I'm curious about what our favorite movie gun scenes are. I mean a specific scene using a gun in a movie that sticks in your memory long after the plot of the movie has faded.

One of my personal favorites is Bruce Willis from RED, when he exits a police patrol vehicle that is spinning just seconds after it has been hit broadside by a CIA wet hitter sent to kill him. He exits firing, calmly walks towards the offending vehicle, still firing, changes mags, continues firing then exits the area, calling all units to descend on a man with a gun (fitting the description of the CIA guy).

Another scene from the same movie showed John Malkovich firing a S&W 500 at a woman who was launching a RPG-7 missile at him. The .50 bullet neatly taps the front of the RPG missile, detonating it and killing the woman assassin.

What are your favorite scenes?

[irish52084]

Collateral when Tom Cruise's character shoots the 2 men who stole his briefcase. He draws fires a double tap the the chest of each and then shoots them both in the head.

The big shootouts in Heat, Miami Vice(the newer movie) and The kingdom are pretty spectacular.

[Longdayjake]

Mine is from the Denzel Washington movie with Dakota Fanning. What was it called again? Oh yeah "Man on Fire." Pretty realistic I think. Here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7gfjcjAp84&playnext=1&list=PLEC9FB021A257D554

The Town has some great gun play as well but the clips have some pretty bad language so I won't post those. A great movie if you haven't seen it.

Way too many to list so I'll stop there.

[los]

- The saloon gunfight at the end of Shane.
- The elevator gunfight scene in Sharky's Machine.
- The alley scene in Collateral.

[Mal H]

- The saloon gunfight at the end of Shane

Do you mean Shane or perhaps The Shootist instead? I don't recall Shane ending in a saloon gunfight, but it's been a while. On the other hand the saloon gunfight in The Shootist was excellent and very realistic.

[Edit]
Yep, you're right, Shane also ends in a saloon gunfight. I only remembered Brandon de Wilde yelling "Shane, Shane", as Shane rode off into the sunset.

[los]

... Do you mean Shane or perhaps The Shootist instead? I don't recall Shane ending in a saloon gunfight, but it's been a while.
Definitely Shane.

[Mal H]

Right - I was editing my post as you were posting. :)

[los]

The Shootist final saloon gunfight scene is one of my most memorable, as well,..for many reasons. The Duke never made a bad western..!

[youngunz4life]

1991-92 "Unforgiven" final scene

1976 "The Outlaw Josey Wales"

the two numskulls raping the squaw before trying to cash in on clints bounty,

the two southern men trying to do the same before being left for the buzzards and worms,

the civil war union soldiers who square up to clint(josey) and have the same fate

1988 "Die Hard"

last scene with bruce willis using his semi taped to his shoulder

2010 "True Grit"

matt damon's LONG rifle shot to get ned pepper

"Joe Kidd"

clint eastwood's LONG rifle shot to kill one of the henchmen

1967 "Hombre"

paul newman final scene fighting it out for what he believes in(phrased so not to give away movie//good movie)

"True Grit" with john wayne's oscar performance

when the Duke rides on his horse and faces about 4 men at once while in full ride

[shootniron]

I like most of the scenes in "Heat", and the scene in "Open Range" where Kevin Costner shoots the cattleman's hired gun.

[rigby06]

For me Steven Segal in Under Siege when he was on the desk of the battleship and hit 4 guys in like 3 seconds and two of those were head shots.

The next one would be tunnel scene in "The Expendables" with that full auto shotgun, what a blood bath :D

[rocky.223]

I know it was cheesy but Terry Crews carrying his "lady" an AA-12 full auto shotgun to rescue Jet Li and Randy Couture in The Expendables! The devastation and pure havoc it created were awesome!:eek:

[Microgunner]

Heat.

[bbqbob51]

The gunfight scenes in Apaloosa are great. They are done about as realistic as any western I have ever seen.
Another is the climatic scene in Unforgiven. Real gun play in the Old West was up close, messy and chaotic and these two movies show this real well.

[m17s_guy]

the first scene with the pirates in "The Expendables". the one that ends with the guy trying to hang a pirate, because thats what we do lol

Also the sniper shot with the hunting rifle in shooter where he uses a coke bottle as a silencer to save the FBI agent. As well as the scene where he grabs his rifle from the table loads a 50cal round in the chamber, levels it at the senator and squeezes the trigger, letting him know that he takes the firing pins out of all of his weapons whenever he leaves the house.

[NWdude83]

The best scene in the history of movies.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXldafIl5DQ

[pcb911]

After the bank robbery in "Heat". Hearing the different guns firing and sounding correct for that gun.

The final shotout in "Bonnie and Clyde". The sound of the BARs is so distinct above the Thompsons and shotguns.

Last fav is in "Kelly's Heros" where they are meeting with the german tank commander and Donald Sutherling turns his lugar in his GI holster out for a quick draw against the tank.

[microman]

Dirty Harry 1971

http://cache01.stormap.sapo.pt/fotostore02/fotos//76/4c/b1/29108_000b3f96.jpg

Harry Callahan: I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

[youngunz4life]

[Gary L. Griffiths]

Helen Mirren in RED dressed in a white ball gown, blasting away with a tripod-mounted M-2!:cool:

[BrittB]

Though it wasn't that big of a deal, I really liked the two Doc Holiday/ Johnny Ringo parts from Tombstone. Trick spinning with his whisky cup and the showdown parts are my favorites. John Wayne in True Grit facing Ned Pepper and his gang in the field is the other that I enjoy watching.

[ClydeFrog]

Dang,
Could you give a brother a little "spoiler alert"? :(

I like a scene in the 3rd act climax of Armed & Dangerous with the late comic actor John Candy.
Candy's security officer/ex cop character jumps up into the cab of a big truck to chase after some bad guys. Candy asks the trucker if he has any weapons.
The truck driver pulls out a huge revolver and says; "This handgun is only legal in 2 states. And this ain't one of them." :)

[Falcon642]

Everytime this scene comes up in the Matrix I rewind it at least twice. I don't know which is sexier, the Beretta or Trinity.........

Oh and the line she drops is pretty epic too.

http://i33.tinypic.com/vpyrnr.jpg

[kingkeoni]

My absolute favorite is the bank robbery scene in the movie "Heat"

What a great shootout.

[Cascade1911]

Demonstration time:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRKUMUPcR7k

Final Gunfight:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eT33eT30Uc

And the scene where Cora and he have been dumped in the desert and BG is riding for his life, can't find a clip.

[Cascade1911]

The Lobby Scene:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX8Y5-BZLaM

[Marlin009]

Terminator in the gun shop.

Phase plasma rifle in a forty watt range. Hey, just what you see buddy. :D

[TX Hunter]

My favorite gun scene ever was from the movie Saving Private Ryan when Private Jackson was praying while he took out a machine gun nest after Tom Hanks (Capton Miller) drew there fire. It was a great scene, and the movie was a good tribute to our World War two Veterans.

[Fargazer]

Classic scene: Indiana Jones and the Ark of the Covenant, where he shoots the fellow swinging the big sword (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anEuw8F8cpE).

General scene: The Matrix, lobby scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX8Y5-BZLaM). Just the sheer amount of weaponry and chaos gives it a special place in my heart, inaccuracies (http://www.moviemistakes.com/film808/page4) and all.

[9-ball]

Miami Vice!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q2Il86-38A

[zenshooter]

I'm surprised nobody mentioned:

Dirty Harry's "Go ahead, make my day"

Favorite all-time: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, climatic gun-fight

And for some self-deprecating fun / humor:

The scene from Men in Black where the alien comes to a farmer's house and says, "Give me you gun"

The farmer responds, "From my cold dead hands!!"


Alien: "Your proposal is acceptable" (proceeds to kill him and take his gun)

:D

[ClydeFrog]

Since some forum member already posted the funny Armed & Dangerous clip of the John Candy scene, I'll add the opening scene from the Chuck Norris action classic; LoneWolf McQuade(1983) www.IMFdb.org

Norris as a dusty, dirty Texas Ranger based in El Paso, gets shot at by a band of horse rustlers with machine guns. After the dust & smoke clears, Ranger McQuade starts to snipe the bad guys with a Styer 7.62mm(.308) sniper rifle.

As a teen, I thought the big scoped rifle was a 30/06 but the website states it was a military type 7.62mmNATO caliber.

Check it out if you like good action/police films.
CF

[SPEMack618]

Yeah, it's an SSG, which were primarily made in .308 or 7.62x51mm if you will, further reinforced by his ammo can that he removes from his Trail Duster.

Also form the same movie, I like the spinning jump kick move with the MAC-10 against the same rustlers.

[bamaranger]

Lonesome Dove, Gus in the after killing his horse, walks carbine slugs (using a ladder sight) in on guy with the buffalo gun.

Steve McQueen with the BAR in the Sand Pebbles.

Opening shoot out in Silverado at the line shack.

Finally, Duke never fired a shot, but the scene in Big Jake where the soundtrack kicks in as Wayne squints down the sights of his carbine at the lynching.

[AndABeer]

Extreme Prejudice had a few great ones. Nolte and his costar, the Commander, worked well together. One of the few times a movie "made" me go buy a firearm.

[sundog]

Final bar room scene in The Shootist

Quigley Down Under when Quigley takes out Marston and his two hired hands with a pistol and then what he tells Marston, "Said I didn't have much use for them, didn't say I couldn't use them."

... and so many others.

[JustThisGuy]

I think that Quigley quote is one of the best ever in any movie.

This is great. I'm off to buy more DVDs!!!

[jp58]

Snipers duel in Enemy at the Gate

[mapsjanhere]

Indiana Jones (I think "last crusade" during the fight on the tank) when the 3 Nazi soldiers jump in front of him and he kills them with one bullet from a P38.

ClydeFrog, I posted the link to that Armed & Dangerous scene in my first post.

[aarondhgraham]

It was called Born Losers,,,

Billy Jack is confronting a biker gang who has kidnapped a woman,,,
Billy has an 8MM Mauser pointed at BG's face,,,
The line goes something like:

I'm going to count to three,,, One,,, Two,,, Bang,,, Three.

Shot him between the eyes.

It was the first movie I ever saw that implied,,,
You don't really have to follow the rules with Bad Guys.

Aarond

[9-ball]

the opening scene of Shooter!

[Dan M.]

Not THE favorite, just A favorite:

Mal practices cocking and aiming his gun in the dining area when Inara comes up behind him.

Inara: Hi.

Mal: BWAH!

Inara: laughing Sorry! Didn't mean to startle.

Mal: You didn't! I was just, uh… "BWAH!" That's more like a… It's a warrior like... Strikes fear into the… hearts of… You know, not altogether wise, sneaking up on a fellow when he's handling his weapon.

Inara: I'm sure I've heard that said. But… perhaps the dining area isn't the place for this sort of thing.

Mal: What do ya mean? It's the only place with a table big enough.

Inara: Of course. In that case, every well-bred petty crook knows that the small concealable weapons always go to the far left of the place setting.

[mete]

It was brief and easy to miss. In "Stagecoach" when the Indians attacked the train ,an Indian , at full gallop , fired, reloaded and fired again with a 1873 Springfield !! :D

[Obiareus]

Not really a scene but almost the entire movie. Equilibrium if you haven't seen it you need to. It was a "B" movie but awesome nonetheless.

[HK Jake]

The TV show, "24," on Day (Season) 4, when Jack Bauer solo raids the terrorist compound where Secretary of Defense Heller and his daughter Audrey are being detained after previously being kidnapped.

Once inside, Jack takes down 6 or 7 bad guys in just as many seconds! It actually looks somewhat compelling as well, which is more than I can say for most television gun fights.

[Yung.gunr]

One of the coolest scenes is Boondock Saints where the brothers get tangled up in the rope and come through the ceiling and spin around killing all the mobsters.

Either that or the shootout they have with their Father before either realizes who the other is.

Those are the coolest movies.

[ClydeFrog]

A mid 1990s crime drama with a few great gunfight scenes was Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis, dir; Walter Hill.
The Willis character; "John Smith" drills about 15 gangsters with 2 old type 1911a1 .45acp pistols. ;)
He runs around & reloads a few times but the old slabsides seems to fire about 20 .45 bullets at a burst. Lol.

[RimfireChris]

In Young Guns II,

Doc-William H. Bonney, YOU ARE NOT A GOD!

Billy-Pull the trigger and find out.

In Saving Private Ryan, at the end when Tom Hanks character pulls out his 1911 and starts shooting at the Tiger tank.

Heat, the scene where Val Kilmer's character is shooting the HK-91 at the meet. That scene made me want and eventually buy one.

Hard Boiled, so many good ones, but my favorite is the scene where Mad Dog is rockin a Thompson Center Contender, and looks good doin' it!

[sonick808]

By far, William Shatner on Gun Control. Classic the second it came out

From Boston Legal i think

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84IZxWvOWWY

[RimfireChris]

@sonick808-I FREAKING LOVE IT! :D

[sonick808]

Chris: i had the same reaction when I first saw it also, lol! Shatner's delivery is hilarious. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a clearer copy on YT...

[horseman308]

Some of mine would have to be, in no particular order:

The Patriot, when Ben Martin/Mel Gibson and his two sons take out the platoon of redcoats to rescue Heath Ledger/Gabriel.

Pretty much anything from Last of the Mohicans

The first and last shooting scenes from Quigley Down Under (explaining the Sharps and then the gunfight with Alan Rickman)

Most of Silverado

[carprivershooter]

Lucas Mac Cain the Rifleman. His 44-40 rifle withn the loop lever and set screw, could have been an earily semi auto rilfe?

[BeachHead]

Die Hard 3's elevator scene. http://youtu.be/63KkZoGgYUA

[Hunter2678]

Heat shootouts,..Tombstone with Kurt Russel and Val, Open Range..Josey Wales...Unforgiven...surprised no one mentioned Predator when the one dude grabs Jesse Venturas Mini gun aftre he gets killed and they all open up on the forest with everything they have literally mowing it down.....I was about 9 yrs old then and we would rewind and watch that scene with the volume turned way up on our "big pioneer" house speakers...:p

[microman]

Anyone remember the gun nut from "Tremors"??

http://www.thepinksmoke.com/images/tremors.jpg

[Carne Frio]

John Wayne's "The Shootist" bar shootout is a classic.
My personal favorite though is Clint Eastwood in "High Plains Drifter"
in the barbershop.. Best part starts at about 3:30 into it.:D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8sNeozweTM

[sam o]

How about Tango and Cash (1989)Stallone loads a +p+ in his .38 fires at an oncoming semi truck and the rig does a nose dive stopping cold. WOW.
Another one someone did something similar only it was a dozer blade about 2 inches thick.

[leadcounsel]

I like "realistic" movie scenes and movies. Not ones that make me roll my eyes and think "that is so stupid."

One of my personal favorites is Bruce Willis from RED, when he exits a police patrol vehicle that is spinning just seconds after it has been hit broadside by a CIA wet hitter sent to kill him. He exits firing, calmly walks towards the offending vehicle, still firing, changes mags, continues firing then exits the area, calling all units to descend on a man with a gun (fitting the description of the CIA guy). This is a perfect example of what I don't care for, and I will literally turn the movie off or walk out when I see scenes like this.

I think my favorite scene is the one from Collateral, where Tom Cruise draws and shoots the two thugs in the alley in the blink of an eye.

[Morgo]

+1 for the Matrix Lobby scene :)

[Hunter2678]

I too cant stand the rediculous cgi shootouts either, the more realistic the better...Tom Cruise's alley scene in Collateral is one of the best examples of what can be done with practice and great directing...

[ChrisJ715]

Rambo 4, shooting the pirates with the 1911. that was pretty cool

[aarondhgraham]

The scene where Hawkeye and Uncas are covering the exit of the Runner,,,
That shooting scene coupled with the excellent musical score,,,
Still raises the hair on the back of my neck.

Bbrrr,,,
I get chills just thinking about it.

Aarond

[orangello]

Some of you mentioned the bank robbery shootout in Heat, i agree fully. Probably about the polar opposite would be the scene in Wanted in which the boy uses the rats and a dozen different firearms to take out a factory full of assasins; it is fun to watch the various gun grabs, even if it is very cartoonesque.

[BlueTrain]

There was a good gunfight scene in an obscrue Charles Bronson movie called "Death Hunt." The movie was about a real life incident from around 1929 in the Yukon. In the movie, however, they kept the names and changed the facts. Some interesting details remained.

His cabin was really blown up with dynamite. He really did have a Savage Model 99 rifle in .30-30. He was the only one the posse was after and he was the Mad Trapper (of Rat River). Moreover, the Mountie played by Lee Marvin was really named Millen but the bad guy killed him. The biplane did not crash into a mountain after machine gunning everything in sight. It wasn't a biplane and it is hanging in a museum somewhere in Canada. Beyond that, it was a good gunfight.

[markj]

Bulldozer scene in fighting sea bees.

[Come and take it.]

I liked the gun battle at the end of District 9.

[Frasier]

Simpsons season 9, The cartridge family-
Homer "I don't have to be careful, I've got a gun"

"A gun isn't a weapon, it's a tool, like a harpoon or an alligator"

"Guns are for hunting, self defense and keeping the king of England out of my house"

(Homers response to having a waiting period) "Five days?! But I'm mad now!"

[Maximus856]

Funniest-The scene from 'Pineapple Express' where Saul (in slow motion) Yells 'F*** THE POLICE!" and loses control of he AK. Also, in 'Tropic Thunder' when Robert Downey Jr.'s character is acting like a Vietnamese farmer, and busts out the M16's from his cloak claiming he's a leadfarmer, while shooting from the hip.

Not so realistic but cool none-the-less was in 'The Losers,' with the sniper in the opposite skyscraper. The one actor was stopped by security and acted like he was shooting the guards with his fingers, as the sniper took all but one of the guards out.

Realistic-'Black Hawk Down' had a few good scenes. The scene where I believe it was WO Durant in the little hide area, where he pulls out his sidearm as a last ditch effort. The part leading up to that with SFC. Shugart and MSG. Gordon trying to supress the enemy with their DMR's was really good as well. I think it showed how dire the situation really was and touched the tip of what it means to have the comaraderie and love for your brothers in arms. Well, at least as well as Hollywood really could..

-Max.

[ClydeFrog]

Some of the firefights in Rambo(2008) were impressive from a SFX/CGI(computer images/special effects) view.
The compound bow shots looked very lethal & the 3rd act scene where John J Rambo shoots up the bad guys with a Warsaw Pact anti aircraft gun looked bad-***!
It's as graphic as the Barrett .50BMG shots in Miami Vice(2006).
I saw a woman who sat in front of me flinch & wig out in the IMAX movie theater during that shoot out.

[JustThisGuy]

Great scenes all.

The Shatner scene is a classic in gun humor (apologies to the BG)!

The Tom Cruise alley scene is truly gun training artistry.

I've got to go buy more DVDs.

[BlueTrain]

A couple of the men in Blackhawk Down had actually taken part in the operation. And in the movie, The Longest Day, now almost 50 years old, a few men in that movie had also been in the actual invasion just about 15 years earlier. One was one of the American rangers scaling the cliffs and I think the same cliff in the invasion was used in the movie. Another was the British airborne officer assigned to hold the bridge (hold until relieved!) who had actually been in that particular operation but he didn't play himself.

[HunterGuy]

Heat. The shoot out scene when the bank robbery goes wrong. Saw it in the movies when it first came out and I just remember the sound being so realistic.

[Mayor Al]

I will count a grenade scene as a gun scene for my entry. In "Wanted Dead or Alive", The movie, not the Steve Mcqueen TV Series. The Grandson of Josh Randall is a bounty hunter looking for some mid-eastern terrorists (Pre-2001). After much violence and slaughter of innocent victims etc etc The Hero catches the nasty bad guy and sticks a grenade in the bad-guys mounth. Holding the pin in the grenade, He leads the guy to the police car to haul him away, when the lead cop reminds him of the bonus bounty for turning the guy in alive. After a long look, Randall says to the Cop, "Fu*k the Bonus", and pulls the pin from the grenade. Camera pulls back to a long shot as Randall and the Cop dive for cover and the visual impact of the grenade going off was rather spectacular !!

[egor20]

BTW Mayor Al

The bad guy in Wanted: Dead or Alive was Gene Simmons
I always hated KISS so I've always enjoyed that scene more than I should. :D

[Eagle Eye]

Quigley Down Under -- many scenes with the long rifle where the victim drops long before the shot is heard, but my favorite is near the end when after he is dragged behind a horse for miles and his hand has been stomped and mangled, he drops the villain and his too hired hand body guards with a pistol rapid fired 3 shots. He states (just before villain checks out) ...and I paraphrase..."Never said I couldn't use a handgun. Just that I didn't have much use for one."

Another scene from a 1960s spaghetti western (I think -- seem to recall Terence Stamp, but the mind gets muddled) where the hero is drinking at the bar, uses a spoon to spot a BG approaching from behind & shoots over his shoulder using the spoon to aim. Maybe someone can refresh my memory on this one.

[HJ857]

The little girl in the night vision scene in Kick Ass.

[Rattlehead]

The best scene in the history of movies.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXldafIl5DQ

Excellent movie, but I prefer Tuco's shot from the bathtub: "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."

And yes, Firefly is one of the greatest shows ever aired. :cool:

[gyvel]

Definitely the last 20 minutes or so of "The Wild Bunch."

Come to think of it, the first 20 minutes or so as well...

my favorite is in "The Godfather".....Michael rubbing out a dirty cop and another crime boss in the restaurant.

revenge is so sweet. even in movies

[DRBoyle]

Can't really say anything flattering about hollywood movies in terms
of firearm scenes for a whole bunch of reasons.

Playing along for the sake of playing along ;)

Has anyone mentioned that scene in Predator with the minigun? Might have been the movie that brought the minigun to movie prominence. The running hunt/fight in Last of the Mohicans. Michael Mann always gets a mention and Public Enemies might interest those who like vintage firearms.

For the most part they're just movies.

[cajun47]

i added so many movies to netflix/instant cause of this topic. i'll come back when i need more lol.

[cajun47]

anyone seen hobo with a shotgun yet?

[Bamashooter]

You guys have mentioned some very good scenes. One of my favorites is woody harrelson with his 2 1911's in the ticket booth scene in zombieland.

[bullethole1]

Tombstone featuring Val Kilmer - Scene of the shootout at the OK CORRAL!

[IZinterrogator]

How about Tango and Cash (1989)Stallone loads a +p+ in his .38 fires at an oncoming semi truck and the rig does a nose dive stopping cold. WOW.
Another one someone did something similar only it was a dozer blade about 2 inches thick.That was Lethal Weapon 3, where they fired a MAC-10 full of "cop-killer" rounds through the dozer blade.

But I prefer Lethal Weapon 2...

"Diplomatic immunity!"

[JustThisGuy]

OK, I'm taking notes. Gotta get to the video store.

[Carry_24/7]

Almost all of them in the TV series "The Unit."

All of them in "Appaloosa."

What about the "outhouse" shootout in "Young Guns?"

And, as already been said, the shootout at the bank in "Heat."

[amprecon]

I like the scene in Unforgiven when Clint Eastwood takes out the crooked sheriff, Gene Hackman. I just liked the way it went down and what was said as much as I liked the gun play in it.

[MLeake]

People seem to have hit several of mine already.

+1 to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Tuco in the bathtub scene.

+1 to Raiders of the Lost Ark Indy shooting the swordsman scene.

+1 to Collateral, both the alley scene, and the ending shootout on the train. (Confusion, bad lighting, and much randomness.)

One I haven't seen mentioned, that's good not for the shooting, per se, but just for the cleverness of the setup, is Jackie Brown, "Ray, he's got a gun!"

[JRussell]

I generally hate gun scenes in movies.

Two movies mentioned on this thread that were excellent, though.

"Zulu" and "Tremors."

[Scorpion8]

Zulu is superb! One of my all-time favorites.

Also, the scene in Tombstone where Val Kilmer (as Doc Holliday) suprises Johnny Ringo at the shootout planned for Wyatt Earp. "Why Johnny Ringo. You look like somebody just walked across your grave"

[youngunz4life]

I like the scene in Unforgiven when Clint Eastwood takes out the crooked sheriff, Gene Hackman. I just liked the way it went down and what was said as much as I liked the gun play in it.

One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies. It was shunned by many at the time for showing "too much red meat." Here's the James-Younger gang getting their come-uppance from townfolk in Minnesota.

Looked to me like the gang kilt a lot more townspeople than the townspeople killed gang members. The townspeople couldn't shoot worth a hoot -- they had men using rifles, with aimed fire, at handgun distances and they STILL missed multiple shots.

Hollyweird ...

The townspeople couldn't shoot worth a hoot -- they had men using rifles, with aimed fire, at handgun distances and they STILL missed multiple shots.Which would be accurate, since the townspeople supposedly grabbed guns out of the racks at the local hardware store to fight with. More than likely none were actually gunfighters.

Okay, Kodyo, I have to admit...Army of Darkness is one of the most entertaining movies I've ever seen. Bruce Campbell is a lot of fun. "Get smart...get S-Mart!" :)

Don't like the series "Burn Notice" all, however (though I'm glad Bruce has a paying gig.)

[Kodyo]

If you like Bruce Campbell, you may like Alien Apocalypse. Definitely in the "So bad it's good" category.

I don't think it had any guns, but all true Bruce Campbell fans should watch Bubba-hotep at least once.

[JRussell]

Thanks for the heads up on "Alien Apocolypse."

I was fortunate enough to see "Bubba-Hotep" in a THEATER, of all places.
I had no idea he could do such a good Elvis. "It was a spider bigger than a peanut butter and banana sandwich!" HA HA HA! That was hilarious :)

If anyone has watched 'Jericho' on CBS, you will remember the flashback scene where the undercover agent kills an informant during after the informant threatens to compromise his cover. The agent draws his 92fs to the informants head, and the camera focuses in on the pistol. The shot is done in slow motion (of course), but you can see the slide kick back, spent casing ejected, and the slide return. After the 92's famous scene, the camera focuses back on the character.

[JRussell]

That's your FAVORITE movie gun scene? :confused:

[austinjking]

Yes, because it scene does not involve thousands of rounds of ammunition, ridiculous hollywood gun-effects, the actor involved in actually quite good, and the way that the scene focuses on the pistol and the single shot it fires is quite striking. It also furthered the plot. So, yep, its my favorite.

I understand that Men In Black is coming back for another round.

Maybe there will be a new tiny gun with gigantic punch!

One of my favorites, Tom Selleck in Quigley Down Under, after the shootout in the end and the bad guy is looking like "how did I lose?", Selleck looks at him and says with regard to Colt revolvers, "I said I never had much use for one. Never said I didn't know how to use it."

I also like the shootout in the airport in Die Hard 2 (in the construction area).
And pretty much all of the gun scenes in Lethal Weapon but especially the one where Mel & Danny are escaping from the bar and Mel is popping every bad guy that they run into.
And definitely John Wayne in True Grit ... gotta love the way he re-cocks that lever action rifle.
