Favorite Gun Scene Ever

Last of the Mohicans

The scene that warms the cockles of my heart is where, becoming aware of the general situation she has found herself in, Cora slips a pistol into the folds of her skirt, and later, you've almost forgotten it when it comes out...

I never felt more that Hawkeye was a hero than in the scene mentioned above, when you were absolutely sure that he would not miss...

Best music in a gun movie; The Kiss form TLOTM; plays over the last 10 minutes, it seems.

Cheers, TF
 
"The Way of the Gun", best shoot 'em up movie ever; mostly realistic too.

I especially like the scene where Parker and Longbaugh are kidnapping the very pregnant Robin.

"Can't you people see there are guns here?... Get, the f***, OUT! GET OUT!"

That scene cracks me up every time.

Also the scene in Die Hard 1 where Mclane sends a corpse down the elevator with a message emblazoned on his shirt. Just the accent that Hans uses when he reads it, "Now I have a machine gun...Ho Ho Ho"
 
Slightly off topic, since it isn't my favorite gun scene ever, but in "Casualties of War," Sean Penn calls Michael J. Fox 'boo coo dinky dow...' what does that mean?

I googled it, and all I can come up with is crazy. Is that about it?
 
+1 on Zulu. First time I saw that scene with two ranks working in unison to fire and reload I got chills down my spine.

But my favorite is the scene from Quigley where he waits until two men are lined up to shoot. You hear the bullet smack both of them, then hear the BOOOOM of the big old Sharps a couple of seconds later.
 
Faceoff? LA Confidential?

How about The Good, The Bad, The Ugly? When he puts his gun together at the last moment, and before he shoots him he says "your spurs". Or, the final showdown with Angel Eyes, Tuco, and The Man With No Name.
 
To me, favorite means funniest...One of the Indiana Jones movies, a sword weilding fellow does an impressive display in the air with his swords and takes a fighting stance. Indy watches the whole display, then casually pulls out his pistol, shoots the guy, then walks away. A perfect example of the old cliche, "Shouldn't bring a knife to a gunfight".

That's Beaucoup dien cai dau, it's pidgen viet for "How the heck did I get stuck in a film with *you*!" Actually if you google it you'll see the answers.
 
A little oddball taste here...

I like the reprise of the Indy scene when he goes for his pistol to shoot the swordsman but finds an empty holster, has to run away.

Also in Mother Jugs and Speed when Bill Cosby's partner gets shot and flies like Superman across the yard.

Eddie Murphy playing a Congressman attending an NRA duck hunt where everybody is shooting full auto rifles. A duck falls. Eddie says, "Must have had a heart attack."
 
And one of my favorites is the Band of Brothers episode Crossroads, when capt. Winters is lonely fighting against a platoon of Germans with his M1 Garand. And it wasn't fiction at all.

Company actually. There are a couple of minor changes in that scene from Winters re-telling (namely the young sentry). Both of the books make for fantastic reading.

I'd go with the finale of Unforgiven for my favorite shootout. "Deserve's got nothin' to do with it."
 
True Romance

At the end 30 guys are in a room with guns drawn with everyone telling everyone else to drop their gun.

Funny
 
Lonesome Dove, my favourite Western.
The bit where Gus drops the bloke with the Sharps.

Look at that, is he shooting at us?
He can't hit nobody from thar. He's just wasting his bullets.
Maybe an old man like him needs a better target.
Here comes anoth......aaargh.
Look what that ***** done to me.

The Blazing Saddles scene was Gene Wilder, not Gene Hackman. And don't forget later, when he sets off the dynamite with a single pistol shot from half a mile away. Nobody's a better shot than the Waco Kid!
 
Magnificent Seven

Long, long Single Action Army shot on a horseman riding to escape. One of the characters sights and lets the hammer drop. The gun booms and the rider topples from the mount. A companion (McQueen?) congratulates the shooter on the shot. "I was aiming for the horse" the gunner replied.
My lack of perfect recollection ought to urge me to rewatch that classic.
