What do you think is the funniest movie moment involving a gun?

My current pick is any time Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) tries to use a gun in "Big Trouble in Little China," to include making the Worlds Stupidest Face While Shooting a Gun. :D

Jack Burton: Okay, I get the picture White Tigers, Lords of Death, guys in funny suits throwing plastic explosives while poison arrows fall from the sky and the pillars of heaven shake, huh? Sure, okay, I see Charlie Chan, Fu Manchu and a hundred howlin' monkey temples, and that's just for starters, right? Fine! I'm back! I'm ready, goddammit let me at 'em!

I like the scene in Romancing The Stone where Danny DeVito is running away from the Columbian army and firing blindly over his shoulder at the same time. Now, that's a tactical retreat if I ever saw one! Also, the scene in Rustler's Rhapsody when Rex O' Herlihan (Tom Beringer) goes out to practice his shooting. Since he's a Good Guy, the targets are silhouettes of hands holding single action revolvers!
 
- Raiders of the Lost Ark when Indy shoots the arab with the scimitars.

- Blazing Saddles when Gene Wilder shoots the guns out of the BGs hands so rapidly you never see him move.

- True Lies when Jamie Lee Curtis drops the MAC-10 and it wipes out a room full of terrorists while bouncing down the stairs.
 
The scene where Indiana Jones cooly pulls out his gun and shoots the swordsman ... what gun did he have anyway? Too bad Harrison ford is anti gun but oh well.
 
better than shooting the sword guy in "Raiders of the lost ark" was in "temple of doom" when he reachs for his revolver and it isnt there.

Indy popping the sword dude in Lost Ark.
From what I understand, he actually wasnt supposed to do that, but Ford wasnt feeling well and got tired of the numerous retakes so he pulled the pistol and improvised.

Can't remember it verbaitum, or even what movie, but it goes something like this:

"Seeing as my gun says desert eagle point .50 down the side, and yours says replica......"

I belive that was a S&W 2nd Model Hand Ejector in .45 ACP with the barrel cut down to 4".

In the Temple of Doom he had a Colt M1917 5" in .45 ACP. In The Last Crusade he had a Webley Mark VI in .455.

:cool:

That was Bullet Tooth Tony in "Snatch." :cool:
 
Ben Shepherd:
It was from Snatch, here's a partial quote (source), due to language.
The fact that you've got "Replica" written down the side of your gun. (withdraws his gun) And the fact that I've got "Desert Eagle point five O" written on the side of mine, should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence.

Also see my sig line for a good one each from John Wayne and Clint Eastwood classics.

But do you know which movies?
 
The only one I can think of right now is where Yelena looked at XXX and said "You have to take the safety off."
 
Independence Day, when the word goes out that the Americans have shot down an alien ship. There's a brief scene when a bunch of troops in a desert are looking at a map and the CO is pointing at the map with his pistol, finger ON THE TRIGGER.

And of course, any movie where someone gets >20 shots off with a pistol without reloading.
 
I vaguely remember it, but the scene from Payback where Lucy Liu(?) pulls out her little gun on Mel Gibson and tries to shoot him but it goes 'click', then he pulls out what looks like a magnum revolver and points it at her.
 
Eraser. and independence day

How many rounds does that Deagle hold anyway?

Erik F! (I D) I love that part! Thought I was the only one that noticed that.

"Please do not fire your weapons at the space ships. You may inadvertently start an interstellar war."

In Raiders, Indy's gun is *supposed* to be a .38 according to the screenplay. They did have 2 different HE2s while filming, and the other may have been a .45. He also had a P-35 Browning that he put to good use in that one.

In Temple of Doom, it is a common mistake that he has a Colt. He actually has the same S&W 2nd HE -- the only shot that you see a Colt 1917 in is when the gun bounces off of the running board of the Deusenberg.

While I'm on an Indy rant, I always have to giggle when in Last Crusade Indy takes a German P-38 and fires it into a line of soldiers. The bullet goes through all three, and the look on his face is classic. :D

FWIW, two people I do not agree with philosophically.

Big Trouble in Little China

When Jack Burton fires several rounds into the air and the dislodged rubble bonks him on the head! Cracks me up!! that whole movie is a hoot!
 
Two from Boondock Saints:
Rocco and the cat.
When Rocco shoots the bag man
and the guy beats him like a punk.

"Maybe it was one guy with six guns?"

The fumagator recalled: "In Raiders, Indy's gun is *supposed* to be a .38 according to the screenplay. They did have 2 different HE2s while filming, and the other may have been a .45. He also had a P-35 Browning that he put to good use in that one."

The pistol is an M1911, not an A1, the revolver is a S&W .38/44 Outdoorsman fixed sights, precursor to the .357 Magnum.

Who told a dealer to label the one on his table, "The Indiana Jones Revolver." Don't know if he did or not, but it was gone within the hour.
 
My favorite scene is in "City Heat"
Clint Eastwood .... Lieutenant Speer
Burt Reynolds .... Mike Murphy

When they take cover and as the fight intensifies each produces a bigger and bigger gun from "concealment."

Geoff
Who wishes he were skinny enough to hide a Artillery Lugar in his truss. :eek:
 
I have one from "The Big Lebowski"--

John Goodman's character witnesses a fellow bowler make a line fault and calls him on it. An argument ensues and out comes a 1911 which he then brandishes about shouting "This isn't Vietnam, there are rules!" After the offender finally marks it as a fault, John Goodman's character calmy sits down and clears the weapon.

"You shouldn't have done that man, he's a pacifist! And you know, he's got mental problems..."

"You mean beyond pacifism??"

:evil:
 
I love, in Fight Club, when Edward Norton shoots as Brad Pitt, while Tyler Durden is standing in front of the white van. Tyler yells "OKAY, You are now firing a gun at your imaginary friend around 500 lbs of nitroglycerin!"


I love that line.


And I can't remember which of the Naked Gun movie's there is a scene where the black cop (o.j.?) Is on the roof, wearing a trench coat. He pulls out a 1911, then reaches into another pocket to get the slencer, then another to get something else, the scene cuts away for a few minutes, than cuts back, and he is holding something that looks like an ar-15, still reaching into his pockets and pulling out accesories. The scene cuts away again and then back a few minutes later and he has turned his 1911 into a stationary anti-aircraft cannon. Anyone remember that? I want to know what accesory kit he's using...
