Guns in movies

[blindndead]

This thread is just for fun. I want to know What your favorite shootout is from the movies. from westerns, war movies ,action, SCI-FI anything that you think kicks butt. Let me go first. For me all I need to say is Jesse the Body Ventura in Predator 1987 jungle lawnmower... Crazy cool

 

[Nathan Williams]

Easy for me the lobby scene in the first Matrix, or the scene with the minigun in the helicopter. What a beautiful sight to behold all the .308 brass and links raining down on the steet below.

 

[Zach S]

I cant says its a favorite, but its definatly up there:

"There's always free cheese in a mousetrap."

 

[carlrodd]

the last shootout in the wild bunch is seriously entertaining....so is the first. the last scene in saving private ryan set a new and very high standard for combat in movies.

 

[usp9]

Butch Cassidy & Sundance

The final shootout. They actually miss a few times and Reload!

I liked that.

 

[1911JMB]

Any shoot out from Dillinger. The Wild bunch is pretty good to, but its not on the same level as Dillinger in my opinion.

 

[MechAg94]

I guess it would be either the shootout at the end of Unforgiven or the shootout at the end of Open Range. Even though Open Range showed shotguns knocking people 20 yards in the air.

 

[Deanimator]

Pretty much anything in "Last Man Standing" with Bruce Willis.

Irish gangster: "What are you going to do, SHOOT me?"

Bruce Willis: "It'll hurt if I do..."

 

[Erebus]

The assault on the palapa in Predator. The mini-gun was nuts. Even though it wasn't at all realistic it was spectacular to watch.

 

[Ben Shepherd]

The opening of the shootout in Open Range is awesome.

In fact the entire shootout scene has only 2 big flaws in it. VERY well done overall.

Rifles sound like rifles, pistols like pistols, etc.

 

[hankdatank1362]

As far as something that was actually realistic (I guess, I've never been in a shootout) was the scene from collateral where Vincent is in Club Fever and demolishes an entire gang of bg's with his H&K USP. I would love to know what caliber his is using in the movie.

 

[CAS700850]

Several favorites come to mind.

John Wayne in The Shootist, a favorite from my youth.

Jody Foster vs. Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs. Love to watch her dump the brass and reload after emptying her Smith Model 13. Very realistic to watch her hands shake, but she still gets it done.

Did enjoy the typical responses...Open Range, Heat, Ronin, etc.

 

[TonyB]

Outlaw Josie Whales...when they're defending the homestead....
The Way of the Gun..last shootout(j frame work by James Caan)
High Plains Drifter..Eastwood using an extra cylinder to reload his SA(why didn;t more people think of that?)
Sin City..just saw this one last week..when Bruce Willis is shooting out of the car and explaining how nobody takes their time and aims ,they just empty their guns as fast as they can.

 

[Aggie's Revenge]

Not exactly a movie but Band of Brothers when the company goes online and assualts the German position at the river. The camera work in that was amazing to say the least.

Of course the bank shoot out in Heat. Greatest example of fire and manouver on film.

And for a really obscure movie reference... The movie Lighthorse (Austrailian made) at the end where the Mounted Infantry Division do a calvary charge against Turkish troops at Bethsheba. (It shows the Turks setting the range too high on their machine guns) Good movie made in the 80's.

 

[Black Majik]

Modern: Bank Heist shootout in HEAT, Way of the Gun, Ronin

War: Gettysburg, Black Hawk Down (whole movie)

Western: OK Corral shootout in Tombstone



Honorary Mention: Bad Boys II. Shootout with the Haitians before the chase scene.

 

[mcneill]

Open Range - "You the one that killed our friend?"
"Yeah, I enjoyed it."
BANG!

Shane - "I heard you're a low-down-yankee liar."
"Prove it."
BANG, BANG...

TV Mini-series: Lonesome Dove when Gus rescued Lorena from the Comancheros. - "They scare easy at night."

Mr. & Mrs. Smith

at shoot out at the end, although that song always gets stuck in my head and it takes a week to get out.

The end of "True Romance" is great also.

 

[JesseL]

I always enjoyed the scene in The Good The Bad And The Ugly where Tuco is mix and matching the Colt parts to his liking. I know it's silly and unrealistic, but it's a very fun gun scene.

 

[dust_101]

Another nod to the main bank robbery in Heat... fantastic fire/movement, and the echos of gunfire bouncing off the surrounding buildings... and that last shot of Pacino drawing a bead on Sizemore carring the child human shield (you knew he was dead as soon as he picked up the kid)

awsome flick.

 

[High Planes Drifter]

I liked Band of Brothers when they are taking the German gun position on D-Day. Of course Heat also comes to mind anytime someone starts talking about gunfights in movies. Saving Private Ryan, close to the end, when they are trying to stop the Germans from advancing over the bridge; the sniper quoting scriptures from the Bible as he was picking Germans off - that was awsome.

 

[IfYouOnlyKnew]

O Brother Where Art Thou. George 'Baby Face' Nelson while escaping from John Law in a car picks up the three main characters. Shoots back at the cops with his Tommy gun and then at some cows to block the road. George: "Cows? I hate cows more than coppers!" Delmar: "Oh, George, not the livestock!"

 

[Wes Janson]

No mention of briefcase retrieval methods?

 

[f4t9r]

I like Open Range and Last man standing is another good one.
The last scene of Quigley Down Under is short but I like that also.

 

[3fgburner]

Silly, but...

Patton vs Ju87 Stuka.

 

[db_tanker]

For a Few Dollars More. The music is my cell phone ringer.

Who can beat Clint and Lee both?


Of course, just about any Sergio Leone spaghetti western can fit in here.


Lets not forget The Killer...

I know...magazines that never empty are signatures of John Woo and Chou Yun Fat...but still have to love those bullet ballets.
