Rambo 3. Richard Crenna is hanging from the ceiling by his wrists. The Russians are interrogating/torturing him--demanding information about the "missiles being given to the Afgan rebels". Finally the chief interrogator says, "You have tried my patience long enough!" He pulls his pistol, racks the slide, and presses the pistol--with the slide locked back OUT of battery and the barrel exposed into Crenna's neck. He growls, "I won't ask you again...." (or something like that). It all just looked so cheesy and stupid.....:banghead:

Remember the Lone Ranger's gun that shot Silver Homing Bullets that could thread their way through a crowd and knock the bad guy's gun out of his hand?
A SPAS-12 was used in T1 but IIRC, the pump Sarah Connor was using in T2 was an 870.
A little hard to tell exactly what shotgun it is from this photo,
but definitely not a SPAS-12. I think possibly that the over folder stock is goofing some folks up as it being a SPAS-12.

My brother was watching a John Wayne flick last night (Big Jake)...
In the movie, John Wayne asks his son about his funky pistol. "It's a 1911," he says. The Duke remarks that it's only 1909 , and then his son pulls out his gun to show him... and as close as I can tell, it's a Walther P38. 
That's gotta be the rarest 1911 I've ever seen.
On the other hand, though -- the other night he was watching another Duke movie, El Dorado. From the little I saw of it, I saw some impressive gun handling. In the movie, John Wayne has a bullet in his back that occasionally presses on something and makes his right hand useless... so he draws behind his back with his left hand.
I know it ain't much, but I was surprised to see that... especially in a John Wayne movie.

Though not realy in the category of being ridiculous - John Woo's handling of Windtalkers was an absolute disaster. I can't quote specific scenes cos the film was so forgettable but overall, it was a very unrealistic portrayal of war.
This is easy to understand when you realise this guy from Hong Kong has never even fired a real live round before he went to Hollywood.

I think the 12ga used in T2 was a Mossberg, though I do not remember the model.

Windtalkers was great, Nic Cage with his Push pointing the blast and bullets out of the 1911's and every one else shooting in the dirt with Garands causes "all fall down"
the GI Joe cartoons were great also 200 tons of cartoon explosives and millions of rounds and no wounded or KIA

saw a couple minutes of COPS the other night, reruns from pittsburg....crook has a AB-10 with hollowpoints. the officer on camera described it as "nylon coated so it will cut through bullet proof vests".

Two Thoughts
- Look at the shape of the lifter visible in the picture. Its not a mossberg. It looks like an 870.
- Does anyone know the lyrics to the MST3K theme? Especially that last bit?
Top Secret! (1984) - Val Kilmer
- Guy with machine gun blazes away at a crowd of people, only bad guys fall down.
- Guys shooting out windows use the walls as cover, one guy stands with back to window instead of wall.
- Guy tries to break window with revolver. Revolver shatters.
Most of the time that's about as real as Hollywood gets.

This film is called Love and a Bullet and stars Treach (the guy who likes doing handstands), member of rap group Naughty By Nature. There are definitely some goofy blaxploitation elements, especially during the finale, but there were some good gun-handling moments in the beginning. The main character joins a gang as a hit-man and decides to actually learn to shoot, so while his partners are sitting in a bar with a bunch of honeys, we see him sitting alone cleaning his guns. They go out to kill a bunch of rival gang members, and most of them are shooting gangsta-style with their guns held sideways, blazing away and not hitting anything. Then he steps up, holds his handgun with both hands, aims, and calmly shoots all the rival gang members.
The only other thing I really remember about the movie was that there was some full nudity... of Treach.
I really didn't need to see that.Nightcrawler

(From Episode 513 on
In the not to distant future,
Way down in Deep 13,
Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank,
Were hatching an evil scheme!
They hired a temp by the name of Mike,
Just a regular joe they didn't like,
Their experiement needed a good test case
so they conked him on the noggin and they shot him into space!
"We'll send him cheesy movies!"
(Woo-woo-woooo)
"The worst, we can find!"
"He'll have to sit and watch them all,
and the monitor is mine!"
Now keep in mind Mike can't control,
where the movies begin or end!
He'll try to keep his sanity,
with the help of his robot friends!
ROBOT ROLL CALL
CAMBOT!
GYPSY!
TOM SERVO!
CROOOOOOW!
If you're wondering how he eats and breathes,
and other science facts
(la la la)
Just repeat to yourself "it's just a show"
"I should really just relax!"
For MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER THREE THOUSAND!
*sigh* God I'm such a dork.

Thefumegator, Wasn't the gun in Big Jake a 1910 Bergman-Baynard?
I know it wasn't a Walther.
spacemanspiff, I saw that episode of COPS too. What a joke!
That bald moron actually said it had a 30 round magazine full of KTW. First he said it had teflon coated bullets and then changed it to nylon coated bullets. I think that episode was from 1994. I seriously doubt that a street thug in Pittsburg in 1994 could manage to find 30 rounds of KTW in 9mm.
From the tone of voice of the officer spewing that rubbish, it sounded like he needed to change his underoos.

Why bother with all that unnecesary exhertion when everyone knows it's impossible to hit someone as they're climbing up a ladder?
Ditto for the A-team.
- Gunman standing on roof shooting at you.
- Throw grenade at him.
- Grenade explodes behind him.
- Explosion hurls him off the roof.
- Gunman gets up and runs away.
And wherever you are, there's always an arc-welder and enough scrap metal to build a fully-functioning armoured car

Would these be the special, action-cartoon sub-light-speed lasers, that can easily be dodged (most of the time), and which are powerful enough to blast holes in walls, but will only stun a human?

Ah, that sounds more like it. It still isn't the 1911 he claims it to be though. I find it particularly disgusting that they couldn't find the housefly of handguns to put in his hand.

Looking at that picture of Sarah Conner from T2 that is a Remington 870. I'm 100% sure.
Look at the shell lifter. Mossbergs have an open port and utilize two arms to lift the shell. That is an 870 lifter, heavens knows I've got scars and calluses on my thumb from learning to speed load one of those things.
Also if you look at the magazine extension, it is a Choate, you can tell by the shape of where it screws onto the tube. Mossbergs threads extend out past the end of the pump a bit.
It isn't a SPAS 12 at all. It has a top folder stock, but top folders in that style have been manufactured for the 870 for decades. The factory police top folder looks like that. The SPAS pump rides on a sheet metal cage looking thing that runs over the mag tube.
Also you can see a little light spot up ahead of the trigger guard. That is the action release. The Mossberg's is behind the trigger guard. The SPAS has a strange contraption.
Nope it is an 870.

True Lies has the best bottomless magazine scene ever. Bad guy busts into the bathroom with a krinkov with what looks like 2 30 round mags taped together. He proceeds to riddle the bathroom with a barrage of fire that would make a minigun look inadequate.

I have seen the evidence..
An I refute my clame of ever having seen the SPAS 12 in T2. I was remembering the top folding stock/ammo carrier. The scene in the desert features the hispanic dude using a Mossy.
"Uncle Bob?"
There was this one John Wayne movie where this kid was tagging along. The Duke gets him this really short sawed off shotgun that has the recoil of a howitzer. I can't remember the name though. Ubsurd but very funny.
In True Lies, look closely in the bathroom scene, just before Haziz kicks open the stall doors. You can see the marks left by the tape to hold the squibs.

You might be thinking of "The Apple Dumpling Gang." It's at least a good example. There is a huge gunfight at the end, with no reloads and no wounded. My favorite was the lead character, Donavan, wailing away with a pocket derringer, looks like one of those double-barreled 2-shot deals. He's shooting across main stree, a distance of at least 30 feet. And he doesn't reload either. A funny movie though. "Mister, I gotta pee..."
