Favorite Movie Shotgun?

Purely for comedic value:

4 barrelled shotgun from Phantasm (or one of the sequels...)
IIRC he pulls all 4 at once from the hip in one scene LMAO.

Vitto’s side by side 10 gauge in ‘Appaloosa’.

It would almost seem pump-guns were fairly made for Sam Peckinpah!
Killer Elite
The Getaway
The Wild Bunch
Convoy
Doubles figure strongly in his movies as well.

Honorable mention for me for one of the most balls-to-the-wall (literally for the character) shots from moviedom with Charles Bronson as Albert Johnson tossin' buck from a 1912.


Todd.

Wanted dead or alive with Rutger Hauer. Shorty pump gun. Terrorist gets his in a cool ending. Really liked the child's car seat gun storage!

Once again from the finest Sci-Fi movie (and possible the best movie evar!!!) to ever grace the silver screen!

Aliens:

A cut down Ithaca model 37 with a pistol grip in the hands of Corporal Hicks. Even in a future as deadly as Aliens where the bad-guys have molecular acid for blood and the good-guys are armed with caseless 10mm the old Ithaca holds it own.

ETA:

The 1887 is flat cool but weighs a ton. 97 trench gun is also cool. Chinese have knocked both off and uncertain if they are as good as originals.

Viggo's double in Appaloosa was actually an 8 gauge; the books make a big deal out of it being it's such a big gun.

The Greener's* from Big Jake have to be my favorites. JW: "Sam, close or far?" Sam: "Close; my eyes, no good."

*They really aren't Greener guns, most likely cheap-o US hammerguns that had been bobbed off in the film co's armorer's shop. They still look neat.

Billy the Kid killing Bob Olinger in young guns 2. Bob’s 10ga loaded with nickels I think?

Dimes. One of my favorite movies

Jack Elam in Rio Lobo. John Wayne tells Jack “you ain’t going to hit em with that scatter gun “ or something to that effect. Jack answers “You don’t mind if I shoot do you? It makes me feel better

Apparently, 18 of them:

"Best dollar-eighty I ever spent!"

Probably a damn good vampire load as well being full o' silver.

Winchester 1887. Made popular by the Terminator 2 film where Arnold does a one handed flip while on motorcycle. And yes I still want one. Even if it is a knock off and not a real Winchester. When every shotgun around is a pump or semi-auto, a lever action just looks cool to me. I would not be stupid enough to try cocking and firing it with one hand though.

Nor would I, but then we aren't Cyberdine Systems Model 101, are we?

I can't find a picture.
The James Caan movie, Alien Nation, where the "bad alien" has the revolving shotgun that shoots through the car.

For its effective use, how about the Spanish Zabala in Scarface? It didn't seem like anything short of an RPG was going to take Tony down.

Are you thinking maybe of the Benelli Super 90 with a likely fake drum magazine?

Only attempt if you are a 400 pound, crazy strong cyborg from the future.

That was my favorite movie shotgun as well. It was always magically loaded with slugs too!

Aluminum barrel was used to make it light enough.

I was always partial to that 3-brrel shotgun pistol that Alice carried in a few of the Resident Evil movies.



It's just oddball enough to have caught my attention.

Or the thrice-barreled pumps from Stargate Atlantis.

Yes- I forgot about that! Made me want one real bad as a broke HS Senior.

I broke my piggy bank, incidentally as HS senior, when The Hitcher featuring SPAS 12 came out. Still have it, lost the folding stock in mid 00's when we moved (ouch...) and should find a replacement. An awful shotgun to shoot, even with the fixed stock, but does it look cool or what.

Love this movie. But face mask in this pic gives 2020 PTSD.

Looks like an old Mossberg 500. My dad had one just like that. Sling swivel and stock.

Do video games count? If so Metro 2033.

Because I'd love to have a belt fed shotgun. Perfect for when its after the nuclear war apocalypse and you are roaming through the mutant infested tunnels of the Moscow metro.

The SxS Viggo Mortensen carried in Appaloosa. It was an 8 gauge, not a 10 gauge.

Yeah, he told you about 50 times throughout the movie.

Speaking of Rutger Hauer, I actually like the plain Jane 870 Police he uses in the grind house throwback Hobo With A Shotgun.

Its not so much the gun itself, but the fact that this guy has a literal choice to make between using his scraped together cash to make a better life for himself or clean up the streets. Ridiculous movie that would make a Troma flick blush at times, bit has a few tender/emotional moments where he actually elevates the movie a bit. I can't figure out if it is artsy or schlock or both...but I am a sucker for a good pump gun, and the more basic the better
