Ok, what is the WORST movie shootout of all time?

Gosh, they are all pretty bad. Does anyone know of any good ones?

Didn't feel like scrolling through 6+ pages, so if this is a dup, ignore it.

"What's up Tiger Lilly" a grade C- Japanese action movie that Woody Allen overdubbed his own English dialogue that didn't have much (or anything) to do with the movie. The dialogue has something to do with trying to steal a recipe for bagels iirc. Hilarious. Probably in the Mid or late 60's.

A gun battle is raging on a freighter and one of the oriental actors leans over to his partner and says, "Watch me shoot 6 times and get 10 guys" and proceeds to do so.

The movie Deep Rising, actually the whole movie is a riot.

The mercs use rifles that are the latest Chinese weapons, 5 barrel gatlings, 30 cal, with a 1,000 round magazine (helical like a Calico).

At one point one of the mercs tries to shoot himself in the head, only the pistol is out of ammo, but not slide-locked.

One of the worst I have seen has to be the first gunfight in the beginning of "Running Scared." It's a fairly recent movie and has Paul Walker in it.
There are 3 or 4 "dirty cops" with short barreled 12 gauge pumps shooting up a VERY small hotel room full of mafia "goombas", the goombas take cover behind a matress and end up winning the gunfight, not losing a single one of their guys. Each dirty cop must have fired at least 10 shots without reloading.

Oh man did this thread remind me of some "classics."

I saw Raw Deal when I was a little kid in the middle of a *big* Arnold obsession--I saw every movie he made up the point where I was about 11 (except Last Action Hero--I didn't understand why my dad wouldn't take me to see it until I caught it on cable a decade later, and boy oh boy was he right for not wanting to waste money on that thing.) Hands down though, even worse than Red Heat, I remember watching Raw Deal and thinking "this is really, really bad" even as a kid.

+1 on "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"

Especially the final gunfight! At the end they are standing back to back... all the SWAT guys are dead or dying... they are sweat stained, dirty, disheveled..

THEIR BODY ARMOR HAS A CRATER IN EVERY SINGLE SQUARE CENTIMETER, BUT THE BULLET IMPACTS STOP RIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THEIR ARMOR!!!

Not a single scratch on either of them - apparently the body armor not only stops bullets dead cold and saps them of all their kinetic energy, but it also magnetically draws in every round.

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL

good gun fights are anything in Firefly.

The Bond film Tommorrow Never Dies,when Bond and Wai Lin,are aboard Elliot Carvers stealth ship and have a shootout with MP5s and handguns.This was a bit corney,but I guess people say,that it is a Bond film.

Rambo films.

Die another Day. Target-seeking shotguns shooting down Zao's mortars.

Return of the Jedi. Can anyone honestly say, that if they were in a forest moon with vicious teddy bears, you wouldn't instantly call for NAPALM?

Robocop 3. Robo's chasing McDagget, the Rehab commander, who's shooting at Robo's pimp car (no, really) with a 6-shot rotary grenade launcher that has a Mac-10 strapped to the bottom of the barrel sideways.

Navy Seals,when one of them fires a stinger missile out of the Mercedez-Benz car,that they stole.Also,in the scenes before that,when a Seal uses a Barret M82,to blow holes in walls,in an attempt to kill a terrorist,whilst suffering little,against the might of a .50 caliber rifle.

mission Impossible 2.
Romeo and Juliet Film (1996) Gas station scene at begining.

You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end.."

I think that the Ewoks,would certainly run to the hills,If they had Lt. Col. William Kilgore,as the leader of that strike team in Endor,so would Darth Vader.(1996 version.)

While it's no great revelation that Hollywood is extremely liberal, their utter disdain for us gun-toting Neanderthals in the Heartland often simmers just below the surface in their product -- and that attitude is rampant in the actual studios, production co's, agencies, and film schools -- which is why we get such cinematic crap that's essentially designed for the ballistically-illiterate Dumbed-Down ditz-teen movie market.

I can assure you that a writer, director, or producer who is (a) gun-smart, (b) has military experience, and (c) believes in the right of armed self-defense... is a very rare bird in any corner of the Hollywood system. Beyond that, such a filmmaker will be subjected to egregious discrimination and shunning. Just ask the dozen or so members of the "Hollywood Republicans!"


This is total BS. You can't judge the entire Hollywood industry over what a bunch of liberal directors and actors say. The movie industry is an INDUSTRY. Grips, camera men, cinematographers, screenwriters, script doctors, boom mike operators, special effects people, delivery drivers, etc. THAT is Hollywood, not the outspoken liberal directors and talent.

Please don't write off an entire industry as mindless liberals when you're only experience with that industry is from watching the big screen. Hollywood is not as liberal as you think. That and you don't seem to have much, if any, experience in the business if you think that anyone in the movie business with military experience is a "rare breed" and that people in the business who aren't liberals are blacklisted.

Producers don't give a crap what your political views are if you can make $50 million or more profit with one movie. Hollywood is a BUSINESS, not a political party. There are plenty of non-liberals in the business. Just because the liberals are the most outspoken doesn't mean that Hollywood is 100% liberal.

The reason we get dumbed-down teen crap is because those movies make money. They have the most mass appeal. Hollywood is a business and in order for a business to survive, it must make some movies to appeal to the lowest common denominator so they can make a profit. It takes revenues from crappy movies to make one really good movie.

Predator. The scene where all the guys are blasting into the woods and cant see the beast, they pretty much level everything and still don't hit anything. I ain't got time to bleed!

Blasphemy! That scene in Predator is one of the best firearms depictions on film!!! EVAR!!!!!

Ok how about anything from an A-Team television episode.

....sorry, had to do it!

Oh come on, do you know how much skill it takes to shoot thousands of rounds at your enemies and avoid hitting them? An amatuer would just mess it up by hitting the target... the marksmen of the A-Team were wise enough to simply intimidate people Also I can't stress enough how bad the movie "Stone Cold" with Brian Bosworth is. Awful Awful Awful... but in a fun way. Every single time something is shot it explodes, regardless of what it is. In addition to that, it includes fun scenes such as Brian Bosworth driving his motorcycle over a ramp (which was there for some reason) and launching it into a helicopter... but at the last moment he jumps off, crashes through several sheets of glass, and lands inside a building, where he immediately punches a bad guy, instantly killing said bad guy whilet leaving bosworth without so much as a scratch. Priceless.

Operation Delta Force was the most repulsive disgusting excuse for a movie I have ever seen in my life. Shoot outs were approaching soap opera cheesiness. Who lets these idiots make movies?

Has to be the opening gunfight in Star Wars Episode IV, when the Stormtroopers storm the rebel ship, fire "laser guns", and you can see the empty cartridge cases from the blanks on the floor .

All you guys are way off base. The most unrealistic scenes ever in a movie are in Mars Attacks. Come on now! Who is gunna believe that Grandma can actually make the heads of the aliens explode just by playing a Slim Whitman song? Nonsense. Everyone knows that it takes Vickie Carr or Ann Murray songs to do that kind of damage.

Commando with the Gov. 4 or 5 bad guys can't hit him on an open field with their AK's, but he can spin and nail them all....time after time. Of course, the movie is not meant to be serious.

DIRTY HARRY

Anyone ever notice that in that famous seen where harry clicks on the spent chamber, he cocks the mod29 in one shot, but then when he pulls the trigger, it is a double-action pull, i.e. you can see the cylinder rotate as he pulls the trigger.

Seems like in a such a movie they wouldn't let that one go. I'll bet they chose to do it that way because the sound of a DA dry fire is cool, but the sound of a SA dry fire is just a single click.

Me. My head feels like exploding whenever I hear that idiot singing. I used to have to turn off the TV so I didn't see his damn commercials.

Helen Reddy Too. The Soviets planted her in America to torture a nation.

Anyhoo, the worst shootout I saw was actually done on purpose as humor, and I forget the movie, but Leslie Nielson was behind a trash can and 2 feet away behind another trash can was the guy he was shooting at. They both had snubs and were terrible shots at 2 feet. Not only did they miss each other, but missed the trash cans too. When they ran out of ammo, they threw their guns at each other and missed. Does anyone know the movie?

there was some movie with Ice Cube in it, where he was an assasin, and his boss had all his assasins meet at this abandoned jail. and they all had to kill themselves, ive never seen a girl shoot 2 DE 50s accurate at the same time. that was pretty bad, and they even say that they only have one clip, lol.. they just keep shooting and shooting.

EDIT** I just looked it up, and its Ice-T and the movie is Mean Guns, its filmed like a 90s porno, and acting is just as good.

Does anyone know the movie?

That would be one of the Naked Gun movies I believe.

Another bad one is 3000 Miles to Graceland. In the big fight at the end Ice-T is upside down, feet tied to a rope, spinning around with two SMGs in his hands, moving across the warehouse, and shooting the SWAT team. Silly.
The fight at the beginning of the movie is pretty fun,though.

P12:
"The Farmer 1977 version.

So bad it's never been released to anything rentable.

Good guy waiting under a car for the bad guy to come to the car and get in. Good guy blows his feet off at the ankles and when he falls down hits him in the chest with a shotty that blows the bad guy across the parking lot.

Oh, and the buckshot used in the shotty was coated with cyanide.

I think I'm the only person I know that has ever seen or even heard of this movie."

That's about the only thing I remember from it. Maybe for the better.

And to think I thought I was the only person who saw it! I've looked for years for a copy of this movie. You wouldn't happen to have it would you?

That would be one of the Naked Gun movies I believe.

It might of been done in the movies (I haven't seen them all), but I'm pretty sure the gag was originally done in the Police Squad! TV show, on which the Naked Gun movies was based.
