Gun Movies You Wish They'd Make

[MP-44]

I would like to see Harry Turtledove's World War series made into a mini series.

 

[buzz_knox]

Stephen Hunter's Pale Horse Coming would be an excellent movie, as would his other books.

Without Remorse would be a great movie but I doubt if it would get made. Gun wielding vigilante who gets away with it? Nope. Not PC enough.

Gun wielding vigilante who gets away with it? Nope. Not PC enough.

I don't know. They made FOUR Death Wish movies with Charles Bronson. Not exactly A-list flicks, but they did well enough to keep making sequels...

How about John Ross' "Unintended Consequenses." That tome could be a mini-series. Never happen.

 

[Schuey2002]

A new Dirty Harry flick. Or Heat 2 with a new cast of baddies vs. Al Pacino..

But, I'd settle for Aliens vs. Predator ..

 

[NIGHTWATCH]

Something close to "The Patriot". Except with a detailed analogy of the abuse of law that preceded the attempt to disarm the colonials, up til the first shot fired in resistance. With all the gore and brutality of the british empire, and the obvious choice we faced in its presence.

I was reading a chapter in Larry Pratts (GOA director) book "On the firing line". In it there was one account of a southern plantation that was overrun by british troops. The owners were beheaded. And a pregnant womans womb was cut open and the baby hung from a tree, with the words enscribed beside it "Give no birth to rebels". This is the kind of tyranny that our founding fathers witnessed firsthand and what motivated the kind of courage we read about but fail to truly relate to. I would like to see a movie that cuts us to the core. Not the glossed over, PC versions caught in the span of 2 hours.

More Westerns!

More early Western Frontier too! (mountain men)

...and you don't even want to get me started on what Hollyweird did to Dune.

David Lynch was so upset with how the studio suits edited (read that 'cut prolifically') his version of 'Dune' that he took his name off of it, and attached to it the moniker used by any director who wants to disavow a film he directed: Alan Smithee.

But, I'd settle for Aliens vs. Predator ..

This movie actually went so far as to begin early pre-production a few years ago.
Until Sigourney Weaver quashed the whole thing.

 

[BamBam-31]

The Princess Bride, Pt. II.

 

[modifiedbrowning]

Buckaroo Banzai vs The World Crime League!!

 

[mjustice]

Without Remorse would be a great movie, as long as they find someone other than Will DaFoe to play Clark.

UC would be an amazing movie if done properly. But it would have to be a miniseries because you could not tell the story in 90 minutes or two hours.

I love to see a documentary about lawful use of CCW. Maybe they could play it on PBS here in NYC. Then again, maybe pigs can fly...

Second the nomination for more .30/30 Winchesters. For one of the most popular rifles of all time in North America, you rarely see them. "Streets of Fire" featured one, IIRC. But that's a pretty obscure action movie.

 

[Ian]

"Without Remorse" could be a really, really good movie. Better still would be a properly done movie version of "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress". Or how about F Paul Wilson's "An Enemy of the State"?

We could also use a good movie about he writing and ratification of the Constitution - Federalists vs anti-Federalists, and exploring the deep philosophical differences between Jefferson and Hamilton, plus the roles of Madison, Washington, and others.

actually justin, as of last summer, plans for alien vs predator were still on board.

Dunno, the guy playing Mr Clark in Sum of all Fears did a good job. He had about the right look as well, but he was probably too old.

 

[bogie]

I'd like to see Harry Callahan retire.

And become a "civilian."

Be _real_ interesting to see what happens...

Heh...

 

[Schuey2002]

Justin dashes my hopes.

Until Sigourney Weaver quashed the whole thing

Then, Spacemanspiff comes to the rescue.

About half of the horror movies ever made would make fine firearms flicks. If the writers would give the victims firearms.

I'm thinking, cross "Signs" with Tremors' Burt Gummer, and you could have something pretty good.

Or "Night of the Living Dead", with a well-armed populace, might wind up being "Night of the Dead".

 

[hansolo]

How about one for the kids:


"Harry Potter and the Magic Browning Hi-Power"

 

[Peter Gun]

Now that special effects technology is up to it, I would love to see Clancy's "Red Storm Rising" as a movie. It would be expensive and probably 4 hours long, but could be amazing. If that ones too politically obsolete, how about "Sword Point" by Harold Coyle, or the other book of his that revists the same scenario w/out the Russians. Both of those books give the most realistic view of unlimited modern warfare. I think this would be valuable education for the masses. I've been getting very tired of debating morons about Iraq who think that their conventional army would last more than an hour against our war machine.
