Most ridiculous gun moment in a movie or TV show.

[RustyShackelford]

Indy/Magnum PI/Die Hard 3

I could swear Jones uses a old 1911a1 .45acp not a 9mm High Power. It could be a Browning P-35 9mm but it does really look like a .45acp 1911a1. I'll check the DVD sometime, .

Here are a few more good tv/film bits;

In a scene from the 80s hit; Magnum PI, Tom Magnum pulls his full size 1911A1 .45 from out of his cowboy boot!
Now Tom Selleck is 6'04" but even he would trouble walking around with a .45acp in his boot all day in HI! Come on!

In Die Hard 3, Bruce Willis/LT John MacClaine shoots 3 or 4 terrorists in a cramped elevator with his 92F 9mm in his Galco shoulder holster. ***!?! Wouldn't the loud noise and spent brass and gunpowder be hard to deal with? Also how could you shoot a semi auto pistol 3/4 times like that?

Rusty,

IIRC, per the Indygear website it was supposed to be a 1911 but the Colts don't run on blanks very well. Apparently it's common in movies for HP's to be subbed in because the look pretty close but can run blanks without stuttering.

Wayne's World 2 was on cable this afternoon. There is a scene where Garth's new "girlfriend" is trying to "imply" he should killer her husband. In that scene Garth finds a pearl handled 1911 in his girlfriend’s purse which she refers to as a “45 Magnum with the clip filed down and the safeties off.”

OK not gun but saving pvt ryan.
The sock sticky bomb that blows up a Tiger tank in one of its most heavily armord areas.

AND a tiger tank the size of a ford focus but I'm getting picky

Law and Order all of them with the hammer clicking back on Glocks

You've got to be kidding me.

Do a google search for "the killer bean" and you'll find it. Nevermind, here it is - http://www.jefflew.com/videos.html

There's a Killer Bean 2? When did it come out? The original was hysterical, I had a hard time breathing in spots.

Just a bean, trying to get some sleep.

That one IS KB2. The first one was really low quality. KB3 was supposed to come out last year, but I only saw the trailer and haven't heard anything since then. KB2 has been remastered though.

I'll have to go watch the DVD again, but as I recall, all they did with the "stickies" was blow the track off to immobilize the tank.

There are actually suppressors just a few inches long. I forget who makes them though, one of the big manufactuers. They are not legal for civilian use because they have to be repacked quite often and the ATF has deemed the repacking material to be an entire suppressor in and of themselves. Imagine having to spend $200 and a background check every few weeks to keep your supressor in working order. I doubt it is hush puppy quiet either.

Actually, the new MI-3 has pretty good gun handeling, aside from a silly scene where Cruise tosses a Beretta to another agent. It spins perfectly so it slips right in her hand.

***VERY MILD SPOILER****
The movie has a pretty cool scene where he explains how to use the Beretta to someone, then that someone proceeds to shoot several trained agents. Silly yes, but at least he told them how to change a magazine!

 

[Arethusa]

MILD SPOILER WARNING

I just saw MI3. The explanation of the 92 was actually really solid, and that person didn't exactly go on to kill piles of people with it afterwards. I could buy the Beretta toss. It was stylized, yeah, but that comes with the territory, and it wasn't unbelievable; I was still really surprised at how realistic the action was.

Except for the scene where Cruise shoots down what appears to be an A10 with a G36 and then can't shoot down a helicopter with the rest of his mag.

 

[John G]

**still more MI3 SPOILERS**



It wasn't an A-10 that Cruise shot down, it was a UAV, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, aka a remote-controlled drone. I actually liked that scene, and the G36 looked great on screen. H

 

[Arethusa]

That actually makes a lot more sense (and explains why that A10 was so damn small). Still mildly silly, but not beyond the conceit of the genre.

In my defense, the quality of the copy I saw was not very... Hm. I should stop here.

 

[Foxtrot427]

dropping UZI in True Lies, the cocking glocks, the sliding shotguns, tiny supressors, chicks who always hit perfectly on target shooting for the first time WITH their eyes closed.

I don't recall what movie, but some swat-esque guys go into a train car apparently with supressed MP5s or somesuch, with laser sights. They fire and kill everyone in the traincar, and the audience is shown the outside of the traincar, with laserbeams shooting out of it. Apparently the bulletholes are such that the sighting beam goes right out of them, plus the laser beams last onyl for a split second, like, really, like it was shooting lasers, or the sight beam was set to pulse a second before the trigger was pulled or something totally useless like that.

of course the lethal weapon scene where a laser sight allows the cop to line up a bank shot, where he bounces the bullet off of some metal and into a guy behind cover.

Another was some cheesy movie with a baldwin in it, he and girl are hiding out at an apartment, guys attack, fire a whole bunch, then you see laser dots moving around. The two have to sneak by, avoiding the laser beams as if touching the beam would be like breaking a trip-wire and causing a bullet to fire. They don't really worry about being out in the open in front of the window where an eyeball can detect them, they only worry about not making contact with the laserbeams

 

[Waywardmonk]

How about Eraser? the bad guys have x-ray scopes ( still waiting to hear the physics behind that one ) and are firing the old standby of depleted uranium bullets from what is essentially a handheld rail gun.

 

[jerkyman45]

What about every single movie where the main character gets blasted in the chest several times but thanks to his bullet proof vest he is indestructable. In the Punisher Frank gets shot about 4 times with a shotgun and it only serves to knock him backwards, but not knock him down or break any ribs. I do like Charles Bronson, but in Death Wish 3 he gets shot several times in the chest and merely pulls the bullets from his vest. It was as if he got shot with a BB gun. Then of course theres back to the future where the doc gets blown away by a Libyan with an AK-47...but he too is unscathed.

I want one of these miracle bullet proof vests.

 

[Carl]

Well to be fair, it did knock the Doc out for a little while.

Grandma was watching one of the daily soap operas and I just happened buy.
There was a lady and a male standing next to a car. It looked like she had just gotten out and he came up from behind the car. She was next to the driver's door, and he was at the rear bumper. For some reason she drew a medium sized revolver on him...she looked so scared (the camera was behind her, facing the man). She kind of stepped forward a bit, fired...and get this...
The guy did the slow motion lean back thing exactly like Neo did in the first movie except with a lot cheesier graphics...
The camera followed the bullet as it hit a fence in the distance, and then he slapped the gun out of her hand.

Hi ! I don't think this, movie moment was too rediculous but I have A Question: .What is the name of a movie that starts off when a sniper kills two men at an airport while getting off the plane? I think he used a big rifle on a tripod shot down into place with a concrete ram-set gun! I havent seen it in several (many )years and in the end of the movie the good guy , hurt and injured bolts down a sniper rifle on top of a car ( ram-set gun agian ) and kills the bad guy driving away down a straight but hilly road and takes him out as he crests the top of the hill! anyne remember this movie?
