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

haha i think that shootout where rambo and his bow took out a helicopter that presumably had a mini-gun. Also as far as walker texas ranger goes... since when does Chuck Norris need a gun? last time i checked, a simple glare would cause his enemies to explode.
 
in the new superman movie, a badguy opens up on superman with a minigun. Of course, this doesn't hurt the man of steel. The bad part is, when the minigun fails, the badguy takes out his 9mm and uses that. What was he thinking?

Since seeing the movie, I'm looking into making kryptonite-tipped ammo, but I'm not sure what kind of fouling that would cause.
 
Any scene where the female lead is captured by bad guys, manages to somehow overpower the Bad Guy and escape, BUT leaves a perfectly good gun behind while doing it.. because after all if she took the gun she wouldn't be helpless female in need of rescue anymore, right? Arrghh.

Or any scene where the helpless female lead is managing to escape, by knocking the bad guy down/unconscious (For example, whacking him in the head with a fire extinguisher?), leaves the area.. and the BG wakes up and recaptures her.

I've told my wife, if that ever happens to you, use whatever you need to do that would prevent that whole being grabbed from behind and recaptured thing. Take that fire extinguisher, now that the BG is unconscious he's not moving around so much, make his skull into pudding and he won't be chasing you anymore.

Also watched "Die Another Day" recently - the escape from the parking garage, where, prior to Bond diving into his remote controlled car, the goons are whacking the glass with 20lb sledgehammers and not even chipping it - shot the doors without nicking the paint as well. Yet when they shoot at the car while Bond drives from the back seat, the windshield et.al. shatters like plate glass. :confused:

Actually, that was in "Tomorrow Never Dies". Confused the heck out of me, too...

But "Die Another Day" had enough flubs on its own. Automatic, self-tracking, car mounted SHOTGUNS? Why? To shoot down supersonic missles.....

To think the US Navy spent billions of dollars on the Phalanx anti-missle system when they could have just put a couple of wingshooters on the bow.... :scrutiny:

Aw shoot, well at least "Die" was somewhere in the title.....

I almost OD'd on Bond with the two day marathon over New Years - guess I'm not quite finished with rehab yet. The later Bond's - with Brosnan and Dalton - tend to run together for me anyway.

How about Uncommon Valor?

It's been awhile since I've seen it, but didn't that have a scene where Gene Hackman actually sights in his Garand? I don't remember how cheesy the shootouts were, but it sure doesn't belong in the same class as Commando and the Rambo movies.
 
Slither!

Gal shoots zombie with pump action shotgun. Shotgun fires! Zombie goes down. But there are, of course, more zombies. So she aims shotgun at next zombie. But, she forgot to pump the shotgun. She pulls the trigger; immediate audible click of hammer falling, but no boom. So she throws the shotgun at the oncoming zombies.
 
Remember the A Team? Any shoot out on there. Hundreds of rounds fired and at best a flesh wound or two.

Unless it's a member of the A-team, of course. ;)

How many times did they get shot up to add tension to a sucky story? Too numerous to count, IIRC. :rolleyes:

Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! )
 
Not a movie, but in the original Superman TV series, the bad guy would fire 6 shots from a revolver and Superman (George Reeves) would stand there with his hands on his hips and take all six shots in the chest.

Then the BG squeeze the trigger a couple of more times *click, click, click*, would realize that the gun was empty and he'd throw the now empty gun at Superman before running away.

Superman would always duck out of the way of the thrown gun....:scrutiny: :rolleyes: :scrutiny: :rolleyes: :scrutiny:

Star Wars or I Used To Love It But Now I Hate It!

Greedo shots first!!!!!:fire:

Highly trained Stormtroopers always miss!!!!:fire: (of course the movie would have been a LOT shorter!)

Han shoots like a GIRL!!!!:fire: (sorry ladies, The Sandlot was channeling through my fingers there)

Cute furry things overpower the feared(?) Stormtroopers!!!!!:fire: (with stone age weaponry)

Leia choking a 3000 lb space gangster to death!!!!:fire: (from the outside???the outfit almost redemed that one)

A bumpkin (and a whinny one at that!) manages to hit a 2 meter port in the "Death Star" and blow it up and save the galaxy till the sequiel!!!:fire: (with the sci fi equivelent of having his eyes closed)

Really, the MAD magazine spoofs were so much better.

And now I will leave you with a final whine: "But Uncle O-wen, I was going to go to the Toshi station to pick up some power converters."

Kinda like the Dukes of Hazzard (the dynamite bows) and the A-Team (previously mentioned). Was fun when I was young, but a bore when you're thiry four!

Just remember, they were supposed to be Wookies. But you can find midget actors a lot easier than tall actors.
 
IIRC, in Tomorrow Never Dies the bad guys were shooting up Bond's car with pistols and utterly failing to do anything to it, but when they opened up on the rear window with rifles (AK variants) they started putting dents in it, finally.

I thought it was a good "rifles are rifles, pistols are pistols" sort of thing... I gotta get me some of that glass, in any event.
 
While it's one of my all time favorite movies, Carrie Fisher's "adjustable" rate of fire [as in POW.....POW......POW....POW..POW..POW..POW..POWPOWPOWPOWPOWPOWPOW] AR15/M16 in "The Blues Brothers" is pretty funny, IIRC, she had a 60 or 70 round magazine in it also......NOT. and she misses Jake Blues (John Belushi) with every shot from a distance of 5-10 ft.
 
In 'Road to Perdition' the bad guy shoots a man in the bathtub with a 1911 that has the hammer down. Three shots, all with the hammer down, no spent casings or slide action. Just cheesy computer effects. Annoyed me because otherwise it was an all right movie.
 
Clint Eastwood's early spaghetti westerns where almost every bullet riccochets off of a rock.

And every round Lee VanCleef fires sounds like a Howitzer.:banghead:

Oh, to be sure, the outfit DID redeem that scene. Shame, though, for now she looks more like Jabba than Leia.:D
 
"she misses Jake Blues (John Belushi) with every shot from a distance of 5-10 ft"
Maybe she was just trying out suppressive fire - if not, Ray Charles needed to teach her a lesson in shooting. :D
 
I always assumed the A-Team was missing on purpose. You know, laying down suppresive fire and just scaring guys off.
It would make it even harder to remain "underground" if they left a pile of dead bodies everywhere they went.

My least favorite kind of shoot out is when a bunch of undisciplined thugs make easy work of highly trained teams of law enforcement officers. Not just the beat cops, but high speed entry teams.
For example, Face/Off. As SWAT officers are rappelling from the skylights (?!) and swarming all around, Nic Cage is laughing and not even bothering to aim is he dispatches an entire team with his Desert Eagle or whatever pimp gun it was.:cuss:
 
Anyone seen Equilibrium. Like the concept of GunKata but the scenes were a little over the top even for me. Did like when the man in black and the man in white sword fought with their guns. You'd have to of seen it.
