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

[John-Melb]

Whilst I'm not sure if it qualifies, as no shot were fired, that bit towards the end of "Quigley Down Under" shattered an otherwise great move, in my opinion.

It's the part where the mounted patrol realise they're being watched from the hills and ride quietly away.

The men of the real mounted patrol would have turned Quigley into a collander (if he'd resisted arrest)and then used any Nungar game emough or foolish enough to stand his ground for carbine or sabre practice.

They were some of the toughest men ever to plant their bums into a government issue saddle!

In April of 1861 Sergeant Middleton and Trooper Hosie, both armed with single shot Constbulary pistols run the bushranger Gardiner to ground at Hoggs shanty. Gardiner was at this time armed with a pair of Colt Navy's. The ensuing gun fight left both policeman wounded, Hosie wounded in the temple and Middleton wounded in the hand, hip and face. With no more bullets left, Middleton closed with Gardiner and battered him into submission with a hammer headed riding crop. Unfortuantely Gardiner was later able to escape when Middleton went for help and Hosie lost conciousness.

Almost as bad as the A team was the recent Mr & Mrs Smith movie. The homestore scene, where Brad & angelina are holed up in the store with about a dozen guys decked out head to toe with all the latest black gear. Of course Brad & angelina are shooting with a gun in each hand, and at one point are facing each other will shooting the BGs behind each others back.
And then they can talk to each other in hushed voices, like they never had discharged a .45 within a foot and a half of eacvh other's ears.

Hollywood needs to hire better bad guys. They all shoot like Hillary and Schumar.

I can't believe that no one mentioned this one. In Rambo, Stallone fires an RPG from inside a crappy old helicopter and shoots down one of those Russian flying tanks. That's just stupid, but the worst part of it was that the back of his chopper was full of escaped prisoners and though they were directly behind him, they weren't affected by the back blast. Truth be told, they would have been fried.

I usually cut movies a lot of slack as far as technical authenticity goes, whether it applies to firearms in action movies or science in science fiction movies, unless the movie makes some kind of claim about authenticity.
However, I've never been able to understand the AWFUL handling of six guns in the old "B" westerns. Usually, the cowboys seem to be "throwing" the bullets out the end of the barrel by swinging the gun forward from over their shoulders. Also, they can wind up holding the gun in all sorts of odd positions if they're sneaking around behind rocks or buildings... Oh, well, I guess it's better than most of the singing...

[Lamb of Gun]

The Dawn of the Dead remake.

The scene in the sewers where the trucker guy is being dragged since his legs are broken.

He's firing from the ground, moving, shooting very fast moving targets and making nothing but perfect headshots, WHILE SHOOTING WITH TWO PISTOLS.

That's the worst part but all the characters make headshots non-stop through the movie with handguns.

Another ridiculous part would be when they shoot Andy the gun store guy. I really don't understand the reasoning for having the only guy with a shotgun in the back of the group. I guess if they object to having the most stopping power as theie first line of defense. Or maybe they're interested in having a big pile of buckshot lodged in their spines when they're under pressure from zombies.

I love zombie movies with all of my heart and I will admit that one is a guilty pleasure but... you know. It's retarded.

 

[The Guy]

Oh come on now. The directors admitted that all the head shots where a bit much. Besides, I gave them a lot of credit by using guns that civies would have. No MP5's and no @$&$* Dessert Eagles, the two action staples of American Cinema these days.

Besides, any movie playing shoot the celebrity look-a-like rocks. Esspecially the "Rosie O'Donnel's too easy part".

 

[ctdonath]

Just saw UltraViolet.
Granted it was profoundly "comic book style".
...but, out of a few hundred professional security guard armed with machineguns, can't ONE take a SIMPLE AIMED SHOT AND HIT HER? from a distance, perhaps?

 

[jerkyman45]

Ultraviolet is the WORST MOVIE EVER MADE. I got dragged into seeing that piece of trash, and I laughed throughout the whole movie. The militant medical establishment? How about the flamethrower handgun? That would deliver what, 1.2 seconds of burn? The worst shootout in the whole movie was on the rooftop, when all the Japanese guys stood in a circle around Ultraviolet girl and started unloading. Long story short, she bounced around, and ever single Japanese got shot by another Japanese guy. It was awful. Horrendous. Made me want to vomit. It is just that bad. White SIG 551's firing full auto, and the guys missing ever single time. About 48 Million rounds were fired in this movie, almost all of them at the Violet girl, and every single one of them missed horribly. They were shooting at her with a minigun, and not only did she somehow defy the rules of gravity with a fashionable belt buckle, they missed her everytime and she took down the chopper with a handgun. Worst movie ever, nevermind shootouts.

 

[buzz_knox]

Ultraviolet is the WORST MOVIE EVER MADE.

Ever seen Ghost Dog, with Forrest Whitaker?

 

[jerkyman45]

nope, how bad is it?

 

[buzz_knox]

Bad. Whitaker is an assassion who attempts to combine the gangsta culture with Bushido. Hilarity ensues.

The best part of the movie is turning it off to laugh at it, and the bits of quotations of Bushido philosophy used to separate chapters.

 

[Fed168]

The book Last Man Standing and the movie are two different stories. The book is waaay better than the movie.

How about Wonder Woman knocking the shots away with her magic braclets, speaking of superheros?

 

[Rumble]

buzz_knox, Ghost Dog doesn't sound half as bad as Ultraviolet was.

I got Ultraviolet on PPV, and by about 30 minutes in, I just kinda wandered away. Never watched the end, or cared. Awful, awful movie.

 

[Evil_Ed]

No, no, no... Ultraviolet is the second worst movie ever made... BloodRayne is the all time worst movie ever.

 

[MikePGS]

See in Ultraviolet she was using the Gun Kata like in Equilibrium (Same director... didn't see ultraviolet and didn't bother seeing all of Equilibrium). This is kind of obscure, but have any of you seen the movie "Stone Cold" starring Brian Bosworth? Apparently, whenever you shoot something... anything really... it explodes! This movie is watching just for the hillarity factor. It includes such priceless scenes as someone shooting a motorcycle engine, which causes it to explode. A bad guy slipping on a broken container in a supermarket which for some reason LAUNCES him into a carefully stacked group of cans, Brian Bosworth driving his motorcycle off of a building (or maybe he used cars for ramps?) and leaping off, which causes the motorcycle to hit a helicopter (which blows up) at which point bosworth crashes through a couple of stories of glass, instantly gets to his feet, and punches someone, which kills them instantly. Hillarious. Check out this opening scene (though they cut off a great cheesy line "Cleanup in Aisle 4" which is at the end)

Gangsta culture? I think you mean mafia. He surely wasn't a gangsta.

I thought it was an okay movie. Better than a hell of a lot of other movies I've seen, and worse than some.
Notice I didn't say realistic.
He shoots like 20 mafia guys and not one of them is wearing a vest?

 

[Cosmoline]

I just saw the worst movie shootout ever. It's this entire film, "Running Scared":

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10004288-running_scared/

Every single gun-related cliche you can imagine and a dialogue that's too bad to be so bad it's funny. It hurt to watch it. It made the "gunkata" of "Equilibrium" seem like the bank shootout in "Heat." To make it worse, the director tried to inject a deeper meaning into the thing. It also gets an award for the creepiest chester subplot of any film since "Leon." It's a film so bad I think the makers should be physically punished.

 

[taliv]

not the worst shootout of all time, but maybe the worst single incident of gun useage: Torque http://imdb.com/title/tt0329691/

it was a crappy movie to begin with (saw parts of it on cable today) but at one point, the protagonist used a shotgun to shoot the handcuffs off of a chick.

they weren't even the old-style with the little chain. they were the ones that are connected directly with a hinge. and he was standing directly in front of her perhaps 10' away when he fired directly at her hands which were straight in front at waist level.

i can only assume if it were shot, the lower-half of her torso and arms would be perforated. if it were a slug, it would have shoved those cuffs through her intestines and the wall behind her.

in any event, i laughed out loud for a good little while


edit to add: i'm watching a show on sci fi network where an F15 just used a sidewinder missile to blow up a meteor... HEH

 

[Titan6]

Don't know of it has been hit or not but the whole middle part of 'The Island' while in LA.

The bounty hunters are trying to capture the clones. They shoot it out for a good half hour in most surrealistic fashion between cops, bounty hunters, a dozen MVAs, air craft crashes, fully automatic weapons, explosions, you name it. They trap the clones on top of a sky scrapper building sign on the side of the building in the middle of the day in the middle of down town with police helicopters and bounty hunters closing in...

The head bounty hunter speaks into his radio to his henchmen in a most serious fashion 'If you can't capture them quietly you might have to take them out'. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes....

 

[AlaskaErik]

The 1957 release of Gunfight at the OK Corral. It bore absolutely no resemblance to the real gunfight there.

 

[doughboy]

I found some of the gunfights Hopalong Cassidy won somewhat hard to believe,but who am I to question?
Also ,some of Sky King's...

 

[Nightcrawler]

It would make it even harder to remain "underground" if they left a pile of dead bodies everywhere they went.

Tell me about it.

 

[JLStorm]

I dont have a worst movie...but I am SO sick of watching a movie where someone shoots a gun at someone else and the person being shot at has the time to see the flash, hear the gunshot AND still move out of the way before the bullet makes a hole in the wall behind them!

If anyone has had the misfortune of seeing the direct to DVD/garbage can sequel to (the ****ty-Heinlein-bashing-liberal-pinko-hippie-scum-movie-version of) Starship Troopers, Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation; it pulls double-duty with ****ty firefights (they don't even use the "Matilda" rifles from the original movie, I swear they use blue LEDs for the firing effect, and the muzzle brakes look like chicken-wire) and soul-crushing levels of awfulness. It lends itself to MST3K treatment though, if you don't mind subjecting your friends to it...

 

[Nomoney]

I would have to say any movie where someone is firing two handguns at once. I don't even think it looks that cool.
Bad Boys 2 probably takes the prize in that department.

Has anyone ever seen Triple X with Vin Diesel.

I love how he jumps his dirt bikes off of nothing, they just magicly defy gravity. And of course the scene where he outruns an avalanche on a snowboard.
