Eric0 wins!

Eric0 wins. The A team has to win the oscar for the poorest prime time television series with poor displays of weapon systems.
 
Last Man Standing - by David Baldacci

The movie is probably true to the book. Have you ever read his books?
I 'm pretty sure that my cat knows more about guns.
 
Lou Ferrigno was in a movie about escaped convicts. Can't remember the title to save my life. The muzzle blasts were added later and were flashy stars. The sound was like a cheesy Sci-Fi movie. I still want that 85 minutes of my life back.
 
Air Force One.

Some of the gunfights are okay, most are horrible.

The one where I sat there saying, "Oh, that's so dumb! Honey, did you see that?!" was:

When the rogue agent took out part of the security team with the silenced pistol, he closed his eyes before each shot.

And:
None of the Secret Service agents are wearing body armor. :barf:

The best part of it was the First Lady screaming as they slid along the rope between the two planes. Comedy!
 
The scene where James Bond shoots Jaws in the teeth which stops the bullet. If remember correctly Bond does it again. Why would he shoot someone in the teeth? Especially someone who has uber strong metal teeth? And then try a follow up shot?

But the gun shooting in James Bond movies were usually good and consistant. That was the scene that always bothered me.
 
Not the worst movie but very unreal the mini-gun Jesse the body Ventura uses in the move Predator, not only would the ammo weigh alot but the mini gun would need a large power supply of some sort never mind the recoil from the weapon.All the real mini-guns i see in pictures are mounted.
 
This one is SO bad, no other is even close... Quest for Fire... butThe Gods Must be Crazy tried to catch it.

I have actually seen that movie. My father in law loves it. I remember seeing Micheal Moores name in the credits.

My vote for worst gun fight in a movie goes to Three Amigos. When Martin Short was forced to a dual with a pistol he could barely lift off the ground, then when he shot it he when flying back like 40 feet on his heels. CLASSIC. :D

Best/Worst

The best is also the worst. In this instance I am referring to...

BLAZING SADDLES!!!!!

Shooting the dynamite from 200 yards away with a single action revolver. Perfect!!! It's such a dang funny movie that it really doesn't matter.

In fact, the same could be said for John Wayne's movie Rio Bravo where in the end they throw the dynamite and shoot it out of the air.

BUT, if you really want some unrealistic gunfights, it would have to be in the movie "Nobody was Faster." Terrence Hill is classic!

They jam, and aliens put his brain between two peices of white bread and eat it. :evil:
 
Ahh, yes. While we're at it, remember the smart bullet-microshells fired from Gene Simmons' pistol in Tom Selleck's Runaway?

Oh yeah. I especially liked the part where one of the bullets is chasing Tom Selleck, and he's actually running fast enough to keep it from catching him. We just see a bullet's-eye-view of the chase, while Tom Selleck keeps looking back over his shoulder at the bullet following him as he's running. LMFAO!
 
Three amigos - a comedy - or an attempt at a comedy - does have one off my favorite lines:

Steve Martin speaking to the gang leader El Guapo:

"I'll pump you so full of lead you'll be using your d**k for a pencil!"
 
I agree with the sun shining through the bullethole on "The Quick and the Dead".

The only thing that could have made it worse was to have sun shining through a smoking bullethole through the guy.:rolleyes:
 
Best and the worst

Worst:

I'm kinda've a sci-fi buff, so the worst out there probably has to be starship troopers. You would think in the future our combat tactics havn't devolved to the point of "run up to your enemy, make a circle all the way around, and shoot indescriminately towards him"

Best:

I'm still a big fan of the movie "aliens". Not only were their weapons bad a$$, but the falling back, and laying covering fire for everyone else was pretty good.

Aliens also had the coolest movie guns of all, plus they also had the autonomous gun turret.

Oh yeah. To be honest, despite all it's flaws, this one is a favorite of mine. The shootouts are hokey to be sure, but all the other flaws, like the wire holding Sulley as Ahnold is holding him over a cliff. How about the cardboard cutouts being blown up?:D And don't forget the in perfect condition Porsche that drove away after being turned over and destroyed. And why didn't we see a load of guts be blown out the pipe before the steam started, when Matrix threw the pipe through Bennett into the boiler?:eek: If you can get past all that crap, the movie is fun.:cool:
 
The Terminator movies starting with T2 where the terminators are instructed to not mete out any fatalities.
 
And how canst thou forget?

Romeo + Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes.

When the idiot pulls a scope from his pocket, sticks it somehow to the top of his chrome plated auto (or was it on the side) , and offs Tybalt riding away in the back of a jeep.

Or was it Mercutio? Methinks I does't remember my Shakespeare too poorly.
 
This one is SO bad, no other is even close... Quest for Fire... butThe Gods Must be Crazy tried to catch it.

Huh? Quest For Fire was set in the Stone Age, and The Gods Must Be Crazy was a slapstick comedy.

I agree with those who nominated Death Wish III. In the finale, the villain has Charles Bronson at gunpoint at a range of about 3 feet, with a BHP no less, if I recall correctly, and Bronson manages to get the drop on him with a hidden antitank rocket.
 
Way off topic,

but in many of his westerns, ever notice that John Wayne usually carried his six shooter at about the 4 o'clock position?
