The King of New York

[The_Shootist]

Saw this movie for about the 12th time tonight and wondered how come it never makes any of the "Best Gun Movie" threads on this (or some other disreputable gun) boards.

Admittedly, it has as much socially redeeming value as an Al Queda recruitment ad and a body count to rival the "Predator" movies.

But if you like relentless gun play - HI cap gun play - where the shootouts aren't just some Hollyweird ballet put to gunshots, this ones for you.

Ak's, FN's, small hand held machine pistols, snubbies, Beretta's, High Powers - if a gun is not in this movie, it probably doesn't exist

I admit, its not exactly a movie to show a girl on your first date (hell, I wouldn't show it to my mom, probably) but as a modern day good vs evil movie, with an excellent cast, its tough to beat.

Oh? didi I say it has lots of gunplay in it as well?

I think you forgot the biggest seller. Christopher Walken !! and a young Laurence Fishburne both playing some psychotic characters.

Its a good movie. I belive in that movie, Laurence Fishburne was still just a comman man and used "Larry" Check credits might be wrong been a while.

Yeah Christopher Walken was amazing... gawd, it's been a long time since I've seen that movie.

You know, they take little sound bytes from that movie and use them as intros to rap songs all the time. Just like they do bytes from Scarface, Goodfellas, etc.

 

[Tom609]

Yup, "Larry," and if Christopher Walken is in it it's going to be psychotic.

I love Walkens' line of, ' If a nickel bag is being sold in the park , I wanna know about it...' or something like that.

For a minute I thought this was about Michael Bloomberg. Just because he has Tiffany's making him a crown doesn't mean anything.

Not really gun-related.
