Worst movie shootout scene

You have to love any movie where the bad guy is a 40 yr old punk rocker wearing leather pants and a chainmail shirt.

That guy looked like Freddie Mercury on steroids who forgot to work out.:neener:
 
You can't call spaceballs shootouts bad, i mean come on its MEANT to be cheesy, and super futuristic laser guns have no recoil DUH!

Very nice analogy but there is just something about leather and chainmail that just screams BA (sorry Pinned and Recessed). Don't forget that Vernon Wells was also the crazy mohawk guy in The Road Warrior and the head biker in Weird Science.

"You remember,Sully, when I said that I would kill you last?
"Yeah, yeah, Matrix you did!"
"I lied" (drops him off the cliff despite the very obvious cable attached to Sully's leg).
I'm going to have to go buy a copy of Commando now.
 
However my favorite best/worst gunfight is in the Naked Gun when the camera pans back and forth on Leslie Neilsen and the Badguy shooting at each other and finally pulls out and shows that they're 6 feet apart

Good one. As long as "Police Squad/Naked Gun" has been brought up, one of the best bits is the scene where some desperate criminal decides to take a hostage and Lt. Drebin reacts by grabbing a random passerby and putting a gun to her head, saying, "Two can play at that game!"

Another great Leslie Nielsen gun moment: Drebin is masquerading as a MLB umpire in an attempt to sniff out the sleeper assassin at a game. He gets into an argument with one of the team's managers about whether or not a runner was safe or out, and as the argument is escalating, he spots a threat in the stands. Out comes the .38, and the belligerent manager immediately backs down, saying something to the effect of "Ok, Ump, you're right, he's out, whatever you say."
 
+1 on the A Team. I was just a kid when that show came out and even I knew that those gunfights were improbable.

When I watched that show, I would hike up my diaper, curl my bicep and grunt, and pretend to be BA Baracus. Or so my parents tell me.

I didn't know those gunfights were improbable. I've figured it out since then.
 
Come to think of it, I'm surprised King Solomon's Mines also has a following here; that was a childhood favorite of mine... ;)
 
Best of the Best 4

Rips off both Predator & Rambo.

They have a mini gun as in Predator and the guy has the ammo belt around his arm as in Rambo.:what:
 
The Watcher-ooops! /The Interperter

In the big chase scene/climax of the K Reeves/James Spader film; The Watcher, Spader's "retired FBI agent"(even though he's only 38-40yrs old, :scrutiny: ) points his Glock pistol at Reeves but you can clearly see the muzzle has a prop gun/blank firing barrel, :rolleyes: .

I also on the Sean Penn film; The Interperter(check spelling), Sean Penn's US Secret Service agent carrys a Glock pistol in a storng side holster but when he runs into a UN office with his gun drawn it's a SIG P-229, :banghead: . The USSS issues the SIGarms P-229 .357 so it would make sense that he would carry the SIG pistol all the time.

PS: I'd also think the US State Dept's DSS(Diplomatic Security Service) would handle those kinds of details too but that's another story, ;) .

Got a buddy in DSS, he pointed that out to me. :)

Can't be confusing the citizenry with yet another 3-letter agency I guess. :rolleyes:
 
Nobody brought up a movie with Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds, where they each saw the other's revolver and each consequtively kept drawing ones with longer barrels.

"City Heat" I think it was.
 
16 Blocks...

Did anyone here other than me catch the little goof at the start of the Bruce Willis film; 16 Blocks?

When BW's NYPD police detective draws and fires his Glock pistol he has a jam(a double-feed). If you watch carefully you see the slide does not move back and forth but gets stuck, :rolleyes: .

I'm surprised that Richard Donner(Lethal Weapon), the 16 Blocks director or the weapons/propmaster didn't catch that when they filmed the scene.

If you have the 16 Blocks DVD watch the first shooting scene in slo-mo, :D .

Im embarrassed to admit that ive seen it, but in My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Uma drops some BGs in front of a police station. the cops draw on him (somewhat confused). The BG pulls out a gun and the cops yell "Hes got a gun" and run for cover, allowing the BG to FA fire at Uma :scrutiny:

Actually, Yojimbo was based on an old Japanese novel, several other Japanese movies have been from it.
But worse or most ridiculous is the second Rambo movie where our hero shoots down one of those armored Russian choppers with an RPG7 from inside a beat up old chopper with the rescued prisoners sitting behind him. Can anyone spell "deadly backblast"?

Check the SEARCH icon and you can see the pic of the Glock Bruce Willis is holding that has the jam.

A-team and Cobra are definately the worst overall. Last Man Standing was a good movie, but the ending killed me.

The best Arnold acting of all time, is the scene leading up to the knife fight with Freddie Mercury. " Put down the gun.....Instead you can put the knife in him, and look in his eyes as you turn it...come on don't deny yourself some pleasure." That should have won him an Oscar
 
For Desperado, I am more wondering how he gets those p90's (or 89's, but no they were single stack were'nt they) to fit up into his sleeves. Im sitting here with a jacket and I just can't figure it out, 20 round clips or not


they used cast models with the ends and the grips cut short, if you play it on slow it's visible
 
in The Spy Who Loved Me, the best roger moore bond film still has a horrible shootout with the villain at the end, it's somewhat bland and quick and has a close up of the PPK stovepiping twice (I guess non-gunnies might not notice) then he fights Jaws and for dramatic reasons his gun jams and he's unable to clear it (the guy just cleared two jams quicker than a hummingbird).

Nah; anybody can take somebody else hostage, but it takes real talent to make the "Blazing Saddles" trick work.

Saspic, Red Harvest was a great read and doubtless influenced many stories...

but Kurosawa based his film off of Westerns... which is why someone went and re-made Seven Samurai into thew Magnificent Seven. I've seen several interviews with Kurosawa on the subject and Red Harvest never came up... where did you hear that?

There is some debate about where exactly Kurosawa got his inspiration, but realistically, art is very subjective, and often blends elements of several different influences.
