Worst movie shootout scene

[jeepmor]

I've read a lot of 'best of' movie shootouts, but what about the lousy ones. Y'know, the ones where they shoot the whole movie without ever reloading. I see them all the time, but can't think of any true stinkers off hand.

Any movie with Jean Claude Van Damm is the worst, especially if he touches a firearm.

I just rented "Edison Force". Didn't finish it. The movie is so bad as to defy description. Here is the opening scene: Bad guy takes 13 year old cheerleader hostage. Bad Guy is holding girl from behind, so the cop shoots the girl through her chest in order to kill the Bad Guy. With a rifle. At point blank range.

She manages to receive a slightly bleeding flesh wound as the bullet blows through her. The bullet then hits the bad guy and he drops dead instantly.

The shootout between the Riverboat Pilot and the Giant Cobra in Komodo vs. Cobra!!!. (Please don't ask me why I watched this movie).

The cobra hisses and spits, and the man fires a string of 54 rounds from a Beretta Cougar, and the cobra slithers away. Fifty-four rounds, no cutaways, no reloads, no extended magazines, nuffin'. Just a full-auto string of 54 shots from the Magic Beretta of Shooting.

There was this car movie called "RPM". Really cheesy; bad plot (if you could call it that,) bad acting, bad voice-overs. Cheetoes and Easy Cheese for breakfast cheesy. . .

I laughed through the "final climactic gunfight" scene. Imagine, if you will, a largeish mafia looking fellow in leather and sunglasses, with perfectly gelled hair, going through an Olympic worthy side-flip and proceeding to blaze away with twin SMG's, jabbing at the air as though it'll make the bullets go faster.

And that's just the three seconds I can remember.

ANY movie where the impact of the gunblast makes the victim fly backwards as if they'd been hit by a truck.

"Delta Force" Flicks anyone?

Once Upon a Time in Mexico

Wow

 

[dleong]

Any shootout scene in which the effects of the sound of close-range gunfire on human hearing aren't portrayed in a reasonably accurate manner.

I've seen all too many shootout scenes in which the participants, who aren't wearing any hearing protection at all, are talking to each other at normal conversational volumes either during or immediately after a furious firefight.

I recall a Jackie Chan cop flick (it was pretty old) wherin a bad guy, holding up a bar no less, gets shot, flies back 10 feet through a window AND THE GLASS EXPLODES INTO FLAMES! I personally have never seen glass burst into flame before, but it was impressive.

Cobra, with Sylvester Stallone. Saw it at the base movie theater in Subic Bay, in the Philippines. I want my two hours back.

Another vote for "Cobra"

Dirty Bob, you beat me to it...in the early grocery-store-robbery scene, doesn't one of the robber's bullets perforate a beer display and our hero chugs a can while pausing to taunt the bad guy from cover?

 

[Mornard]

Cobra was real, real bad, but the worst has to be the bus scene in "Gauntlet" with Clint Eastwood - a hundred cops line both sides of a street and unload on the bus as he drives past. Endlessly. The Scene never ends... It's still going on.... Oh, and no one gets hit by ricochet or crossfire...

I always thought the sunlight streaming through the bullet holes in the movie "The Quick and the Dead" had to be in the top five of anybody's list.

I believe one guy even looks at his shadow and sees a small circle of sunlight that clues him in that he has been shot.

Hong Kong '97 with Robert Patrick. I didn't know it was possible to make Berettas akimbo boring, but they did it. It holds top honors with Devil In A Blue Dress and Breakfast At Tiffany's as movies I never finished watching.

corky ramano

Now I know a lot of people like Last Man Standing, and I do as well. But I don't think they had high capacity magazines for 1911's at that time, nor do I think that you can launch a man 40 feet out of a saloon with said 1911's.

 

[nelson133]

Last Man Standing has the worst ending scenes of all time. A totally worthless rip off of Yojimbo.

 

[ewb45acp]

Commando... Or any "Arnold" action film for that matter. But Commando takes the cake.

 

[Justaman]

Crazy Gibson tried to shoot down a helecopter wit a 92fs in Lethal Weapon.

 

[Heavy Metal Hero]

The Transporter 2. The whole movie is ridiculous, but one part comes to mind: The ugly, skinny, Courtney Love wannabe lady decides she can shoot down a helicopter with a Glock 18c or some other fully automatic 9mm. Needless to say the helo goes BOOM.

 

[carnaby]

Yeah, Arnold movies aren't know for accurate portrayal of gunplay. One of my favorites has some of the worst shootouts... Predator. Lots of spray firing from the hip, shooting bad guys 30 times when 2 or 3 would have sufficed. Special forces my butt.

 

[saspic]

Don't forget "True Lies" when Jamie Lee Curtis drops the Uzi (or whatever it was), and it bounces down the stairs, firing with every impact and killing terrorists.

lmao too funny and too true

 

[Jrsmith]

Last man standing was quite fun to watch, as long as you ignored the hi-cap 1911's as well as the flying people....

Did anyone notice the similarities to "A Fistfull of Dollars"? I never heard anything about it, but watching I am pretty sure its a prohibition remake or tribute or something.
