Thread: Funny Gun Scenes In Movies

Lets not forget the bullets that 'spark' when they hit anything. I have never understood where this effect came from. I mean excessive rounds being fired without reloading can be overlooked if there are other unbelievable aspects of the movie but sparking bullets have no basis in reality - at all.

Love the scene in Tremors when Michael Gross and Reba McEntire are being attacked by the big underground creature in their basement/bunker. They empty their guns into the thing and look at eachother and start backing up defensively, but then they just start grabbing all kinds of firepower off the back wall. At one point Reba shoots the thing in the mouth with a flare gun, then Michael finally kills it with a couple rounds out of some monsterous elephant gun. "Broke into the wrong GD reckroom didn't you, you big jerk!"

Almost forgot the gun falling down the stairs scene from True Lies -

Any scene where you hear a hammer cocking for an internal-hammer weapon. Relatedly, it's usually someone firearm-trained not cocking/racking until AFTER the danger has started.

Worst example: The opening scene of "The Matrix" when all the officers with Glocks ENTER the room with Trinity, *THEN* cock the hammers on their internal-hammer Glocks. I'm sure 3/4 of it are the sound guys thinking "there needs to be more sound here."


I also love the movie "The Crow", where the character "Grange" carries a Calico with a 50-round magazine, yet he only fires 2-3 shots in the entire movie. While everyone else with regular semi-autos and revolvers seems to have unlimited ammunition and never reloads.

OK. I knew I was forgetting one awesome movie scene. Then I remembered.

High tech vs old tech LOL -

Bullets with steel cores/jackets do spark and are outlawed for target shooting in many areas with good cause because they have started fires

This is my favorite funny gun/movie scene. I have a nice list of people I would love to "shake hands" with



As far as gun scenes that are not really funny but pretty good overall the final bar shootout in Unforgiven and the final shootout in Open Range were pretty good, overall



This is just part 1 of Open Range final shootout, you can link the rest in the right hand column



Of course I know the "effects" of the shotgun are goofy, but it's hollywierd..

Did I miss this here someplace? This has to take top honors:

Ah yes...Commando, such a classic 1980's shoot 'em up. I love the part where Arnold single handedly wipes out 2 full companies of paramilitary forces with a heavy machine gun and grenades.

There are a whole lot of funny gun scenes in the dark comedy, Falling Down, here is one where he uses a rocket launcher to blow up a construction site.

Heres one where he blasts a golfcart with a shotgun and it rolls down into a lake hilariously

btw, Im glad that someone included the scene where the joker shoots down the batwing with a 4 foot long revolver, that is the best funny gun scene ever.

Menace II Society. A-wax's weapon of choice for the burger stand ambush is a Desert Eagle. It not only fires, but reliably cycles the whole magazine. Badumbum pshh.

Open Range gunfight, best surround sound gunfight I've ever heard. I can hear the bullets hitting my back wall in the living room. Only thing close to it was Master and Commander. I can't imagine being on the receiving end of chain shot.

This one from youtube.

I'm glad no one has done this scene yet.

I think there was a scene from the spoof movie Loaded Weapon 1 that had Samuel Jackson and Emilio Esteves cocking their semi's over and over again as they sneaked up on the bad guys! LOL!

And then of course there's this one!
