Best movie where a woman defended herself with a gun!

Jamie Lee Curtis in Blue Steel. She plays a cop that has to do some shooting in the line of duty.

or......

She does a great job with an Ingram in True Lies :D
 
Another vote...

...for Ripley! Pulse Rifle + Grenade launcher + Flamethrower. I can't find the scene, but I'm pretty sure there was some duct tape involved with that creation as well.
I guess that really wasn't defensive though. She was definitely taking the fight to the Queen.
 
I remember laughing at a scene in "NYPD Blue"--a show I liked a lot after David Caruso left the cast--in which one of the women detectives was forced to shoot a guy. She used a J-frame. There was absolutely no muzzle flip. Not a damn twitch.

Well, that's better than the opening of Charlie's Angels, where we were treated to Kate Jackson recoiling, except for the last round where recoil comes late, as if "Oh, I was supposed to jerk my wrist," every week.:rolleyes:
 
I forgot Geena Davis in The Long Kiss Goodnight!

She finds a sniper rifle in pieces in a case that she forgot she had (amnesia, natch). The scene where she instinctively puts it together in five seconds was very cool!
 
Wow, 24 posts but I'll be the first to say that I really liked "Eye for an Eye" where Kiefer Sutherland gets drawn in to a trap, gunned down and takes a stair dive courtesy of a very driven and ballsy Sally Field.

It's nothing special with regards to a gun being used in a movie, but it's a well done tale.
 
I'm rather fond of I Am Legend when Will Smith yells at the woman and she produces a handgun from small-of-back to protect her child.

And then she left Burt and took his H&K-91 in the second one. I secretly hoped she got eaten off screen sometime during the course of the series.

The character of Julie Fenn in the film "Shooter" blows away a mercenary attempting to kidnap her a cutdown 870.
 
True Lies!!!!

I can't believe nobody said this yet!! Remember in True Lies with Arnold Schwarzenegger, where Jamie Lee Curtis drops the Uzi down the stairs and it fires off and shoots about 20 guys!!?? :D:D Classic!!!!!
 
And I don't much like Jamie Lee Curtis, nor do I like her "oh, I'm afraid of this Mac-11, I'm going to fire a burst and drop it" portrayal of female firearms owners.

It just give fuel to the belief that "if a woman pulls a gun, her attacker will just take it from her."
 
Most of "True Lies" was meant to be comedy or at the very least...satire.
Remember that the bad guy rode a motorcycle in to an elevator...and Arnold chased him in a second elevator...on horseback. :o Bad guy rides a motorcycle OFF the top of a skyscraper and in to a swimming pool on the roof of another skyscraper. Arnold couldn't convince the horse to attempt that feat.

If you were looking for realism or a pro-gun film, you may wish to look somewhere other than Hollywood.

If we get all wrapped around the axle every single time a firearm or it's use has been portrayed in a seemingly lousy light.... uhhh, we'll be taking 97.5% of all movies and television that has EVER had a firearm in it out of the discussion.

Ya know?! :confused:

As I read his posted I was thinking exactly the same thing lol.


And yea, the scene in True Lies where Jamie Lee Curtis drops the Uzi is funny, I laughed. And my amusement was no less when my Son-In-Law was out-shot twice by my daughter to his obvious discomfort. She just ruined him both times with a single perfect shot.

They were shooting my new Remington 700 SPS Tactical, Leupold scope, in .223, (it's so easy to shoot).

First he shot about 20 rounds into the short paper target at 30 yards. The rounds are scattered, not horrible, but novice like. She waits till he is done, then casually slides behind it, puts one round just a hair south of the center of the X in the center ring. Like 2 millimeters south of perfect.

He is not happy, but concealed it well for the moment. Later he is back behind the 700 and shooting at a steel cylinder target at 300 meters, no thumps, all dust. When he is finished she follows up, one round, "thump" and that he could no longer contain.

I smiled, my Baby. And she has rarely shot anything in her life, it's all natural. I never taught her my bad habits it seems :D
 
J Lee Curtis; Blue Steel...

Jamie Lee Curtis also played a rookie NYPD cop who is stalked by a nutcase(Ron Silver) in the under-rated cop thriller; Blue Steel.
