Worst gun film of the decade

G-Freeman: Pink didn't shoot the woman because as soon as he pulled her out of the car, the cops came around the corner. He had to deal with them first (including shooting to slide-lock and beyond) and unass the scene ASAP.

Re the title, who knows? I've never seen anyone asking Tarantino about it. Maybe one of those Hollyweird inside jokes?
 
Thanks Coin, Maybe it wasn't Resevoir Dogs I watched afterall. It may have been Ringo Lams' 1987 City of Fire. Chow Yun-Fat plays Mr. Orange.

no no no !!!!the worst film ever was desperado with antonio bandaras.his double ruger 45 tacticle reload is hilarios as well as his 150 yard shot over his shoulder hitting the bad guy perched on top of the roof.the main event has to be the guy with the guitar case that turns into a rocket launcher.this film is entertaining and i watch it from time to time but the guns and tactics are terrible.
 
Antonio Banderas is so far out with his "gunnery" that it is entertaining. I also enjoyed the "I'm Gonna" movie and DO have my own copy. It is a really funny movie.
Antonio tas in a movie with Stallone that had a little more realistic gunnery.

And I liked the Sharon Stone thing. My wife has explained that I cant be in charge of ALL of the movies and TV shows, so I have lightened up a little.

A couple of Tarantino facts:
1. OUT OF SIGHT was a Soderburgh (sp?) film, not Tarantino's.
2. RESEVOIR DOGS' title comes from Tarantino's video clerk days. Oe of his fave films to recomend to people was the French classic AU REVOIR LES ENFANTS. Apparently he frequently mispronounced "au revoir" as "resevoir." It became a bit of a joke. The "dogs" in the title to Peckinpah's great flick STRAW DOGS, which Tarantino apparently obsessed over at one time.
 
Whoa...
Desperado...
With SALMA? The Goddess?

Dont dis her films... They are national tresures. Well - except for DUSK TO DAWN - which was shockingly bad film making.
 
I hated Lethal Weapon 4 because of the two posters on the wall of the police station during a prolonged scene with Gibson and Glover.

These posters were a HCI members wet dream. They were plastered with B.S. dead children and assault rifle statistics and two logos consisting of "NRA" circled in red with a slash through it.

Also, as mentioned before, Joe Pesci's character is so quick to explain that his handgun is registered and "permitted" by the state of Kalifornia, insinuating that we all need government permission and a damned good reason to own a handgun.

Personally, if Mel Gibson threw my 1911 in the water, he'd go in after it, followed by the live shark those guys had in the boat with them.

Okay, even though I liked Desperado (Salma Hayek-drooool) I will admit the gunnery was downright awful. Lots of Desert Eagles being shot one handed, rapid fire. How about when Antonio whips the 45s in his wrist, like cracking a whip? That's hilarious. Must be giving the bullet some extra momentum, whipping it out of the barrel like that. And how about when he touches off a double barrel 12 gague, sawed off to about 10 inches, with ONE hand? Right in Salma's pretty little ear, no less.

It was a good movie, just totally unrealistic when it comes to gunnery.

The most unrealistic gun thing in a movie is in Pulp Fiction, when that guy who looks like Sienfeld comes busting out of the bathroom with a 44 mag. He empties the gun as fast as he can pull the trigger, and the muzzle never jumps at all. Not even a little. He also misses Travolta and Jackson from about five feet away.

If you want to see BAD gun handling, watch "Don't Be A Menace While Drinking Your Juice In the Hood". It's probably something most of you guys would never watch, but it's a damn riot. And as for the gunnery, well - you'd just have to see it.

I would have to go back and look, but I thought the gun the kid shoots at them with was a 357...which could have been loaded with 38s.
 
leathal weapon 4 is pretty bad.i new i had it in for the film in the opening shot when mel tells danny that "that must be the new spokesman for the nra "when refering to the guy in whatever kinda ridiculas outfit of body whatever he had on.

as in referance to all the post about desperado,i too thought it was hilariously funny and entertaining,but i think the post was originally posted for the poor quality of gun handling in the movies,not just the content or dialog.it definatly has to get the nod for worst "gun" film out there

ps hubba hubba on selma also!!!!!!!!
 
i grew up on john wayne movies and always thought when i got older i would be able to shoot a lever action gun without ever having to reload.i also thought that i could ride a horse with the reins between my teeth with two 6 shooters blazing away in each hand that i never had to reload and i could shoot anything out to 200 yards on the move.
although there are very few role models out there like the duke,his westerns still have to be some of the worst "gun"films ever.

if i had one of his lever guns.i would never need an asault rifle.
 
the best gun movie was not all that great a movie,as a matter of fact it sucked all but the very last scene.it is called killing zoe and i belive it was a terantino film.you never see the swat team killing all the bad guys untill the very last shot.you see the bad guys with a total look of fear just before they get the shi@@@@@ shot out of them then there they are at the last .it seems like 100 of them all decked out in the best looking swat gear you have ever seen.they got shotguns mp5's ar-15- and lots of raid gear on.they truely look bad to the bone.if you can sit through all the bullshi@@@ in the film and make it to the end its worth watching.
 
Oh, one more thing - I'll have to second the Andy Sidaris films like the L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies "Return to Savage Beach" and "Day of the Warrior". Julie Strain and Shae Marks are definite first class eye-candy, but that's it. Actually, I guess these movies were actually meant to be as ridiculous as possible, because there's no self-respecting director who would expect to get an Oscar nomination for that kind of goofy stuff.

For unbelieveably laughable gunplay, however, they can't be beat! The gratuitous oversized breast shots are a bonus. Suffer through one if you can. It's killer! They use every obscure weapon under the sun. Exploding RC Cars and crossbow pistols that hit like 50BMGs are standard fare. An "udder" riot!

I hate to blast the movie, cause I love it, but Tombstone had Curly Bill shooting over 20 shots without a reload with 2 SAA's in the "shooting up the moon" scene. I don't remember the exact count. Same for Doc Holliday at the OK corral...lost count of his, even in slo-mo! And don't forget the 3 shots from the double barrelled Street Howitzer!

TOMBSTONE?!?!?!
Are you on CRACK MAN?

Tombstone is one of the ALL TIME BEST movies ever!

Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings; they did it by killing all those who opposed them.
 
I'm with George on this one, Dave-- Tombstone was one of the greatest gun movies of the decade. And I was doing a little counting during those scenes (okay, who among us ever stops counting shots?
smile.gif
), and though I can't recall the actual count, the scene made it past me on the plausibility scale. Daggummit! Now I've gotta rent it to double-check!
 
I thought Grosse Pointe Blank was really bad as far as gunnery was concerned. You could tell that the Glocks used were really non-foring pistols, and I wasn't even looking for that!! I like Reservoir Dogs, but the torture scene was gross. Mike
