CycleChat Investigates - Movie Gunfights and Shootouts

[MontyVeda]

Predator gets my vote... it's more deforestation than a shoot out, and who doesn't like a good bit of deforestation?

The Matrix shootout nominated by @Edwardoka is also brilliant, but mostly because of the Propellorheads. I had to change my like to a sad face because the Props are far too quiet in that clip, which all but ruins the scene... that music is best played louder than gun fire.

Of course, there is an argument that they could have entered the Matrix at the other end of the hall thus saving the lives of all those poor trapped humans...

The A Team.

2000 rounds loosed off every episode and no one ever actually got shot.

First correct use of "loosed" in 2021 !

They could warp the rules of the Matrix, they couldn't break them. Entering and exiting the Matrix required access to an unsecured landline in an out of the way area (because if anyone in the Matrix saw them, it'd alert agents who would then take them over)

Since landlines are required to enter and exit the Matrix, that presumably means we're now all trapped forever.

And the world within the Matrix is meant to be a representation of the peak of our civilisation... 1999. Yup, seems about right

But they did frequently stop vehicles very effectively (by causing them to barrel-roll off convenient ramps in their way).

.338 lapua magnum for me. It means never having to say you're sorry.

Nurse, we have a Code 338 - I think it's the Lethal Weapon 2 variant. And yes, the really big syringe.

I loved how they were so often locked in an easy-to-escape shed which contained everything you'd need to make a flying tank. And a gazillion rounds of non-lethal ammo.

Bugsy Malone final shoot out at Fat Sam's wins for me.

 

[Drago]

Half time sitrep. Predator and Unforgiven are doing well, but Heat has pulled ahead by a De Niro.

Some great calls here. Way of the Gun's final showdown is my shout:

It also has my favourite car chase of all time:

The most significant shootout scene ever staged:

Amy Kane (Grace Kelly) shoots Jim Pierce (Robert J Wilke) in High Noon. A 10-second scene makes plain why Kant's Categorical Imperative surpasses The Ten Commandments.
