CycleChat Investigates - Movie Gunfights and Shootouts

[Salty seadog]

How about the comedic shootout in a film who's name escapes me. I think it was Clint Eastwood and A. N. Other. In a shoot out with a common foe. They each pull out ever increasingly long barreled guns whist gently goading each other with their superiority.

What was that film?

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

Whilst I love Bugsy Malone I hated the ending. Up to that point everyone who'd been pie'd or splurge'd stayed dead, so the ending should have remained true to the rest of the film as a Pekinpaha masacre

There are some great shootouts in Last Man Standing; a rather good remake of Yojimbo / Fistfull of Dollars

Others have already covered the opening scene of Once Upon a Time in the West, and the bar shootout in Desperado

And perhaps a more serious shootout; the final act of High Noon,

A bit of a one-sided gun fight as it turned out.

Got to be Heat. The extraordinary levels of preparation cast and crew put in (casing a bank, riding with cops, interviewing criminals) shows. Andy McNab did the weapons training.

Not on list but should be: Hard Boiled. Whole film is basically a series of shootouts.

Did I fire 4356 shots or 4357?

Well, the end is near and Heat is in the lead, although Clint is putting up qngood fight for second,

To be fair, only a quarter of it is actual shootouts.

This is ringing bells - are there two scenes in different films?
There was a hat-shooting contest with Lee van Cleef (in one of the 'Dollars trilogy?) Does he pull out his insanely long pistol later in that scene?

 

[Salty seadog]

Does he pull out his insanely long pistol later in that scene

Yes it's in a warehouse type building and they each keep bringing out longer and longer barreled pistols. It's not a western. I think a bit of a cops and robbers affair.

I would have voted for Unforgiven, but the electrician forgot to switch the lights on.

The first time the Zulus had encountered full-on, relentless, British three rank volley fire, and by all accounts the didn't like it up 'em!
