Best movie gunfight!!!

[SaveElmer]

Poll question: Best movie gunfight!!!

Of course these are among movies I have seen...so will include an "Other" category!

[SteppingRazor]

1. What about Resevoir Dogs? Or, sweet Jesus, WHAT ABOUT THE WILD BUNCH?

This list is far from complete, though a mightily noble effort, SaveElmer! ;)

[SaveElmer]

6. Well believe it or not...I haven't seen Wild Bunch

That's why I included Other cause I was only including movies I had actually seen!

2. Bank Heist in "Heat"

awesome!

[underpants]

4. Thank you-I was just about to post that

A much overlooked movie and gunfight scene IMHO

7. X3 - You beat me to it.

On surround sound, with the volume at 11, it's unreal.

15. 'Heat' for sure. I'm still amazed every time I watch it. n/t

17. Val Kilmer is not my favorite actor, but his shift from smiling...

''''''ah, we got the job done! money, here we come!!" look of ecstasy to 'F***! The COPS' and blasting away, with split second timing, is a great piece of acting...

[MsConduct]

19. That little shift sets up the shoot out to perfection. Val is one

of my faves though. :)

3. Mr. and Mrs. Smith

5. The shootout

between Lee VanCleef, Clint Eastwood and "the Ugly" (I forgot his name!!! grrrrrr) In The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.

Sergio Leone had a flair for the over-the-top dramatic. I loved it.

[SteppingRazor]

8. Eli Wallach... and, yeah, that's a great one too...

Hell, any spaghetti western could make the list.

13. The Ugly

Eli Wallach as Tuco Benedito Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez

aka The Ugly

[trotsky]

9. I'm partial to the one in "Young Guns"

where Brian Keith's character sits down in the outhouse to try and take out the boys. LMAO

10. Tombstone Baby! Tombstone!!!!!!!!!

11. Wild Bunch, of course. But I voted for The Long Riders..

...because i've seen the re-enactment and the film is supposed to be a pretty accurate account. Cole Younger (David Carradine) really did get hit something like 12 or 15 times. Went on to found the Prison Mirror in Stillwater State Pen, which still publishes today.

But for sheer embracing of violence and bloodshed, and the good guys (who are murdering thugs) kicking ass on the bad guys, The Wild Bunch can't be topped, especially since it broke so much new ground.
Many, many astonishing scenes in the movie, not the least of which is the opening scene with the red ants and the scorpions...speaking of which, do you think the animal humane society, peta and the other animal rights groups would go nuts over burning ants and scorpions?

[SaveElmer]

12. Yeah I included it because I'm related to one of the cashiers

In the bank. A.E. Bunker was shot trying to run out a back door. Great Great Granduncle.

Great movie though...and Ry Cooders score was outstanding!!!

14. Scarface

"Say hello to my little friend!"

or does it not count as a gun fight?

[RedSpartan]

16. Heat.

Edit: Beat me to it above. Sorry.

Pacino



vs. DeNiro



Nuff said.

18. Beginning of John Woo's

Hard Boiled. Guys sliding down three-story bannisters with burp guns in each hand. And that's just the start of the mayhem.

:headbang:

20. I always liked The Long Riders

That was the first shoot out I ever saw where I thought "It looks like it really hurts to be shot"
