Title: Your Favorite Movie Weapons
Post by: Ash on November 13, 2007, 03:09:37 AM
Most movie weapons are pretty cool.
Some fire projectiles while others are directed energy weapons.

For this poll, I decided to focus on handheld or relatively small weapons.
You'll notice that I've included rifles, pistols and various bladed weapons.
Some of them are real, others are purely fictional.
All have appeared in a movie.

I've purposely left out video game weapons and weapons from comics etc...
I'll get to those in a different thread.

Take a moment to vote for your favorite movie weapon.
You can vote for up to three.

For a long range gun, I chose The Jackal's Cannon.
That thing is friggin' sweet!

"Hold out that pack of cigarettes!"

(Not Safe For Work!)

Anyone know what the actual make and model of that gun is?
-----------------------------------

For a pistol, I chose Hellboy's Samaritan revolver.
This thing would do some serious damage!

-----------------------------------

As a bonus, I'd definitely take the L.O.O.K.E.R. gun.
One flash from it and your enemy won't know who he is or even be able to see you for 20-30 minutes.
By the way, I've looked and looked and looked and can't seem to find a pic of the LOOKER gun online.
Can any of you find one for me?

Which movie weapon would you choose?

My favourite movie weapon of all times is definitely Lionel Cosgroves lawn mower from Braindead (a.k.a Dead alive) It's just something too crazy and powerful, truly one of the TOP 5 zombie-killing weapons  :bouncegiggle: Just look at it, it's a thing of beauty  :thumbup: "Party's over!"

The Jackal's cannon is definitely one I agree with, but for my absolute favourite on the list, I chose the railgun from Eraser.

Noticed an omission though - the guitar case rocket launcher and machine guns from Desperado.

Hey what was the big rifle in Robocop?  My vote was the predator cannon, by the way.

Oooo, I forgot about that one. "Assault cannon! State of the art! Bang Bang!"

I like Reggie's quad-barreled shotgun from the last three 'Phantasm' movies. He hardly got to use it, but when he did. I love it in 'Phantasm 2' when he does use it against four of those little Jawa-looking monsters. One shot and they all explode into pieces.

Barrett .50 cal semi auto. BIG booms.

I picked Lightsaber for close in.
Phaser for stun and disintigrate.
ZG-1 for most targets.

Ah, the Robocop guns the bad guys use.
I'd forgotten all about them.

I added your suggestions to the poll.
You should also be able to change your vote if you want to vote for any of them.

If you guys think of any more, list them here and I'll add them.

I still went with Hellboy's revolver. You've gotta love that.

I prefer the Orgazmo-ray (or whatever it's called) myself.


Title: Re: Your Favorite Movie Weapons
Post by: Neville on November 14, 2007, 01:57:01 PM
I just voted for RoboCop's rifle. They call it the "Manta gun" in the computer game, can't remember if they ever mentioned this in the movie.

Anyway, it can blow a hanchman's car with one shot, so what else do you need? An stereo? Then watch "Beverly Hills Cop III" and order one of those guns Serge sells.


Title: Re: Your Favorite Movie Weapons
Post by: frank on November 15, 2007, 03:28:41 AM

I chose the lightsaber. I think out of this list it may be the most recognized weapon, sort of a movie icon itself (I wonder if there has been some light/laser/-sword in movies before - must have been I suppose).

Of course I'm aware that a popular and mainstream movie should not get all the claim on a b-movie board.

As I'm a sort of traditional guy my second choice would have been Dirty Harry's colt or something similar.

...hmm, still not really b-movie...

Therefore, last choice would be the thing the guy finds and uses to blow up commercial signs and stuff. However, I think it turned him into an alien or something? Then probably not. Hmmm, ok:

The Desasterous Potato-Peeler From Hell. - I swear I have it here and I'm not afraid to use it!


Title: Re: Your Favorite Movie Weapons
Post by: Chang Saam on November 15, 2007, 12:15:17 PM
Yeah, that weapon from Laserblast was pretty cool. I would probably pick that one as well.


Title: Re: Your Favorite Movie Weapons
Post by: IzzyDedjet on November 15, 2007, 12:17:29 PM
For up-close and personal, I had to go with Ash's chainsaw.
Strangely, the rest of my picks were things that you could reach out and touch someone with.


Title: Re: Your Favorite Movie Weapons
Post by: cqmorrell on November 15, 2007, 05:44:02 PM
I chose the ZF-1 for the sheer amount of weapons packed into one gun.


Title: Re: Your Favorite Movie Weapons
Post by: BTM on November 15, 2007, 07:42:42 PM
>L.O.O.K.E.R. Gun

The heck is that?

Waay too many choice to pick just one.


Title: Re: Your Favorite Movie Weapons
Post by: Ash on November 15, 2007, 08:19:39 PM
The L.O.O.K.E.R. gun is a fictional weapon from the movie Looker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looker).
It stands for Light Ocular-Oriented Kinetic Emotive Responses.

Here's the definition from Cyberpunk review:

"a “light gun” that stuns and paralyzes the target using light. Anyone exposed to this weapon experiences a sort of “missing time” as they stand paralyzed, allowing the weapon’s user to move around, invisible and undetected, for short periods.."

It looks kind of like a futuristic pistol and if you get flashed with it, you won't be able to see the person who flashed you and you literally lose all sense of time.
Thirty minutes could pass and you wouldn't know it.

It really is one of the cooler sci-fi weapons out there.

I really like the golden cross shotgun thing from Constantine.  I just love a weapon you can click together and shoot.


Title: Re: Your Favorite Movie Weapons
Post by: Ash on November 17, 2007, 03:05:06 AM
I got to pondering earlier....

I think the LOOKER gun is one of the most ingenious imaginary sci-fi inventions ever created and probably the most powerful weapon on the list.

If it were real, imagine the power you could have by using one of those devices.

Your enemy has to see you to get to you.
And they have to have their eyes open to do it.
With a LOOKER gun, you have the advantage.

Heck, if a big enough LOOKER device were constructed, you could hypnotize entire enemy armies with it!
Just let off one big monster sized flash.
Then our troops could just go in and put them all in flex ties while they stood there "paralyzed".
When they came to, they'd all be in holding cells.

Same goes for the police.
Instead of shooting a suspect with bullets or using a taser that may or may not take them down, the officer could draw his LOOKER gun and flash them.
The perp stands there dazed and gets cuffed.  When he comes to, he's in the back of a police cruiser.

Yay for non-lethality! :teddyr:

But off of that subject, what about Travis Bickle's handgun aresenal or the titular weapon from The Mexican?


Title: Re: Your Favorite Movie Weapons
Post by: Shadow on November 17, 2007, 11:19:47 AM
Lightsaber. I cannot count how many times I have had dreams where I am wielding one. That or Wolverine's adamantium claws. :teddyr:


Title: Re: Your Favorite Movie Weapons
Post by: AndyC on November 18, 2007, 12:50:40 AM
The list is really long already, but something made me think of the rather unique revolver Tom Savini had in From Dusk Til Dawn.


Title: Re: Your Favorite Movie Weapons
Post by: Gwangi on November 18, 2007, 01:25:55 AM
the predator's smart-disk or the glaive from Krull.


Title: Re: Your Favorite Movie Weapons
Post by: 316zombie on November 18, 2007, 02:43:07 PM
my top vote is ash's chainsaw,NOTHING is cooler than that!
2nd was ash's boomstick,third was reg's quad..i have a terrible crush on reg,have for years!
one that isn't on the list that i love is james wood's "hand-gun"from videodrome,my fave paranoid movie...


Title: Re: Your Favorite Movie Weapons
Post by: BlackAngel75 on November 19, 2007, 02:15:19 AM
First off, my first choice is the .50 cal rifle, the sheer power of that weapon not only from the explosion of the car but, remember the explosion from that control tower in the junkyard.  YEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

Secondly, and I know you didn't put it up but, I also picked Wolverine's claws for when you want to get up close and personal on a motherfncker.  As a matter of fact, you can put Freddy Kruger's bladed glove up there.

And lastly, the guitar cases.  Tell me if they were real, you would look at anyone with a guitar, cello, or bass violin a little more carefully. 


Title: Re: Your Favorite Movie Weapons
Post by: Jim H on November 19, 2007, 05:27:40 PM
Not on the list.  Dunno if it is my actual favorite, but one of the ones I like best is Stephen Chow's Chinese butcher knife in From Beijing With Love.  It's obviously not an ordinary one.  It isn't used that many times in the film (only twice as an offensive weapon, both briefly), but it made an impression on me.  It's also butt ugly (which is good in this case), but the great usage it gets and its supreme power (he drops it into marble at one point, and under its own weight point down it sinks like 5 inches - makes you wonder what the scabbard thing he uses is lined with!) and the great sound effect they give it are awesome. 

Oh yeah, and the main character is also a butcher along with his secret agent career, and he also uses it for butchering.  If that isn't awesome, I don't know what is.

The whole movie is on youtube, but I couldn't find an individual clip.  Go to about the 8 minute point in the video.

If non-firearms are OK, my vote is for The Ladder.

Some nice ones there, but here are some I like even more.

Non-bladed weapons
Richard Widmark's Peckwood Volley Gun in "The Alamo."

Bob Cumming's tie tac derringer in "The Barefoot Mailman."

And that wind-up pistol used as an anti-aircraft gun in "The Fabulous World of Jules Verne."

And any gatling gun. "Get out of the way boys. I'm going to crank this baby up and let it spit."

Bladed Weapons
The Feral Kid's (Emil Minty's) razor-edged boomerang in "The Road Warrior."

The Boot Knife
You got to trust any man or woman smart enough to carrry a knife in their boot.

Dungeons and Dragons
Hercules: the Legendary Journeys
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's the Lost World
Van Helsing
The Wild Thornberry's Movie

And the Swordcane
For that dapper man-around-town. It never goes out of style.

Arabesque
Beat the Devil
Cat People
Gilda

I think what we've learned from this poll is that there's such a diversity of really cool movie weapons that it's virtually impossible to have a consensus on the coolest.

Now what we need is the same poll, but with movie weapons of mass destruction. Be interesting to see what comes up there.

On that other poll, Ming's remote-catastrophe control would be a great one. Remember the beginning of "Flash Gordon"?

I voted for Indy's whip, light saber and Wyatt Earp's Colt peacemaker. But I also like Chewbacca's Wookie Bowcaster, the Tri-Bladed Sword from Sword and the Sorceror(I think Talon also took a guy out with a haunch of mutton) and the Boob Blades an assassin wielded in one of the Pink Panther movies, maybe The Pink Panther Strikes Again.
