Ok moving on to the next "stereotype" thread.  How many movies can we list that features at some point two guys with guns but the good guy has to drop their gun because the bad guy has one of good guy's buddies at gunpoint.  We should easily hit several pages on this topic since there are so many.

I'll start with one of Ahny's films, Eraser (Arnold, James Caan and Vanessa Williams)

The silliest one IMO is the scene in National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon where a mime artist has his finger up against Whoopi Goldberg's head, she is screaming at Samuel L Jackson to shoot the mime and SLJ goes into convulsions with his gun.  TeddyR TeddyR

Survival of the Dead (2009). People are disarmed, dropping guns and raising both hands in defeat by the minute.

Guy Ritchie's Snatch has a very funny scene like this involving not just two but six of the film's leading characters, kind of like a British standoff.  TeddyR

Ghosts of Mars - Ice Cube grabs one of the cops (Clea DuVall), so Natasha Henstridge offers herself as a hostage instead.

Marked For Death: a rasta gangsta grabs a store customer and threatens to kill her: Steven Seagal walks over and says "Kill her, I don't know her" and then punches the guy in the face, breaks his arm and stabs him with his own knife.  TeddyR

It's not a movie, but the anime (and manga) s-CRY-ed plays with this a number of times.  People keep taking hostages on the main character (who has a super power, essentially, that lets him punch people.  REALLY HARD.).  While he's rushing a bad guy they'll point a gun at the little girl he takes care of, or his friend, or whatever, and say they'll shoot him, and he just says "I don't care!" and keeps going.  Basic point isn't that he doesn't care, but if he kills them he'll just get angrier and beat them even worse.

The Dead Pool (1988)

Its not a gun, but the bad guy has a knife up to Patricia Clarkson's throat amd Harrry is forced to drop his gun.
Does it still count ?

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
