Stupid villian tricks= Bad evil plans.

[Flangepart]

Watched the MST of "Agent for H.A.R.M." last week.
Hoo, boy!
Among the many holes in the swiss cheese that is our subject film, the one thing that realy worked my logic circuts over with a lead pipe was....the spore gun.
Is that a stupid idea for a wepon or what?
I'd hate to have to load it in a hurry...one mashed jell capsule...it must work like a paintball gun....and your a pile of foaming fungus! Talk about hazard pay for the goon squad....
And the scene wher the scientest guy almost splats the hero with spore....better not leave that on the wall for the cleaning lady to find! Now, if a sales gerbil from Avon get fungied, okey, but still..
Or heros, even. Like that sword Andrew mentioned in, what...."Sword and scorcery?"...the one with the flying flanges of fury the sword shot out....yeah, that one.
In short....whats the dumbest wepon,ever?

Talking of stupid weapons. On my interminal flight back, I was listening to some cd's of old radio broadcasts, one of the programs featured was The Green Hornet. Now, his "special" weapon was a "gas gun", a silent gun that did.....what?
I guess it had some sort of super 1940's knockout gas in it to safely and harmlessly render the baddies immobile(bean bag rounds work better). My question, how was the Hornet not effected by the gas? What if the baddie was alergic? And why not just sap the bad guy if you don't want to kill him? Why go to the expense of inventing a gas gun...and then there are the gas bills, we all know what they're like. If you don't want to shoot him...why not use a rubber hose, lead pipe, 2x4, black jack, rolling pin, frying pan, day old french bread. And doesn't Kato know kung fu? Have him throw some beatings around.

I never saw the tv show, so I don't know if the gas gun was used, but why would you use a silent gun on a radio show....you have to tell people when you're using it...it's RADIO! I just don't understand. Apologize for the rambling.

Pretty much ANYTHING created by Dr. Evil!

Let's see....in the first "Austin Powers" there was the giant drill that would drill to the center of the earth and release hot MAG-MA.

In the 2nd there was the giant (fingers in quotation marks) LA-SER on the moon.

And in Goldmember he plans to flood the earth with another giant LA-SER shot from an orbiting satellite.

speaking of agent for HARM.

how about that amazingly horrible tap set out involving a rope hidden under dirt set rigged in the parking lot entrance of the wharehouse that was suppossed to set off a machine gun into the diver. now that was BAAAAAAAAD for so many reasons.

Did ya notice the credits line for Colt firearms? Explains why the soldier at the beginning had an M-16 insted of an AK-47!
The M-16 on a rope....why did he not take them with him!? Extra firepower, Hey?
Bad...bad movie...no sequal!

[Dunners]

thank god for that, yuck

And yet again I mention something I love to talk about for the umpteenth time and make everyone think I only watch three movies and one TV show over and over...the black hole cannon in Godzilla vs. Megaguirus.
And Deej, Darkwing Duck had a gas gun.  You best not be talkin' the smack about my homie DW.  Jea.

And now his car turns into an airplane!  Ba ba BA BA...oh forget it.

I like how in Bond and many other action flicks, they have the hero restrained, poised to kill them, but decide to tell them their plans.  This gives the hero enough time to save the day.  The spoofs of these scenes in the Austin Powers movies are so classic!  I love em!

speaking of bond, i am always very annoyed at the start of goldeneye when, to shelter from the 50 odd russians who 'surround' bond, he hides behind a rack with gas cans on it.  they say don't shoot, it could explode.

MOVE AROUND HIM!! it can't be too hard for 50 guys to club pierce brosnan over the head with the butt of an ak-47.

:(  yes there are plenty of other examples, i'm just especially frustrated with that one.

How about Herbert Lom in THE PINK PANTHER STRIKES AGAIN? He devises an evil plan to disintigrate the United Nations (I think it was the United Nations . . . I haven't seen the movie in awhile) with a ray gun, and he ends up disintigrating himself. Dumb ass.
