B-Movie Survival Kit

WildHoosier09 · February 15, 2011, 07:53:58 PM

So B-movie philes... Let's say for whatever reason you had to actually enter a B-movie. What would you put in your survival kit (could be real or fictional).
I would call dibs on:
The "boom-stick" from "The Evil Dead 2" and "Army of Darkness"; I don't remember Ash ever reloading this double barrelled shotgun which somehow managed to just keep shooting no matter how many demons he ran into.
The dog "Beast" from "The hills have eyes" 2006 remake. This movie definitely made me want to adopt a German Shepherd. Careful counts would put the dogs body count of kills or assists on killing cannabilistic troglodites above that of most of the characters in the movie.
A bag of condoms, who knows, you might get lucky

So what would you bring?

I'll take the condoms. Sounds like a sound choice.

Hmmmm, if I had to arm myself I would probably go with some Z-grade Nazi movie. German weapons from the second World War interest me and I find them infinitely useful.

Also, that invisible belt thing or whatever from The Phantom Creeps. I think that would actually be number one for me. Wouldn't be without its faults but not being seen is very useful.

I think I would like one of the 12-gauge miniguns from Split Second.

Or, better, one of the "store a massive arsenal in hammerspace" outfits from Ultraviolet.

- A long-handled pickaxe
- Several changes of clothes including many changes of underpants (for accidents) and sheer outfits so I don't appear conspicuous
- A crucifix
- A flashlight
- A helmet
- Rubber bands
- Scissors
- A sleeping bag
- Toilet paper
- Soap
- A towel
- A spray bottle of flesh-eating acid
- A spray bottle of holy water
- Fruit by the Foot
- Rope
- A safety whistle
- A pet attack-gorilla

I think I could get along OK as long as it's not a space movie.

A boomstick, my pet mute chihuahua Doby (I'll keep him in my backpack, the zombies/giant sharks/piranhas/snakes won't bother him), a sketchbook and pencil (in case I have spare time in-between blasting the baddies), and a root beer float. Why? Because root beer float are god's gift to beverages. Can't survive without em.

-The knife-proof suit from the LOTR so I don't get stabbed
-The Rocketeer jetpack so I can't fall to my death
-And yeah, throw in some condoms. Movies usually have hot women.

1) A shotgun. Why? Because in any given situation in a b-movie, the shotgun is your best friend.

2) A machete, for self defense and for hacking through dangerous foliage.

3) A bible and a crucifix.

4) A magical spear (ala Troll)

5) Plenty 'o' explosives.

6) Tons of pork ribs.

Wow Paquita, of everyone here you definitely put the most thought into this. I like the "spare underpants", there likely is a high probability of "accidents" when one is first confronted by zombies/demons/McNasty's.

If tech level were no object, Two Phaser pistols, and one rifle version.
A tricorder with extra energy packs, armor with shields and a cloke, and a light sabre for close in work.

Most of what people said are good and some of which I'll take, but the most important thing to me to have is a fire extingushier. I've seen a bunch of movies and those things seem to be perfect to fight against blobs, rats, and more! Everyone needs one of these things!

A double decker baloney sandwich!

Very funny! I didn't even see the spare underpants bit. I like that she threw in Fruit by the Foot for the hell of it!

I would take the aforementioned crucifix, holy water and a hand gun with silver bullets too. And condoms, since it's a fantasy world.

More realistically...

a backpack with trail food, changes of clothes, etc.
a canteen
my .45 automatic
my broadsword (have to sharpen it, though)
assorted knives I have about
a shotgun (have to go buy one)
hiking boots

Those would be the basics that I could get easily. Thanks to historical reenactment stuff (SCA), I could also have a couple of rapiers, bow and arrows, and even some body armor. Have to think about what's the most value for the weight, though, as I don't know if I have the means to transport a lot of stuff.

A swiss army knife
a flashlight big, heavy, and durable enough to use as a bludgeon
extra batteries for it
a cell phone
extra batteries for THAT too
a first aid kit with lots of heavy duty bandages
duct tape
a cigarette lighter
a canteen full of kerosene and/or gasoline
