Your Favorite Movie Gunfights

Posted on by

Jacob Hall and /Film recently posted the results of Your Favorite Movie Gunfights.  Here are the top choices and my comments….

– The Matrix: really set a new standard for integrating computer effects into gunfights so much so that everyone knows what “bullet time” means.

–  Raiders of the Lost Ark: Not so much a gunfight as a “Don’t bring a sword to a gunfight.”

– Shoot ‘Em Up: A movie gunfight lover’s dream.

– Terminator 2: Judgment Day: Not so much a gunfight as the joy of watching Arnold use a helicopter’s mini-gun to shoot up everything without ever harming a human.

– Tombstone:  So many excellent gunfights to choose from and they nailed the right one.  “Did you ever see anything like that?”  “I’ve never even HEARD of anything like that.”

– The Way of the Gun: What a great under-rated movie.  The ending is crazy good.  Makes me want to watch it again soon!

So many other movies that could have made the cut: John Wick 1 & 2; Heat; The Good, the Bad and the Ugly are the four that came to mind first.  Others?
