Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 My wife & I were watching L.A. Confidential last night which has a great gunfight at the end. Except for the weapons and early 1950s wardrobe, It could have a classic western gunfight. It was very well done. What other non-western gunfights would you add to the list?
Fingers McGee Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 The recent Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich movie RED. Lotsa automatic weapons fire. Helen Mirren looks awsome letting go with an M2HB. Fingers (There just wasnt any smoke though) McGee
Alpo Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 This one, in City Heat, is dang good. Must be cowboy, too, since it's Clint Eastwood and he's using a 97. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQbAfUz8JUE Like the guns in this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC852B84o5U&feature=related
Barkeep Casey Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I love Michael Mann films for shootout's Last of the Mohican's Heat Collateral He pays a lot of attention to the details, they actually reload and train the actors on how to handle a gun!

I suspect I'm not the only one who got bit by that bug either.
Grouchy Greg, SASS#71981 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 The great gunfights in Bruce Willis's "Last Man Standing", directed by Walter Hill, are long and a throwback to the days of Sam Peckinpah.
Dog Ears Wilson, SASS #77948 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 ============================================= Seeing "Last Of The Mohicans" caused me to buy a flintlock Kentucky rifle from Taylors. I suspect I'm not the only one who got bit by that bug either. Great movie. The last 20 min. is excellent. Daniel Day Lewis really looked like he knew what he was doing.

Spooky Joe, SASS #24061 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 The gunfight in the bar in Desperado with Antonio Banderas. Kind of hinky in that anyone shooting at him, even with automatic weapons, seems to miss while he hits everyone he shoots at. Typical Hollyweird BS, but still a gunfight.
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 The recent Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich movie RED. Lotsa automatic weapons fire. Helen Mirren looks awsome letting go with an M2HB. Fingers (There just wasnt any smoke though) McGee When the CIA guy rams the car and Willis steps out and starts walking at the guy shooting, reloads, shoots, reloads, etc. is great. It's BS, but it's great BS.

Kind of hinky in that anyone shooting at him, even with automatic weapons, seems to miss while he hits everyone he shoots at. Typical Hollyweird BS, but still a gunfight. That's a staple in Hollywood gunfights, right along with gazillion round magazines. I'll add two gangster movies to the list which had several well-staged gunfight scenes: "Bonnie & Clyde" and "Public Enemies"
Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Madigan with Richard Widmark, 1968. The final close quarters gunfight in the apartment is realistic and brutal.
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 This is surely not the best nor do I like Tom Crooose but the gunhandling and lightning fast knife work in "Collateral" was entertaining.
DocWard Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I have to vote for HEAT also. More as I think of them.
Ugly, SASS #18106 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I'd have to add Ronin, The Professional, Tears of The Sun, We Were Soldiers, The Kingdom, Saving Private Ryan, 2000 Miles to Graceland, Boondock Saints (1 & 2) and Smokin' Aces (1 & 2).
Boondock Saint, #70146 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I like the shootout in the hotel at the end of the remake of The Getaway. Also, the shootout at the end of The Way of The Gun is pretty good to. Open Range had a pretty good one too.
Tex Message Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 The gunfight in the building lobby in the movie, The Matrix.
