sonofsammo Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Which are the greatest movie pistols and why? I'm a fan of the Grammaton Cleric's sidearms in Equilibrium. Especially the weighted mags, which can be left on the floor for reloads later. I also adore Castor Troy's twin 45s in Face/Off.... So, how about you - which sidearms/pistols are your faves and why?
Game Cam Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Realistic 1. The Man with No Name's Peacemaker 2. Punishers M1911 3. Last Action Hero's Deagle Unrealistic 1. Dredd's Lawgiver 2. Hellboy's Revolver 3. Jango Fett's Blasters
Supporters Rogerborg Posted August 23, 2018 Supporters Posted August 23, 2018 Why yes, it is available as an airsoft pistol.

Thomas Jane's was as close as it's come so far....

Thomas Jane's was as close as it's come so far.... As a comic book and film fanatic I can talk about that question all day but I will sum it up in a paragraph. The dolph Lundgren one we don't talk about, love Dolph but even he couldn't save it. Thomas Jane one was awesome but got a bit confused about what it was at times. The Ray Stevenson one was...ok, the problem was that they dialed the violence up to cartoon levels and made all the characters dull. NOW the Netflix show - That is some hot shit, slow on pace a bit but that is only to get the emotional stuff in for the needy critics then it lets rip with the violence and its glorious. I wasn't a huge Benthal fan before but fuck me did he nail it in this show. I literally only have a Netflixs account for this show, SO HYPED FOR SEASON 2.

Totally agree with you about Dolph - love him, hate that film. Thomas Jane made a good fist of it, but it could have been so much better (have you seen the Dirty Laundry short?). And the Ray Stevenson one? Nope, nope, nope. As you say, the violence was appropriate, but I just didn't care about anything in it. And the Netflix show? Such unfulfilled promise. I gave up watching the series. I actually feel they did better with the character in Daredevil. I think I only actually managed half the season - and I really WANTED to like it, but I just couldn't. Does it actually get better? I want it to..... Just wasn't showing any signs ?

Yeah it does have alot of emotional chuff (some which actually got to me, i have a heart after all) but it also has scenes like this (it doesn't have any spoilers):
Guest Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Not a movie, a book. Against A Dark Background by Iain M. Banks. Not a pistol, guns. They are called Lazy Gun’s, and they are epic. http://www.milezero.org/index.php/fiction/writing/quote/the_lazy_guns.html

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted August 24, 2018 Supporters Posted August 24, 2018 i'm a fan of the humble 226 mainly because it almost always appears in the hands of the poor henchmen who's job it is to be mowed down by the intrepid hero in his pursuit of acheiving maximum hero-ing. many of these poor defenceless pistols end up abandoned, forgotten, held by the character who for plot reasons must have a gun but damn if they're going to expend any time whatsoever putting any creativity into it. these guns matter, and when the hero is swanning off in a helicopter with the damsel they're left to fend for themselves. you can put an end to this firearm cruelty by donating to #savethesigs so we can give these noble firearms a home to call their own, with an owner who's job doesn't involve getting gunned down after a mere 20s of screen time.
mimozine Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 there was an old film called shakedown, the guy used an LAR grizzly, love that gun . would love an airsoft one and of course john candy with a .454 casull in armed and dangerous.... enough said

Supporters Druid799 Posted August 26, 2018 Supporters Posted August 26, 2018 Dirty Harry’s S&W 29 ‘ive gots to know !” Robocop’s Auto9 ”dead or alive , your coming with me !” The English gentleman using a Webley 1.4 bulldog at the start of ‘the wind and the lion’ , not so much the gun as much as the WAY he’s using it ! Arab cavalry charging down on him , he knows he’s going to die so he’s taking some with him , he stands there ramrod straight arm fully extended picking them off one by one until he runs out of ammo and gets taken out by a cavalry sabre . Now that’s the way a gentleman goes out ! And not a hand gun but always worth a mention on any type of gun debate , the gattling gun scene from ‘the last samurai’ , always gets the hair up on the back of my neck when I watch it .
