What other way can you think of to remove a house full of zombies than with the most-used lawn implement? The tool proves to be up to the task as it “mows” through its victims with ease. He later finds out when it comes to this particular weapon, size doesn’t matter as it packs quite the punch in taking out the bad guys and himself. Still learning what it is to be a member of the covert extra-terrestrial prevention organization, Agent Jay (Will Smith) is unimpressed when Agent Kay (Tommy Lee Jones) hands him his diminutive weapon. The waiter whips out an ax in retaliation however, Pikul finishes the job without another headshot. Ted Pikul and Allegra Geller (Jude Law and Jennifer Jason Leigh) are having dinner when Pikul fashions an improvised pistol made from the bones of the animals from his meal. Who doesn’t want to see a scantily clad hot chick mowing down bad guys while swiveling around on the ground using her machine gun leg?ĭirector Robert Rodriguez thought it was a cool idea.ĭirector David Cronenberg is no stranger to ultra-violence in his films or in pushing the envelope and this film is no exception. When Cherry Darling (Rose McGowan) loses her leg earlier in the film, it is replaced by a machine gun/rocket launcher which she can not only use to walk, but dispense baddies at the same time. It is as cool as it sounds when it blasts a charge of compressed air and sprawls out its victim across the room. Not a lot of explanation is given to this one however, it is used by a member of the Precrime division while in pursuit of its former head John Anderton (Tom Cruise) when it is revealed all may not be as it seems and Anderton is accused of murder. He then uses his newly formed hand weapon to saw off the end of a shotgun to complete his arsenal. He fashions a clamp on his wrist and adds a motor and chainsaw blade. While preparing for battle against demons and other undead minions, Ash (Bruce Campbell) decides to make use of his stump arm by adding a makeshift weapon.

No one knows what happened to the gun once Scaramanga is defeated. ![]() One of the cool things about this gun is that it breaks down into 5 handy components including a cigarette case, a lighter, a pen, cufflinks and a single bullet for easy storage or concealment. Villainous hitman Francisco Scaramanga (Christopher Lee) used this 4.2 mm “Golden Gun” against everyone’s favorite British agent. Having said all that, the following list were some of my favorites: The “Lord of the Rings” trilogy and “Hunger Games” films also contain many cool swords, blades and bow and arrows. ![]() Similarly, the world of swords and blade weapons is vast in Hollywood history with many films showcasing them in action including classics like the “Robin Hood” films, “Highlander”, “The Princess Bride”, “Rob Roy”, “The Seven Samurai” and many others. When it comes to guns and ranged weapons, Hollywood history has been filled with thousands of gangster and war films which use a varying array of weapons. Otherwise, the list would have only mainly consisted of Thor’s hammer, Captain America’s shield, Wolverine’s claws, etc. James Bond movies in general could have formed their own list since Bond visited Quartermaster “Q” branch in almost every film and was continually supplied with various gadgets and gizmos throughout the franchise history.Īlso, another group of films excluded from this list specifically were superhero or comic books films. The realm of sci-fi/fantasy definitely has the advantage of being able to think of any configuration imaginable, not having to rely on any convention or even if it physically works or not.įor the purposes of this list, the focus was on some of the iconic, but also some of the more unusual. ![]() Some pack quite the punch, some are cool in design and the way they work, some are different versions of other weapons we may have seen in movies hundreds of times. In thinking through some of my favorite movies, there have been many cool, memorable weapons. One would think the job of being a prop master or weapon designer would have to be one of the most fun and interesting jobs in Hollywood these days with virtually anything being possible only being limited by your imagination.
