Greatest Shootouts EVER

for me best gun-fight scenes are in Matrix and Equilibrium

gee, you guys have them just about all covered... but what about all three die hard movies!! Those things are just jampacked with gun fighting!

I love the Die Hard movies

I'd probably go with the one in 3000 Miles To Graceland where Kevin has that M249 and is blowing up all those cars and shooting all those S.W.A.T guys who have MP5s.

How come Special Forces guys in films are always given crap guns. They are always given crap guns like:

-AK47's (example: army in bad boys II)
-MP5's (example: S.W.A.T, 3000 miles to graceland)
-M4A1's (example: bad boys II, SWAT)

All the bad guys get wicked guns:

P90's (example: Die Another Day, xXx)
Remmington's (example: Kill Bill 2)
M249's
SVD Snipers
AI Arctic Magnum Snipers

How do the bad guys pay for all this crap?

The bad guys in a lot of movies are rich drug dealers so thats how they can pay for the guns.

most defintly

I never really could figure out what to think of that movie. Its like 1984 with fighting which is cool, and some of the scenes were cool, but the movie just lacked something.

Desperado had some mean shoot em ups.

The Rainbow Six team had silenced MP10's. Imagine being a bad guy and hearing a barely audible 'click-click-click' before seeing one of your fellow criminal's head exploding. That book had some tense gunfight moments. They weren't all action-y like the movies, you really got a sense that they had to take the bad guys down quickly since innocent lives were at stake. Hope they make a movie out of that book some day.

I think Hard Boiled had some of the best gunplay I've ever seen.

Of course, the lobby scene in The Matrix is a classic. That stupid anti-gravity coat check scene in Revolutions was lame though.

Yeah forgot bout the lobby scene, thats definately up there with the best. Revolutions club-hell scene was pure crap.

i liked the gun fighting scene from fifth element

brue willis (dallas) vs thos creatures on the cruise ship.

Best gunfight scene was the Hymalayan barroom gunfight in Raiders.

Barney The Movie: The Uncut, and Unrated version 😛
sick a$$ gun sequences

Aku,

you sure know your guns. Michael Moore must have crapped his pants.

In my opinion, A Better Tommorow 2, has the best gunfight ever.
Reel.com also called it the "most frantic gun-battle ever filmed".

I loved those scenes. They were real cool.

The Lobby gunfight in The Matrix was one of the best scnese of the movie. It totally kicked ass.

i now .....

Botched bank robbery scene in Heat.

The "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" gunfight in Face/Off.

The lobby shootout in Matrix definitely raised the bar on shootouts as well.
