Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Best gun fight scene in a action movie?

My vote goes to John Wick 3. John Wick, Halle Barry, and Belgian Malinois.

Open Range

Heat

Wind River

Heat had a few good ones.

Bugs Bunny vs the Indians

I never figured out how Boss and Baxter could sit on the floor 6' apart and blast away with no more injury to either than there was.

The final shootouts in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "The Wild Bunch" are pretty good.

The thing I like about Butch Cassidy is that they aren't 100% bulletproof and protected by plot armor - when you have a whole bunch of guys shooting at you someone is going to score a hit now and then.

Open range

With the fifty shot revolvers?

With the shotgun so powerful it literally throws someone across an alley?

Not the most factual, just the most entertaining

IrvingD: Doesn't even hold a candle to the Police vs. Robbers shootout in "Heat"!

Said it before, saying it again - a ton of the "reloading" that was done to make it accurate ended up on the edit room floor.

OR isn't the movie I'd be mad at for "reloads and accuracy" - the ones that drive me nuts are full auto, 8 foot muzzle flash and not a single piece of brass in the air.

And this famous scene

Watched Lone Survivor last night but was more of a battle than a shootout.

Not gunfights, but you wouldn't believe all the technical errors I catch about ballistics, projectile characteristics et cetera in otherwise entertaining detective shows out of Britain.

When Val Goes Hot without hesitation is pretty memorable

HEAT

Best machine gun and shootout fight ever seen!

I'd nominate the final shootout scene from "The Wild Bunch".
