heat, t2, matrix jup.
i really enjojed desperado for it's over the top gun scenes.
also hard boiled with it's way over the top unlimmited ammo 2 minutes duells with 346583 windowjumps and akimbo action... dumb but fun.
also liked replacement killers

damn, forgot that one. the bar shoot out in desperado was pretty bad ass. i still liked heat because as crazy as this may sound, it was a lot more realistic. there were no wired flips and jumps or cartwheels. just good ole fashioned "get your ass behind a car and shoot at the police barricade" shoot out.

What distinguished the lobby scene was the fact that Bullet time was applied differently... it encompassed the scene as a whole, instead of a brief specific sequence... the debris, running, and shoostings... it was used widely. I also hope that Revolutions has a similar sequence. The only thing is, as was with reloaded, the sequences are so complex I begin to thoroughly enjoy them after I watch them repeatedly... initially i don't know where to look or what's going on, it's almost too much to take in watching it just once.

i agree, somehow that movie got a cult following. i watched it and didn't see what they saw


They're gay (had the hots for the two leads). Really though, I bought this DVD on the word of mouth it got on these forums and boy was I dissappointed. Boondock Saints was a bad Tarrantino ripoff.

i agree, Heat's was really well done. And not only the protaganist get the best shots off, pacino makes a few good one:)P ) also.

third... i was in awe when i saw that... the automatic machine guns echoing through the crowded city... ownage... i loved it.. i watched that scene over 10 times... only good part of the movie :)

equilibrium had some awesome choreography (at some points better than matrix), still the lobby scene owns all.

Ending of Scarface- "Say hello to my little friend!" That was pretty badass.

thinking back to all the movies I seen the lobby scene blows them away... I sometimes rewind that part over and over during the movie.

I hope revolutions has one that can top it or else I'd be dissappointed.

Anyways can you think of a better gun scene, if so give the title so I can rent it :)

have you seen the preview? that one scene where they all in mechwarrior suits vs all those sentinels looks sooo good

I've been meaning to see it but the server keeps dropping my connection so I gave up yesterday...

link to that specific preview, PLS!!! (non bit-torrent)

I agree. . .I think the sound of the various guns is one of the things that makes that scene so good. They sound really real, not like they were dubbed in.

The best gun scene ever.:D

That gun scene was great until that Terminator dude just walked up behind with a shotgun and shot him. What a horrible ending :(

you guys might want to watch John Woo's The Killer and Hard Boiled... some really good gunfighting in those. Better than the Matrix I would say
