military conflicts standoffs and
traditional Western showdowns since
we’ve already got you covered with top
10 western movie gunfights also we

The Boondock Saints it’s the st. Patty’s
Day everyone’s Irish tonight I just pull
up a stool on a Drake with after killing

good little Catholic boys they are they
never forget to say their prayers
power hath descended forth from thy hand
her feet may swiftly carry out that man
so we shall flow a river forth to thee
in teeming with Souls so that ever be
nominated paltry and feely society but
even with God on their side there still
surprised at their success you know what
TV yours got that guy that jumps over
this over then you got shoes over ten
minutes too good yes we are number nine
victory motel shootout LA Confidential
Dudley kill Jack he wants you to kill me
after being double-crossed by their own
agency we’re gonna figure this out we
need to work together
agents Exley and white must fight off
wave after wave of armed adversaries
while holed up in a dilapidated motel
moments of intense action are punctuated
with excruciating moments of silence as
the two coppers await the inevitable
with a lot of luck and a little
ingenuity Exley in white managed to
outwit their rivals and gain the upper
hand
however the victory comes at a cost as
both come out injured
number eight the stairways shootout The
Untouchables there’s some problem I can
help you in a clear homage to Sergei
Eisenstein’s battleship potemkin a pram
painstakingly makes its way up the
agonizingly long stairs at Union Station
where prohibition agent Eliot Ness is
waiting to nab one of Al Capone’s
accountants but inevitably well let’s
break the silence
in the ensuing crossfire the stroller
baby and all go tumbling down the stairs
time slows to a crawl and tension is
high as nest tries to stay alive catch
the gangster and save the baby all at
the same time taken to number 7 the
Candy Land Massacre Django Unchained I
couldn’t resist
as it is for most Tarantino protagonists
payback is a long time coming for Django
Freeman this former slave is finally
able to exact his revenge for his wife’s
kidnapping when all his targets are
conveniently placed in one big shootout
ready house
the showdown is stylish gruesome and
grimly realistic all at the same time as
man after man is felled bullet-wound
spout fountains of blood corpses are
used as shields and the walls of
Candyland are painted red number six bar
shootout desperado talk about a pub
crawl
this classic shootout pits Antonio
Banderas against a bar full of
gun-toting drunks triggers are pulled in
effectually in el mariachis direction as
the expertly guns down patron after
patron there’s even a familiar face that
makes the scene all the more fun after
Banderas dances along the bar like a
drunken college girl he uses a
springboard to get to his next trick
the shootout concludes with el Mariachi
and his target attempting to shoot each
other with mixed results
number-5 mindless violence Hot Fuzz
turns out being an idyllic crime-free
village in southwest England isn’t as
easy as it sounds
Sandford Gloucestershire is actually
controlled by a murderous group of
seniors called the Neighborhood Watch
Alliance who are working for the greater
good
sergeant Nicholas angel and his partner
Danny then take the law into their own
hands which makes sense since they’re
cops and trigger a showdown against the
NWA in the town square that’s what I’m
talking about the resulting shootout is
action-packed highly satisfying and
overflowing with brilliant send-off
lines tag number four the tea house
shootout hard-boiled inspector tequila
UN and his partner are staking out a tea
house where gun smuggling gangsters are
about to make a deal
but another member of the gang is primed
and ready for an ambush the result is a
5-minute sequence where tequila must
plot a course through a heavy hail of
bullets and John woos trademark slow mo
birds while taking down gangsters and
trying to get his partner out alive
the final shot involves a ghostly chow
yun-fat
avenging his friend number three
compound showdown Scarface
this classic scene introduces everyone’s
favorite little friend Tony Montana’s
compound is invaded by hordes of
gun-toting enemies trying to end his
reign as drug King Tony deals with this
intrusion the only way he knows how and
manages to take out a good chunk of the
intruders in the process miraculously a
hail of bullets to the neck and chest
doesn’t seem to have any effect but
finally a shotgun blast right to the
back brings this cocaine Baron down to
lobby shoot out the matrix
jeez loose change oh shit
the nefarious agent Smith has captured
Morpheus and the only way to save him is
to get through a lobby of heavily armed
guards martial-arts merges with good
old-fashioned trigger pulling action as
neo and Trinity flip kick and blast
their way through waves of deadly
soldiers all set to a techno electro
soundtrack oh and physics screw physics
this is the matrix when the dust finally
clears the walls are crumbling the body
count is high but our heroes are
unscathed before we unveil our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions
number one run-and-gun
Heat they’re already coming out okay
we’re gonna have to take him in a car
wait till they are all in get clean shot
watch your background when lieutenant
Vincent Hanna ambushes career criminal
Neil McCauley and his gang as they
attempt to escape a bank robbery the
ensuing gunfight lasts of beefy 5
minutes and takes no prisoners
thieves and policemen alike are brutally
cut down in the crossfire on the crowded
streets of Los Angeles and Hannah

kill shot before McCauley and his
partner finally escape this gritty and
realistic scene will certainly get your
heart pumping
