now that’s how you choreograph a
shootout welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 movies with the best gunplay
before we begin we publish new videos
every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
films featuring brilliant action scenes
that revolve around firearms we’re
ranking them based on their choreography
and intensity whether the sequences in
question are overly stylish or gritty
and grounded in reality
number 10 Django Unchained Western
shootouts are violent enough as it is so
you can just imagine how the world of
outlaws and gunslingers would appear
through Tarantino’s lens anytime a
cowboy officer or other darn-tootin
rapscallion in Django decides to get
smart and draw their weapon you can be
sure that everything in the immediate
vicinity will be soaked by the impending
bloodbath the bullets seem to carry way
more force than they actually should
causing those who are shot to go flying
through the air like something out of a
Looney Tunes cartoon 5 is law it’s
wildly irreverent and ultra violent
making it the perfect film to start this
list with a bang number 9 equilibrium
you’re treading on my trains
some critics may argue that this film is
a case of style over substance but the
style is simply undeniable the way the
shootout scenes play out is almost like
a dance with slick perfectly timed
movements that result in some truly
dazzling fight choreography the rapid
pace of the shooting moves forward at
such an exhilarating speed that we’d
encourage you not to blink while the
bullets are flying otherwise you just
may miss one of its many moments that
make you say did you just see that heck
even the way they reload is cool what’s
not to love
number eight Deadpool I only have 12
bullets so you’re going to have to share
let’s count them down we hope you’re
wearing your brown pants because you may
get a little excited from all the
on-screen app kicking and bloody
shootouts
Deadpool’s impressive agility and
endurance allow him to put maximum
effort into making every single shot
count making for some interesting
shootout set pieces you wouldn’t see in
most action flicks although his gun
isn’t his main weapon the Merc with a
mouth sure makes good use of it whenever
he whips it out who did that sound bad
now well mr. pool would probably get a
kick out of the double entendre I’m
touching myself tonight number seven
heat how do we steer away from the more
exaggerated example and heat things up
with something a little more
down-to-earth after a bank robbery goes
awry the criminals are left with no
choice but to retaliate against the
police officer zeroing in on them
resulting in one of the most drilling
scenes in any action or crime film what
makes the shootout so exciting to watch
in this case is the excellent sound
design as every shot fired from one of
the many assault rifles and shotguns
sounds equally powerful and destructive
couple this with the sheer level of
carnage panic and collateral damage and
you have one brutal shootout sequence
number six unforgiven cool bitch while
we love Django Unchained for its highly
stylized action scenes Unforgiven is a
more grounded gritty entry in the
western genre don’t be surprised if you
find yourself flinching every time
somebody pulls the trigger in this film
has the immediate crack of the gun shot
evoked notions of raw uncensored
violence in a film that lingers on the
bloody and brutal consequences of each
shot fired there’s nothing particularly
fancy or flashy about the shootouts here
but sometimes a more realistic approach
to gunplay is more than appreciated it
demonstrates how swiftly a gunfight can
start and how suddenly it can end number
five wanted
there are movie characters that are good
with guns and then there are characters
that can alter and control the
trajectory of bullets to ensure they
never miss a target in the world of
wanted expert assassins have developed a
technique called bending the bullet and
it’s just a spectacular to look at at
the sounds put this on canny ability in
mind the action sequences in the movie
are open to some seriously innovative
approaches to gunplay choreography the
bullets whizzed through the air at a
frantic pace and the film occasionally
slows down just enough to give you a
better look at all the mayhem it’s the
movie shoot-’em-up fans have always
wanted number for collateral as
straightforward as gunplay is collateral
treats firearms with a dark unbridled
honesty which is to say when someone
shoots someone dies the violence is
depicted so brutally and without glamour
that you are genuinely terrified at the
possibility of another confrontation for
his role as the villain Tom Cruise went
through rigorous firearms and combat
training for the film and it shows
representing a shootout this way is an
interesting reversal of how we typically
feel in regards to the subject matter in
film as a sequence with bullets flying
is usually meant to entertain and thrill
us collateral reminds us of just how
unfun guns really are which is a
testament to help brilliantly these
scenes are crafted
number three the matrix with the film
expertly combining the speculation and
philosophy of science fiction the Flair
of Japanese anime and the stylish action
of the Hong Kong heroics bloodshed genre
the matrix gave western audiences
shootouts unlike anything they’d ever
seen before while the sound design and
choreography all add to the spectacle on
screen what really sells the gunplay is
the mind-blowing and much parodied
bullet-time effect where things slow
down to a crawl allowing the audience to
witness the ripple effects of bullets as
they travel through the air and the
force of their impact on multiple
objects after seeing the sensational
gunplay in this movie you’ll only be
able to utter one word as a response
number two hard-boiled director John
woos penchant for fast-paced action
scenes involving guns is a staple of his
career as his film a better tomorrow
popularized the heroic bloodshed genre
in both Hong Kong and internationally
hard-boiled however kicks things up to a
level that will knock your socks off
entire sets are obliterated from the
amount of debris and gunfire with the
long cake in the hospital alone being
one of the finest scenes in action
cinema if you want gunfights that become
increasingly outrageous as the movie
goes on then look no further before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions
[Music]
oh I know tell me my favorite yeah tell
me the one about the baby maybe later
when I put you to sleep
Bing there’s the place apart I mean it
was amazing throats gum bags were coming
into the woodwork and dying much
deserved death number one John wick John
wick has been hailed as one of the
greatest modern action films and for
good reason
the high-octane blistering speed of the
choreography is enough to send any fan
of action into a tizzy
once the combat in this one gets going
it barely takes a breath with action set
piece after action set piece the
filmmakers have coined the name gun foo
to describe wix combination of both
gunplay and martial arts with it’s
insane mashup of punches kicks and
wicked fast marksmanship skills John
wick treats gunplay like an art form and
it pays off with amazing results
but can nobody is Chum like do you agree
