Ten Ten Movie Shootouts

Untouchablest_posterThere are few plot inclusions more exhilarating than an honest to goodness barn-burning shootout. Whether they take place on urban city streets or in the Old West, these deadly firefights always make our hearts beat just a little bit faster.  From Brian DePalma to Sam Peckinpah, some of the best directors in the business have taken on the challenge of orchestrating  a symphony of gun play.  At times the result has been a beautifying production of mayhem and death. Although the list is debatable to be sure, after much discussion around the office, here is RELATIVTY OnLine’s top movie shootouts of all time.

  • 1. Heat – robbery scene
  • 2. The Untouchables - train station scene
  • 3. Hard Boiled  – opening sequence
  • 4. The Matrix – lobby sequence
  • 5. Open Range – final showdown
  • 6. The Wild Bunch – final scene
  • 7. The Killer – apartment sequence
  • 8. Scarface – final shootout
  • 9. Tombstone - gunfight at the OK Corral
  • 10.  The Professional – final shootout

    Totally awesome list! Heat is for sure the number shoot out of all time, but the best guy in a shoot out of all time is Tony Montanna, Hands down. You’re missing the Terminator II shootout at Cyberdyne, by the way.

  2. Chen says:

    Heat is all power, but the Untouchables sequence is like an opera. Should have been number one. The gunfight at the OK Corral is the best real life shoot out of all time and Costner’s “Wyatt Earp” is twice the movie “Tombstone” ever will be. Its a far superior movie in every way.

    The final gunfight in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a highpoint in cinema even though only 3 shots are fired!

  • AHMADINEJAD SUFFERS BURNS Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s much anticipated address to the U.N. ended in tragedy when a pyrotechnics mishap left the him with third-degree burns on his hands and face. His entrance music “Highway To Hell” also skipped. Bad day for the Mad Iranian Hobbit.
  • FOOD BARONS WORSE THAN WALL STREET Big Food makes Big Finance look like amateurs: 3 firms process 70% of US beef; 87% of acreage dedicated to GE crops contained crops bearing Monsanto traits; 4 companies produced 75% of cereal and snacks. Holy Shit Batman! Now that’s an dictatorial Monopl
  • HAS EGYPT"S REVOLUTION BECOME A MILITARY COUP? As the so-called Supreme Council of the Armed Forces increasingly cements, and in some cases flaunts, its firm grip on power, the revolution that inspired a region is beginning to look more like an old-fashioned military takeover.
  • KOSHER AND HALAL NO MORE The Dutch parliament voted to ban ritual slaughter of animals, a move strongly opposed by the country’s Muslim and Jewish minorities. Get over yourself Amsterdam, hit the bong, bang a prostutte and live and let live already.
  • TO ALL THE LADIES OUT THERE Online dating has become more popular than ever and cyber sex has replaced face to face excitment altogether for some. To all the ladies out there, the guy you’re currently online with just sent us his photo. Oy Yah baby.
  • WiKI SLAMS SCIENTOLOGISTS Wikipedia has banned the Church of Scientology from editing any articles. Punishment for repeated and deceptive editing of articles related to the controversial religion. Like Wikipedia isn’t filled with false crap anyway. Morons.
