Recommend some good 'gun movies'.

[vujade]

Hi guys.

 

Let's share some of your favorite movies where guns play a central role.  This can be war movies (I love "Enemy at the Gates) or movies that focus on gun sports or any others...

I'll share this one:

 

It's on Netflix.  "Triple Tap".    It's actually one movie that got me interested into 1911s and now curious about shooting sports.  The first part is actually really good until they tried to make it 'Hollywood' but in the end, it's still a fun movie.    I found interesting the showing of gun laws in Hong Kong as well. 

 

Here is a teaser:

a 'summary' :

 

Champion competitive marksman Ken Kwan (Louis Koo) comes across an armored van robbery. He sees a policeman being held hostage and shoots and kills four of the robbers. One of the robbers escapes and the policeman survives. The case is handled by Officer Jerry Chong (Daniel Wu), a fellow competitive shooting enthusiast whom Ken has recently defeated in a match. The two men had befriended each other after the competition. Although Ken's actions were controversial in heavily gun-controlled Hong Kong, the court finds him to be not guilty and he is released a hero. Soon after, Ken is attacked by the escaped robber Pang Tao. Their confrontation opens up a very different background story and brings about a myriad of lies and traps and changes in relationship as Jerry and Ken try to outsmart each other.

It's kind of a gun-fu movie, but I always thought Equilibrium was a pretty good gun movie. Edited January 1, 2013 by TripleDigitRide

I always liked Heat a lot.

 

Rumor has it that they show the street shootout to soldiers for a proper urban tactical retreat.

Red Dawn.

I liked the original one but I didn't like the new one. 

 

You know a good modern 'red dawn' like movie (also on Netflix) is "Tomorrow when the war began".

[vujade]

Any of these movies 'get you into a gun'?

 

I shared in my post above what got me into 1911s.  This isn't a movie but the game "Red Dawn Redemption" got me into lever actions. =)
