Great shots on the silver screen...

:hmm: AS I remember the scene, Davy sluips a ball into his mouth before he shots and implies he catches it in his moputh when accually it hit a keg of rum on the counter that his side kick played by Buddy Ebsen plugs with his finger. :rotf:

:thumbsup: IF anyone has shoot blackpowder rifle have most likely have shoot their ramrod out of their gun and it kicks like a mule. A friend of mine tried the ramrod shoot once while deerhunting when a deer walked up on him while he waqs in the middle of reloading. Missed the deer, lost his ramrod and the the very fine ramrod jag that was on the ramrod.

This doesn't count so much as a gunshot, but very well executed.

It's from an old John Wayne movie El Dorado where James Caan walks into a bar to confront someone.
The cheesy mexi-western music in the movie is great

It's a 2 minute clip, but worth the watch

jumpshot, whoever trained the shooter in that clip, did so perfectly, notice the push back, bringing the left hand back to cover the heart, 4 additional inches of protection, now the draw, perfectly ececuted, short draw, elbow tucked into side tightly for stability, absolutely perfect instinctive form for just that situation..push away, cover heart, draw tuck and fire...recover and face the next opponent...taught it for a hundred years...best i've ever seen in a movie ...thanks...Lee

For me, it was when working on the location shoot in New Salem, Illinois for "The Awakening Land". In one scene, all of us extras were whooping and hollering for some reason. The guy next to me was to fire off his flinter into the air. For one take, he let fly too soon, right next to my face and fake beard, igniting the crepe hair. My face got put out, the beard trimmed a bit, and we resumed filming. I've always regretted that my near immolation was not included in the movie, just one of the tamer, non-incendiary takes.

The good, the bad and the ugly..When (ugly) makes a pistol from parts of several guns and then goes out behind the store to the mini shooting range to try it out. He shoots the target causing it to spin sideways then splits it in two with the final shot. Then the famous words...."How much"?
Brings a tear to my eye every time I see it :bull:

 

[st_lgarret01]

for sheer badass-ness, i'd go with the scene from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly when Angel Eyes covers his employer's head with the pillow and put 5 rounds from his 51 navy into the man's face.
gives me the shivers every time.

best line is from Life and times of Judge Roy Bean after paul newman shoots bad bob, and one of his deputies says "it wern't mush of a stand up fight was it?"
and Paul says "stand up? I laid down to steady my aim."

classic

 

[MikeChapin]

One of my favorites is a few lines after that.

Deputy: It wasn't much of a fair fight.

Roy Bean : If he wanted a fair fight he should have gone somewhere else.

Valdez is coming.

Several good scenes there. One comes to mind.

Valdez has just picked off some of the bad guys with his Sharps rifle and leaves. the baddies find his brass (shouldn't have left that behind!) and mull over the incident.

the chief villain asks was it Valdez? and his cohort says "yea, it was a Sharps, or some kind of buffalo gun....or a cannon!"

Later they confront him about the shooting and the distance and say it must have been 7-800 yards to which he replies "more like one tousand!" good stuff.
