Most Impressive Movie Armory
 

I'm sure we've all seen movies which give some screen time to a characters personal armory. I'd like to know which one you guys think is the best. Either in terms of size, or variety of weapons or whatever really. Personally, I'd say the one in the Boondock Saints is pretty awesome, mostly for that DShK heavy machine gun and plus it had a nice assortment of guns. Plus the way it was presented, like they were going through a candy store.

Another thing though, why is it that you hardly ever see enough ammo to supply all the guns, if any. Doesn't seem to make much sense to stock up on all that firepower and then under supply yourself with any bullets with which to shoot.

Not as big as the one in Boondock Saints but Brad Pitt had a pretty nice set up in his underground arsenal in Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Well movie wise, obviously they can never find all the ammo boxes enough to arm every single gun we see on the wall. Realistically, if there were such stockpiles of weapons, there would be. This is cinema and it's all about the guns, not the ammo

I would have to agree with the armory in the Boondock Saints. Although my appreciation for it is dampened since I spent a good couple of hours documenting every single gun in there.

The armory in Commando was pretty impressive (and had more than one heavy machine gun), although my feelings toward it are the same.

The armory in commando is a comedy scene lol, sporting goods stores with quad barrel rocket launcers and grenades to compliment the full auto selection?

Eh...... Terminator 2 anyone? It had more guns than both those movies, including several assault rifles, machine guns an M79 and a goddamn Minigun! Not to mention is had the coolest hiding place ever.... under a buncha sand!

The obvious choice for size and firepower would have to be The Matrix, but that was a computer program which can spawn anything so that doesn't count.

Obviously the Matrix loading room full of guns doesn't count. I'm sure most of it was CGI repeats.

The IRA armory in "The Boondock Saints" is definitely one of my favs, as is the one from "The Matrix".

I also thought the armory scene in "Hard Boiled" was kinda cool, and also the one in "Spawn".

The T2 armory was small actually, and while it did have impressive weapons, it wasn't as big as or as full as other movie armories. And constant sand and heat in there means when you get to them, they'll be rusty, dusty, and not as reliable.

I think the Matrix armory is my favorite in theory. The thought that you could pick any gun you wanted from it is awesome. No limitations.

Danny Glover's trunk in Predator 2.

A handgun in damn near every caliber and style possible, a customized short-barreled 12-gauge and probably a couple of full sized boomsticks, enough body armor to outfit a platoon...and a CAR-15-style assault rifle with an M203 mounted underneath and HE rounds. And the shit's mobile, too?

2nd place has to go to El Mariachi's guitar case in Desperado.

How about the armory in the Farmer's shed in Hot Fuzz?

I really liked Arnie's keypad access armoury in Commando.

The thing I found strange was that he first pulled out a 1911 of some kind and said, "too slow" before putting it back. Then he grabs a shorty Remington 870? Isn't that kind of gun even "slower"?

Of course, he did manage to fire it pretty rapidly when he took out all of those drug dealers, which is what makes the whole scene so ridiculous. Four guys with full-auto Steyr AUGs and H&K G3s, and he's the one who comes out on top against all of them?

Yeah, good one! Of course, that one's mostly supposed to be a spoof of similar scenes in other movies. But I loved it.

Or later in Hot Fuzz where they filled the evidence room full of those guns.

There is a movie with Chris Tucker and Charlie Sheen called Money Talks that has a decent armory in it. A few M16s, MP5Ks, Mini-Uzis, a bunch of handguns and what appeared to be an AT4. Something hilarious about the scene is when Charlie Sheen starts talking about the MP5K and says he knows about because he did a report on "Street Weapons." I'm actually surprised there isn't a page for it on here. Then again it's not a great movie.

I'm pretty sure he said "too small".

I agree, and I also thought Creasy's (Denzel Washington) arsenal in Man On Fire was good.

Make a new thread for that kind of question. This thread is for most impressive armory in a movie.

Another one I've seen again was the Punisher armory. Thomas Jane Punisher where the camera pans forward, showing us an array of weapons.

I deleted that post. It was a weird SPAM post which uses an algorithm to 'try' to emulate a person engaging in the conversation, but they never work. No one is that incoherent, unless they are posting completely drunk.......

That was going to be my vote.
