Some of the better movie gunfight(s).

I know that there are some who like to criticize "L.A. Confidential", but I think that gunfight at the end is very well done.

Oooh, I totally forgot about LA Confidential. What is there to criticize about it?

Beats me, but I've read more than a few comments on other gun forums in which posters savage the gunfight at the end. They never go into details just bitch about it. I own it and I like it.

Well, two guys with only four guns against what, a dozen dirty cops seems a bit disproportionate, but I liked it. (Then again, why didn't Captain Smith just torch the motel and burn them out?)

You're right about the numbers, but the way it's staged it feels like they could pull it off.

Maybe if we combine Michael Mann and John Woo into one region, that would be more fair. I don't think either have eight entries on their own.

Come on guys, you're forgetting The Kingdom. The final shootout is great. The FBI team and their Saudi escort chase after the terrorists to get heir man back, and there's a wild shootout. Jamie Fox runs all over the place, empties and picks up three separate guns, and clears the building with the Saudi officer. Jenifer Garner clears the rest of the building, and ends up in a one-sided fight against a man twice her size. Concealment isn't cover, and Garner nearly gets blown up by a friendly grenade, ammo runs out (in a deleted scene, Fox's AK runs out and he's reduced to throwing plates), and the Jamie Fox/Ashraf Barhom duo empties three guns each in the shootout.

Heat is great.

You can't forget the lobby shootout from the original Matrix

The Wild Bunch: Only seen the shootouts on youtube, but man, what a body count. Everything dies, it's not pretty.

Ronin: Good shootouts, but the movie's second half was pretty bad.

The Wild Geese was terrible. No one even pretends to aim, nor does anyone reload.

The Terminator films always impressed me with how, despite being sci-fi killer robot films, the gunplay was very good. People still reload and stuff.

The Veteran, of which I've only seen the final shootout, seems really good aside from the weak guns shots http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K_cqGAoxks

Any links to good shootouts on youtube?
