Default Top 5 shootouts

This is about the top 5 shootouts you like. And pretty much it means any scene with guns involving. You have to name a specific scene. You can't pick an entire movie. You can also pick scenes from shows too.


1. Heat - Where they battle it out on the streets.
2. Blackhawk down - Durant's crash site where the 2 Delta snipers did their last stand.
3. Hard Boiled - The one hospital shootout that was done in one take
4. The Unit - In season 2, the main Unit characters are in the middle east and link up with an army check point to take on an army of hostiles.
5. Ultimate Force - The episode called "Something to do with Justice" Where the SAS team pretty much plows through a building, taking down hostiles.

Warning, this list is heavy with the Michael Bay and Michael Mann love.

1) Heat, the robbery-turned-gunfight. The gold standard by which all movie shootouts have been judged since 1995.

2) Bad Boys, hangar finale. It was a tight race between this and the sequel's gunfight at the intersection (just before the chase across the MacArthur Causeway). I give the edge to this scene just because, well, you really can't go wrong with it.

3) Public Enemies, Little Bohemia. Between the Thompsons and Winstead's Winchester 1901, this probably wins for being one sweet-sounding shootout.

4) Transformers, USAF personnel vs. Skorponok. There are so many scenes in both this and Revenge of the Fallen that should have made the list. But like the earlier dilemma with Bad Boys I and II, I give the desert fight with Skorponok the nod because everything just comes together in this one. The AC-130 gunship helps, too.

5) The Rock, Marines ambush the SEALs. One of the finer moments in the movie, and probably that exact moment you realize that they're for real. The verbal exchange between Ed Harris and Michael Biehn is great, too.

Honorable mentions: Miami Vice (2006), final gunfight at the harbor. Shooter, the battle at the cabin. Die Hard 2...pick one. Die Hard, Karl and Hans corner McClane.

Most of the good ones have been said...
I liked the car park shootout from A Better Tomorrow.

How about the whole movie of Mr and Mrs Smith!

Public Enemies... don't get me started on that one. The shootout at Little Bohemia was the only part of the film that didn't make me wish I was playing Pokemon on my gameboy...
