My Coolest Movie Weapons

Some of the best characters in movies aren't actors. It's that thing that they hold in their hands that wreaks havoc and makes the movie all the more entertaining for the rest of us movie idiots.

Without much ado, here are my Favorite Movie Weapons.

The Throwing Star

Krull


Ever since I was a kid, I've always wanted one of these. Sure it's aerodynamically impossible to hurl, it being made with heavy brass and all, plus the contours of the blades don't really genreate maximum airlift...but hey its magical and can choose what to hit, where to hit it, and fly back to its owner after dodging 134 different arrows!

Wolverine's Claws

The X-Men Movies



Adamatium claws that retract at will may not be for everyone, especially if you don't have the superhuman power to heal your self (like i do).

Nameless' Sword

Hero



Jet Li's sword with a wedge shaft in the middle was the best sword idea since the light saber. Imagine being able to dislodge your opponent's sword from his hands by letting the sword wedge through the hole and twisting it out of your enemy's grip! Brilliant. You will, though need to have surgeon's hands to pull off a trick like that.

Blain's Gattling Gun

Predator



Jessie Ventura's character Blain was one of the more likeable gung ho ones, and he had the biga** gun that sprayed the entire perimeter aroud the platoon before they pressed forward. Although Blain was killed, he is forever immortalized by this obnoxious weapon the buzz left by the machine after he ran out of bullets.

The .44 Magnum

Dirty Harry



I heard this gun doesn't actually cut a big, gaping hole in your head when you get shot with it. It turns into tomato paste.

"Go ahead, punk. Make my day!"

The BFG

Doom



Playing the game, the BFG is what you wanted to get so you could coast through the game and cut through your enemies like butter. The BFG in the move was used only once, but oh boy did it make a lasting, gaping impression.

The Hammer

OldBoy (Thanks to jegs)



I cant believe I left this out. Once jegs reminded me about this. It reminded me of the dreadful scene in OldBoy involving this hammer and a jailkeeper's front teeth. Truly a milestone in the field of Dentisty.

Thanks again dude.

The Hattori Hanzo Sword

Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2



"...If on your journey, you should encounter God, God will be cut."

Hattori Hanzo's statement that "without ego, this was his finest sword" is enough for all of us to be convinved that this is one bada** samurai sword. Come on, it can cut other swords in half!

The One Ring

The Lord of the Rings Movies



Probably the most powerful weapon on the list. It's pursuers die and generations of humans, elves and dwarves have suffered great losses because of it. Whoever wields it becomes corrupted and turns into a prune after its lost. Even a pure hearted Elijah Wood was barely able to destroy something so powerful yet so small.

The Light Saber

- The Star Wars Movies



Probably the most original, innovative and culturallly impactful movie weapon of all time. Despite numerous filed attempts at copying it for the past 30 years. The Ster wars patented light saber continues to be the global favorite among 8 year old boys and 40 year old virgins.

I have left the number 10 slot for you and your comments. Please fell free to give me your own favorite movie weapon. (Im out of ideas, I took some very powerful anibiotics last night.)(Update: spot was filled in by the Oldboy hammer)
