Top 50 Movie Shootouts. by TheHestinator • Created 10 years ago • Modified 1 week ago. There is a limit of one shootout per series and no military confrontations are allowed. I didn't count the various Sergio Leone standoffs, because they don't really count as shootouts.

- Shoot 'Em Up
- MacGruber
- The Way of The Gun
- The Wild Bunch
- Captain America: The Winter Soldier

- Django Unchained
- L.A. Confidential
Walter Hill has famously said that every film of his is a Western. It’s easy to see how the Wild West template fit the band of outlaws moving about a city in The Warriors and a down on his luck journeyman bare-knuckle fighter settling into a town to make some money in Hard Times but The Long Riders was his only full-fledged Western until his later ...
It's not very often that your run-of-the-mill action movie opens with a bang-bang, shoot-em-up scene, but for a movie titled Shoot 'Em Up, it's kind of a must-have. Though just deep enough on story to set things up for the rest of the runtime, this opening sequence is absolutely dripping with style. That style might not be to everyone's liking, but...
So maybe MacGruber doesn’t have the most stylish or even impressive shootout sequence on this list, but boy is it funny. The film subverts traditional action movie standards by presenting a hero who favors ripping people’s throats out over using guns, but when Will Forte’s MacGruber is handed a semi-automatic, all hell breaks loose. As crafted by d...
You would be forgiven for either forgetting or, more likely, having never seen The Way of the Gun, the oddball early aughts actioner that starred Benicio Del Toro andRyan Phillippe as two ruthless criminals who get in over their head when they kidnap the wrong woman. It's an offbeat film with some narrative missteps, but as McQuarrie has proved wit...
While the final shootout may appear relatively tame to modern audiences, in 1969, it was a bloodbath with Sam Peckinpah’s western diving into levels of violence rarely seen in American cinema. The shootout is a cacophony, but it’s not really meant to entertain. If anything, it’s a deconstruction of the fun westerns provide and it throws the viewer ...
Superheroes and shootouts don't seem like they should go together, it's almost too pedestrian, but the military heritage of Captain America lays the groundwork for The Winter Soldier's tactical battle on a crowded city highway. Chris Evans' Cap, Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, and Anthony Mackie's Falcon put their military and mercenary training ...
Warren Oates is the unsung king of the neo-Western shootout. After manning the machine gun during the epic end of The Wild Bunch, Oates graduated to leading man shootout status in both Sam Peckinpah’s Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia and John Milius’ Dillenger. Oates was perfect for a neo-Western because he wasn’t traditionally handsome, he look...
Hot Fuzz isn't a comedy movie with action or an action movie with comedy, it's a true action-comedy hybrid of the rarest order. Edgar Wright layers laughs and action with unique skill, fulfillingboth genres in a single beat, and that talent is never more clearly displayed than when Simon Pegg's Nicholas Angel and Nick Frost's Danny Butterman ride i...
So yeah, a Quentin Tarantino movie had to land on this list. While Tarantino mastered the Mexican Standoff misdirect with Reservoir Dogs, it wasn’t until Django Unchained that he really went all-in on an extended, bloody, gory, oh-so-Tarantino-y movie shootout. But it’s not just the staging and execution of the shootout at Candyland that makes it s...
Despite being made in the late nineties, Curtis Hanson's L.A. Confidential is an old-fashioned noir. Set in the seedy streets of 1920's Los Angeles, the film follows three officers serving in the corrupt law enforcement, each embracing or rejecting the criminality that surrounds them with their own moral code (or lack there of). The final set-piece...
- Greatest Movie Shootouts. Heat (1995) The greatest shootout of all time. The shootout doesn’t get better than it does in Heat. So intensely researched that Val Kilmer’s reloading technique is shown in basic training, so committed to realism that the gunshot sound effects were recorded on location, director Michael Mann created the ideal cinematic gunfight.
- Best Gun Fight Movie Scenes. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) One of the most iconic endings of all time. While Hard Boiled provides the perfect shootout direction, Butch Cassidy provides the perfect writing.
- Greatest Movie Shootouts. Hard Boiled (1992) They just keep coming… John Woo is the godfather of the modern shootout, influencing everyone from the Wachowskis to Tarantino, and the hospital shootout from Hard Boiled is probably his finest.
- Best Police Shootout Movie Scenes. The Matrix (2014) This made these glasses cool. Have we mentioned Keanu Reeves yet? Ah, then let’s focus on the groundbreaking work of the Wachowski sisters.

Dec 12, 2023 · Movie shootouts can vary in terms of violence, intensity, and scope, but the most enjoyable ones are often the most fun to watch. Western movies have dramatic shootouts, crime films have personal gunfights, and action movies have high body counts. Some movie shootouts are exceptional because they demonstrate attention to detail ...
