I heard Steve Uyehara and Grace Lee talking about the coolest movie weapons, which immediately took me off task and kept me blissfully distracted for forty-five minutes.
Here's my list in ascending order, with some comments:
10. KAOS's Nude Bomb
From The Nude Bomb, the Maxwell Smart movie. The idea was that this bomb would disintegrate only clothing, and KAOS would then have a corner on the clothing market. Brilliant! And funny! But an awful film.
9. Harry Potter's wand
Harry's wand would be higher on this list if it looked anything like the way it's supposed to look as described in the novel, but that's okay. Did you know Harry's wand contains the tailfeather of a phoenix?
8. Bruce Lee's hands and feet
Were I more objective, I think this would be number 1.
7. Go-Go Yubari's meteor hammer
I really wanted to include The Bride's sword in the Kill Bill films, but pzarquon convinced me that it was lame to have two weapons from the same film in one top-ten list. I'm going with Go-Go's meteor hammer because it's unique, it's kinda scary, and the way Go-Go wields it is downright sexy. Yes, The Bride is pretty sexy with her own sword, but she's not even as sexy as O-Ren Ishii with hers (remember her out in the snow like that?), so meteor hammer it is.
6. Wolverine's adamantium blades
Downright heart-stopping, especially with the accompanying sound effects. Isn't that a great scene in X3 when the kitty cat licks the blades?
5. Johnny Rambo's M60
4. Jason Voorhees's chainsaw
3. Dirty Harry Callahan's Smith & Wesson .44 magnum
2. Darth Maul's light-sabre bo staff
Again, it would have been nice if Darth Maul could have been a worthier foe, but you had to admit this was a cool weapon, and it did take two Jedis to take him down!
1. Indiana Jones's whip
How could there be anything else atop this list?
Okay. there's mine. What are yours?
