The 19 Coolest Weapons Only in Movies was created by Shellhead
Randomly stumbled across this list, complete with pictures, of 19 coolest weapons that only exist in movies:

my.mmoabc.com/article/Daftshadow/3760/Th...Movies.html?login=no

We should be able to come up with more. Any suggestions?

The Vasquez/Drake-recommended "smart gun" from Aliens was cooler than the pulse rifle.

I can't believe they didn't have the From Dusk 'til Dawn dick n' balls gun.

I'm glad they didn't have the chainsaw hand.

Glaive FTW

Phasers are total weak sauce. They look like those ear thermometers. Oh no! You're going to take my temperature!

They didn't include:

SHITTY list compiled by an amateur.

First thought- "no Glaive, no credibility".

Also, the 3 (no, 4) bladed sword from SWORD AND THE SORCEROR isn't included.

Or the crotch gun from FROM DUSK TIL DAWN.

Or the decapitation machine from Dario Argento's TRAUMA

Or the decapitation machine from CALIGULA

Or the magic lyre from DEADFUL MELODY.

Or the FUCKING FLYING GUILLOTINE for christ's sake.

It goes on and on...and they have the fucking stupid Joker pistol on there...jeez.

I couldn't get the page to load, but the first thing to come to mind before reading the replies was the Glaive.

I'm with Michael Barnes. The Flying Guillotine is far and away the best movie weapon ever created. Just watch this if you doubt me.

Also of note is the "Indian Yoga Master" who looks like he went through the same process of changing faces as the main character in Team America.

Agreed. Crappy list. You need to come to a place like F:At for the definitive list.

Ironcates, you highlighted the Lightsaber which was on the original list and it is indeed a fine weapon, but how can any serious list not include the fricking Death Star. I mean, what other weapon do you need when you have that bad boy in your arsenal.
