More food for thought. I'm leaving the ones I don't like out. Like the dumb-ass rail gun from Eraser.

The quad rocket launcher from Commando.
The laser whip from Johnny Mnemonic.
Rambo's survival knife and bow.
The frisbee things from Tron.
Inigo Montoya's sword from The Princess Bride.
Charles Bronson's .44 Magnum from Death Wish.
Travis Bickle's quickdraw gun Mechanism from Taxi Driver.
Dirty Harry's .357 Magnum
Bullet Tooth Tony's Desert Eagle .50 from snatch.
Freddy Kruger's glove
Jason's Machette

This isn't over yet!

Congrats, Firefly!

Some of my favs:
The classic duel between the Dread Pirate Roberts and Inigo Montoya
The puzzling, scary Amputee by Choice
The very cool, very bizarre Walking Fish

That's off the top of my head. My wife saw this and filled in a few more, and corrected a few.

It's certainly not "indisputable" or "bulletproof".
And a poll certainly does not make it so.

To paraphrase Mandy Patinkin from The Princess Bride, I do not think those things mean what you think they mean.

A good double-bill with The Princess Bride.

daphne has posted two other efforts (re-enactments) by ArtieTSmith:


The Princess Bride:

Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail:

For the record, shown here are Willow, Princess Bride, Krull, Legend, The Dark Crystal, Masters of the Universe, The Neverending Story, Labyrinth, and Highlander. Music is "Starlight" by Muse

an all time classic, right up there next to the Princess Bride

slim shady!

i was hoping for more of the buildup...

but anything from the princess bride is good.
