Quickdraw! You were faster than my edit.

Dayumm 'Merika, you scary!

The underboob one is good for conceal (if you're well endowed) but terribly impractical for quickdraw, especially if in a close encounter; it's three arm movements for the drawing arm, and one for the other (and thus assumes you have both hands free), giving ample time for counteraction and making it very likely you'll be the one getting shot, not your aggressor. Worse, while an accidental discharge from a side-carried will probably injure your leg, with this you're risking a mortal wound to the chest or abdomen.

Frankly, I don't know how one can live peacefully with the thought that any of the (often unsavoury) people one crosses might be packing a death-dealing machine. *shivers*

You actually made me second guess myself. There were several wild west themed shooters around that time so I went and confirmed that I was remembering the right game.

The quickdraw minigame kinda reminds me of VATS from FO3 in that it was pretty sweet at first, but faded quickly. After doing it a few times the challenge was gone and it just became another repetitive motion to go through.

Perhaps you and I played completely different games, but I loved the original red dead. The storyline mechanics of actual "Draw" fights made that game fun as hell, and the dead eye meter was fun, too.
One of the reasons I was stupidly excited for RDR was because they brought those back, and I was not disappointed.

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!
