The Top 10 Most Iconic Movie Weapons – Celebrity Interviews

10. The Cricket Bat
From: Shaun Of The Dead (2004)

What would be the most unlikely weapon to beat the un-living daylights out of a zombie horde? Nightstick? Done. Chainsaw? Borrrrrringgggg. Cricket bat?  Now we’re talking. Simon Pegg ‘s weapon of choice is one of the most awesome pieces of wood (that’s what she said) in cinematic history. Not as sinister looking as a baseball bat, this angled piece of lumber saved Shaun and his friends’ collective “arses” a number of times. Hold on, you’ve got red on you.

 

9. The Sting

From: Lord of the Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring (2001)

This one is surely up for some debate. While it didn’t shed the most blood (Aragon’s sword), have the longest range (Legolas’ bow) or have the most style (Gandalf’s staff and beard combo), how can you deny Frodo and his glowing toothpick? Subtle, elegant and handy when you can’t find your way to the bathroom at night, The Sting definitely held it’s own up against the big boys.

 

 

8. Odd Job’s Hat
From: Goldfinger (1964)

You can either put it on your head or slice it through somebody else’s. The most iconic weapon from the JamesBondiverse just edges out the satellite death rays, the Golden Gun and Bond’s Walther PPK for being deadly as well as stylish. And it’s just so weird! A hat? That you can kill people with? Definitely an accessory everyone needs. Extra points for turning a jolly, rotund Asian man into a master assassin. Constantly imitated, never duplicated, the only sharper thing than the hat in Goldfinger was “Shirrr Sh-aaaawn Connerrrrry’s” wits.

 

7. Wrist Blades
From: Predator (1987)

It slices! It dices! It can skin a human being in mere minutes! These twin blades beat out the shoulder plasma cannon for its shear brutality and bloodiness factor. The Predator may only have two blades but it makes Wolverine’s claws look like the Slapchop. And hey, he managed to take out Apollo Creed with it! That’s gotta be worth bonus points.

 

 

 

6. The Bride’s Blade
From: Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)

Question: How do you turn a hottie like Uma Thurman into the walking embodiment of death? Answer: This sword. Forged by legendary swordsman Hattori Hanzo (in the film, anyway), this weapon has the highest individual body count on this list. She takes down a whole army of Japanese bodyguards relatively unscathed and shed more blood in a few minutes than some entire TRILOGIES do. Truly impressive and a scary ass weapon, The Bride showed that with this thing, the girls can play with the boys too. And then decapitate them.

 

 

5. 44 Magnum
From: Dirty Harry (1971)

Something would have to be very, very wrong if Clint Eastwood were not on his list. Since his scowl is a little TOO deadly for this collection of weapons, we settled for the .44 Magnum. This pocket howitzer scores an 11 on the poop-your-pants meter and you’d count yourself lucky to see this and still be able to walk away. With an equally iconic quote to go with the weapon, this might be the scariest handgun to be seen on screen since pictures started moving. All together now! “Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya’, punk?”

4. The Terminator
From: The Terminator (1984)

The only weapon on this list that can walk on its own, the glowing red eyes and the shimmery skeletal structure launched this shiny death machine into iconic stardom. But even WITH skin on, he looked terrifying. This thing couldn’t be stopped by uzis, shotguns, pipe-bombs, car crashes or even an ENTIRE police department. Also that he’s a relentless, soulless and, in the beginning, pants-less killer helps. A firm believer in “actions speak louder than words”, Arnie’s most memorable role will always be the monosyllabic merchant of menace.

3. The Bull Whip
From: Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981)

Perhaps the least lethal weapon on this list, Indy’s trusty whip has gotten him out of many a tough spot. From swinging across crevices, flinging guns away in the sand and general whipping activities, this weapon has survived more than 30 years of cinema and that familiar cracking sound still brings chills to the spines of fanboys and terror to the hearts of baddies. Plus, he’s got an awesome theme song to swing/whip/hit to that you’re probably humming to yourself righhhhhhhtttttt… now.

 

2. M16/M203 Combo
From: Scarface (1983)

The only gun to be called a friend (and a little one, at that), this beauty of a beast helped Tony Montana go out with one hell of a bang. Everyone knows the scene: THAT office. THOSE guys. THAT accent. And of course, THAT gun. Certainly not the bloodiest weapon on this list, it’s not the body count but the way it was used. The defiance and the absolute bad-assery involved immortalized this gun on the walls of every college dorm from Miami to New York. You just can’t get rid of it. It’s like a cockroach.

1. The Lightsaber
From: Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1979)

I know, I know: TWO George Lucas weapons on the same list? What can we say? The man knows (knew?) his stuff. And let’s be honest, was there every any doubt? It’s a laser sword! It can cut through ANYTHING! Droids? Blast doors? Ben Kenobi? Like a knife through butter. Literally. Best of all, as shown in the newer trilogy, they can be whatever color you want. Blue? Green? Red? Purple? Whatever you like. The lightsaber is about as iconic a movie weapon as you will ever see.

 

Bonus: Bruce Lee
From: Everything he’s ever done.

Seriously? You need an explanation?
