Extended Disarming: Difference between revisions

Line 79:

* In the [[Michael Moore]] film ''[[Bowling for Columbine]]'', a clip from a metal detector manufacturer is shown arguing for the institution of a dress code in schools. To demonstrate how casual dress is dangerous, the sequence shows an adolescent boy pulling about half a dozen pistols out of his pockets and waistband, what looks like a MAC-11 submachine gun and its separate mag, and finally a ''shotgun'' that was in his pants. It's not clear how the kid could ''walk'' nonchalantly with a shotgun down the leg of his trousers.

* ''[[Ultraviolet (film)|Ultraviolet]]'': The heroine is scanned by a security system, which begins to show two ''very'' long rows of guns. It tries to give a count before finally giving up and saying: "... Many." Notable in that these guns were not actually ''removed'', so she quickly begins to put them to use.

* Parodied in ''[[Brain Donors]]'' when Jacques is required to empty his pockets in the police station. As this is an [[Homage]] to [[Marx Brothers|Harpo Marx]] and his bottomless pockets, it's less a display of weaponry than an exercise in general surrealism, ending when Jacques pulls out a rubber foot, looks surprised, looks down at his (off-screen) feet, and promptly falls over.

* ''[[The Big Easy]]'': While entering the police station, one of the plainclothes officers {{spoiler|who turns out to be the [[Big Bad]]}} is asked to remove all his weapons. Various pistols, a shotgun, a truncheon, and finally brass knuckles are removed. The officer in question remarks, "And if that don't work, I spit on 'em."
