Guns in Church: Difference between revisions

'''B''': And these are holy guns. Because [[Incredibly Lame Pun|they make a rather large hole-y]].|''[[Jackie Chan]]'s First Strike''}}

 

* Used twice in the 3rd ''[[Dirty Harry]]'' movie ''[[The Enforcer]]''. First he chases a suspect into a church and has him at gunpoint when the minister gets pissed (then his partner kicks the door open with her gun drawn). Later he returns to the church to question the minister about someone in connection to the kidnapping (and potential murder) of the mayor and ends up drawing his gun when the minister refuses to talk. As Harry is dealing with that a woman dressed as a nun tries to shoot him with a shotgun, only for Harry's partner to show up and shoot the nun.

* Spoofed in [[Spy Hard]], when Leslie Nielson's character sneaks into a church to rescue a girl, he has to deal with a bunch of violence-prone nuns, ending with nuns ''brandishing machine guns'' and trying to shoot at them!

* In ''[[Unforgiven]]'' sheriff Little Bill is deadly serious about his 'no guns in town' policy so any time a stranger in town is seen carrying any weapon, even holstered, it means big trouble. Either, the stranger is about to shoot people or Little Bill is going to beat him into a bloody pulp.

* Used for a joke early in [[Man Of The House]]. When Texas Ranger Sharp and his partner go to a church to get information from an ex-con turned minister, Sharp keeps his gun with him. When reminded by his partner that they're entering a church, Sharp replies, "that's why I didn't bring the helicopter".
