'''''Mean Guns''''' is a 1997 action film starring [[Christopher Lambert]] and Ice-T as [[Awesome McCoolname|Vincent Moon]], a charismatic crime lord who traps the 100 greatest killers (along with some [[Wrong Time Wrong Place|random people]]) who betrayed or failed the syndicate to battle each other in a prison that opens on the next day. Moon dumps weapons and ammo into the crowd and gives them six hours to fight it out before his men move in and kill everyone. The last three survivors will walk out with their lives and split $10 million.
Directed by [[Albert Pyun]], this little movie gained a cult following (especially in USA, Russia and Ukraine) for its unusual style and storytelling as well as its multi-layered plot.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: D
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Vincent Moon.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Christopher Lambert gives us a rare example of this in his filmography as Lou, one of the movie heroes.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Lou, Marcus and D.
* [[Badass Long Hair]]: Vincent Moon.
* [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]]: Vincent Moon, while killing one of the mobsters just to prove to himself that he still can do this.
* [[Cult Soundtrack]]: As was mentioned, EVERY song in this movie is awesome, so for fans it's a tragedy that there was no soundtrack CD released.
* [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]: {{spoiler|Lou, Marcus, Moon and Bob.}}
Line 20:
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Lou, Crow and Hoss, as well as Bob, both with pistols and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|with shotguns]].
* [[Heroic Bloodshed]]
* [[Hitman
* [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game]]: Very close.
* [[Hey,
** Not to mention that ''most'' of the actors were featured in other Albert Pyun movies, so [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|can be easily recognised by his fans]].
* [[The Killer Becomes the Killed]]
* [[Kill Them All]]: Even said literally by Lou: "We've got to kill them all!".
* [[MacGuffin]]: What crime committed by The Syndicate do photos sent to Cam by {{spoiler|Bob}} depict?
* [[Made of Explodium]]: Unusual among Albert Pyun's movies; it's subverted when {{spoiler|it turns out that one of cases containd bomb and not the money. Explosion only causes damage in the small territory, killing one person, who was carrying it}}.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]
* [[Shout
** Also Hoss screaming [[The Elephant Man|I'M NOT AN ANIMAL, I'M A HUMAN!!!]]
*** By the way nickname Hoss [[Bonanza|is also familiar]].
*** And one of the extras looks like Leon from ''[[Léon: The Professional]]''.
