Movies With Best Sounding Bullets or Gunfights?

[Hedji]

So, yeah, I like the visceral thrill of a good gunshot in my movies. Sometimes I'm in the mood to hear some cracking good gunfire.

What films would be in your top 3 or 5 as having the punchiest, sharpest, most thrilling gunfire sound effects?

I'll start with the one that probably can't be topped, Saving Private Ryan.

Yours?

John Wick

[Optimus]

Just off the top of my head

Black Hawk Down
We Were Soldiers
Enemy at the Gates

[Will.]

The Matrix is a classic example. I think Mad Max: Fury Road had very satisfying gunshot effects, especially in an Atmos setup. Same goes for John Wick.

Shoot 'Em Up
Desperado
The Matrix
John Wick
The Boondock Saints

I second Black Hawk Down, practically the whole freakin' thing
Saving Private Ryan
Band of Brothers and The Pacific have some good sounding gun fights.

I love the mix for Face/Off too, the PCM audio on the foreign Blu-rays is immense.

Yup!

The cannons in the tunnel on the Special Edition were awesome!

Yeah I would've mentioned BoB and the Pacific but since they're technically not movies I wasn't sure.

Hard Target
Lethal Weapon
Strange Days

if you like gunplay, the french do it way better than Americans in most cases.

Any of Olivier Megaton's movies

[BLUEGRASS]

The "best sounding bullets" are definitely the Toon Bullets in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? because they talk

[natethegreat123]

I love the sound of gunfire in tony scotts earlier movies True Romance, The Last Boyscout Revenge

[Doctor Jack]

The scene in Skyfall where Bond shoots the gun at the firing range during his evaluation sounds ridiculous. In a good way of course.

I always thought that the gunshots in the Indiana Jones movies were very distinctive.

I also remember that when I saw Air Force One (1997) in the theater, it sounded like the shell casings were actually hitting the floor in the theater.

That's another one I was wracking my brains trying to think of. Love the gunfire in that one , and the rest of the mix ain't so bad either! (Dat mid-air refueling explosion )

Another one I thought of is Rambo (the fourth one) Extended Cut, the range on that sucker is insane and the gunfire & explosions are incredibly dynamic.

Oh, it's only one scene but the final shootout in LA Confidential has been a demo favourite of mine for years.

[imsounoriginal]

Dark Knight, the scene when Bruce is testing the different caliber rounds on bricks, is definitely a good one.

Also, any of the Craig Bond movies.
