Great Weapons of Cinema

Movies have brought us many great weapons. Who can forget when they first saw the famous light saber in action? Or when Conan first wielded that mighty sword to kill James Earl Jones? Or even when Scorpion yelled 'get over here' and tried to kill Johnny Cage with that flying blade?
But, aside from these famous moments, it has brought us some really curious ones. That is what I want to focus on here. This should be the first of many lessons in 'who the hell thought up this crazy thing' on the big screen.

Future Force
In this 'classic' film starring David Carradine, he is a C.O.P. who has to protect a reporter who knows too much. If only she could have known just enough! The villain sends a series of thugs to kill her, with no luck. Desperate, he sends out his biggest lackey to do the job: Mr. Clean! Okay, it's actually the guy who played 'Mr. Clean' in the live-action commercials from the 1960s.

At this point, the fight is not going Carradine's way, so he must utilize his secret weapon: the Hand. This miracle of series is super strong and works on a very unique remote control. Enough build-up, let's watch...


Yeah. That's good stuff right there.

Stay tuned next time for crazy swords, questionable bombs and...a horse?
