| | | | In Shoot Em Up when Clive Owen bangs his prostitute girlfriend, about 50 gunmen show up. While continuing to "have relations" he kills everyone of them. After shooting the last gunmen in the face he says "Talk about blowing your load.". Amazing.... |

That's house of the dead. I haven't seen the movie but this action scene is just too funny. Notice the unnecessary slow motion. The guns also change from pistols to shotguns(vice versa) whenever there's a closeup. |

Now excuse me while I go to Wikipedia to look up the plot of the movie.
Edit: Holy crap! This movie is even more ridiculous than I thought!

The "Yo Homie is that my briefcase" scene from Collateral is also great. Nice, smooth, draw  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmKR6evZRQQ

anytime the GE mini-Gun is in film I'm down.
Would this be the winner of most lead used in one scene?
