Watch: Supercut of Improbable Weapons Used in Action Movies
One of the criteria I use to judge whether an action movies is successful is whether it pushes the boundaries and tries to do something we haven't seen before. That doesn't automatically mean that the film will be good, of course, but if it accomplishes that feat, at least it'll probably be memorable.
The team at Burger Fiction has put together a supercut of improbable weapons used in action movies, and when I heard about this list, the hose Jason Statham uses to dispatch his enemeies in Transporter 2 immediately came to mind. I was glad to see that make the cut, and in fact Statham makes multiple appearances in this supercut, reminding me that I need to go rewatch the first two movies in that franchise again.
