Weapons of Mass Awesomeness

I’ve been watching some fantasy movies of late, and all of the sword play has got me thinking about the best movie weapons of all time. Form a queue ladies, you know you want to. Anyway, there were so many weapons to choose from; Indiana Jones’ whip, Gandalf’s blade Glamdring, Frodo’s Sting, Freddy’s finger razors, the proton packs the Ghostbusters used, any gun Grieco has held. The list goes on and on. After a long night of deep thought and “Miami Vice” reruns I chose the three weapons that I believe stand out above all others. Here they are in no particular order. If you have your own favorites, please let me know.

The Lightsaber (Star Wars Episodes I-VI): Let’s just get it out of the way. It’s one of the coolest things ever. Whether you’re into the crazy double-sided Maul design or you’re a purist, the lightsaber is kickass. Give me a lightsaber and a hover board and I’m calling it a day.

The Glave (Krull): This multi-sided star-type weapon with claw-like hooks on the end works as a blade, a boomerang, and a destroyer of all Evil. If you haven’t seen Krull and dreamed of holding the Glave in your hand... you probably have a girlfriend.

Rob Lowe’s Smile (Class, St. Elmo’s Fire, About Last Night, The Outsiders, Youngblood, Atomic Train, Man he’s damn handsome, et al.): It slays my tears.
