Improvised weaponry

So, I got done watching Shoot 'em Up today, and seeing Mr. Smith's various lethal applications of pointed orange vegtables, I began to wonder....what are the most memorable crazy improvized weapons you've seen or read about?

Hot Thai Chili peppers used to create a pepper spray that thai inmates incapacitated several guards with and escaped.

Also, that Log that guy used to kill that bear.

Jacky Chan is an improvised weapon of mass destruction. By his various movies and spin-off cartoon series he has used

A Ladder as a staff
Windshield wiper blades as tanto's
A cash register as both shield and mace
Big mouth bass as nunchucks
Curtain rods, drapes,a toilet seat cover, a washing machine box, live squirrel's ...
And many many more rather odd applications of everyday objects as lethal weapons.

I also recall him using antlers in one of his movies. He used a Sheriff's badge as a throwing star in Shanghai Noon. He tied a horseshoe to some rope in the same movie.

Too many from him to remember.

The stuff in Celebrity Deathmatch is often classic. If I remember correctly, they had a porn star once (Ron Jeremy, maybe?) that whipped out his dick and ran somebody through the head. Off-screen of course. That's the ultimate improvised weapon, I think.

There's the Star Trek : Original Series Kirk vrs Gorn cannon made from found materials.

In The Court of a Thousand Suns, Marr and Senn hotwire a sonic oven so that it fast-cooks a roomful of traitorous soldiers until they burst; pretty good for amateurs.

In The I Inside the protagonist uses a cop in power armor at the end of a cable to beat on another cop in power armor.

Fedmann Kassad. Such tiny surgical tools against Ousters in their gear. Poor bastards

Sammo Hung in Martial Law used a chalk duster to beat another cop senseless, and he didn't even hit him with the handle.

Kevyn of Schlock Mercenary has done some crazy things, turning a wormhole gate into a gravity pulse weapon is probably my favorite

In Ultimates 2, Hawkeye is kidnapped and strapped into a chair. After a couple days of torture, he kills all the guards in the room by flicking his fingernails out to cut their necks, then saves his last nail to force the final remaining guard to free him.

Ong Bak. During the foot chase scene, the fat guy picked up a few globs of hot curry and stuck it into the eyes of the bag guys.

Pretty much 90% of Bullseye's arsenal. Killing people with pens and playing cards.

In the latest chapter of Shroom Man 777's Dino Eater he downs an enemy by throwing a poison frog into his mouth.

Kirika Yuumura of Noir and her varied arsenal...

Some guy come up behind her and tries to strangle her with a wire.... she grabs his glasses, breaks them, and then shoves a broken handle of the glasses into him at some weak point, killing him. it's off screen, but i'd guess the handle went either up the nose into the brain, or through the eye into the brain. She later also kills someone by slashing his throat with a student ID card.

Now that's badass.

And that's not even mentioning the popcorn scene.

Jason Bourne's Bic pen and rolled up magazine.

Sure, he didn't actually kill anybody with them, but he still outfought a guy with a knife attached to his arm and another dude with a kitchen knife using nothing but the above.

The A-Team. Pick an episode.

The Grim Squeaker · Post by **The Grim Squeaker** » 2007-09-24 12:58am

Rincewind and a sock. Considering that he took out one of the most powerful beings in existence with it (After said Sourceror had just finished putting all of the gods into a small bottle), that's pretty good

.

Dr Who. Again, pick an episode

. (The man can make a SEP field out of a bloody keychain

).

From Known space, there's the various reaction drives of the "unarmed" humans that taught the Kzinti the Kzinti Lesson.

Real life? IEDs. Easy to make, common as hell, and are the bane of Western and Israeli troops in the Middle East. If those aren't improvised, I don't know what else is.

In fiction... I don't know. Chairs? Hell, in Bourne Identity, the dude used a pen to stab someone in the hand.

I see improvised as either something that no industrial culture would produce (IEDs, for example), or any damn thing in your vicinity.

That would be strategically placed squirrel armor.

The antlers were also from Shanghai Noon; they were mounted on a wall during a bar fight. Oddly enough, that was also the only time I've seen someone effectively use a bat'leth type weapon...

Just remembered a few others. Billiard ball in a bar towel, demonstrated by Steven Seagal in "Out for Justice", also the soap in a sock seen in "Full Metal Jacket". Also the pop can in a sack used by Sean Penn in some movie I can't remember.
