Great assassin movies wouldn't be much without the weapons and combat details that make them so tactical, explosive, and deadly. Some of the finer details can be tricky to spot, but thankfully fans online have done the sleuthing for us. For example, in John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, John does some expert maneuvering while fighting underwater by swimming out of range of his attacker's gunfire. Others are more subtle. In Pulp Fiction, hitman Vincent never turns on the safety of his gun, which (as anyone who has seen the film knows) doesn't work out too well for poor Marvin. There are even some details that are a bit more symbolic. In Kill Kill: Volume 2, even though The Bride doesn't kill Budd herself, a black mamba snake does-- "Black Mamba" is her nickname, for those keeping track of her kill count.
Check out this list of weapon and combat details fans spotted in assassin movies, and don't forget to vote up your favorites!
