#WaltherP38

While being a film from a time before “The Rock” really became “The Rock”, the movie The Rundown seems to have been largely forgotten however I think it’s a movie with some pretty interesting firearms and firearm manipulation. I’m not aware of any other film where the protagonist tears up a town of henchmen with akimbo pump-action shotguns.

For those of you who grew up in the 80s, you may remember the iconic villain from the Transformers TV show, Megatron. Megatron’s design was originally from a japanese toy line that predates the Transformers cartoon in America. Takara, before they merged to form Takaratomy, made a line of transforming toys. All the car robots like Optimus Prime and the rest came from Diaclone. Megatron came from the Microman series of toys. The premise was every day objects that would change into spy robots.
