    Movie Shout Outs - Who would defeat John Preston? - Responses

    It's Movie Shout Out Response Time!

    Yesterday's question was an interesting one and you all rose to the occasion with some fun responses.  It was:

     

    What character from any other movie could defeat John Preston and the 'Gun Kata' from Equilibrium?

     

    Now, this was a tough one because if you haven't seen Equilibrium it might be hard to truly understand the awesome-ness of the 'Gun Kata', but you guys didn't disappoint with some creative answers. 

    Check them out below:

    Batman could defeat Preston.

    Walter Sobchak from The Big Lebowksi, no competition!

    how about Dorian, from the movie The Mask, when he's wearing the mask in the nightclub, near the end?

    Um, Ting! Tony Jaa! Ong-bak!!!

    Jackie Chan in any of his early movies 'wheels on meals' etc could take anyone. And I don't think he'd provide much opposition to Michael myers

    RoboCop. He's bulletproof.

    John Travolta-Nicholas Cafe from Face/Off. The gunkata can be matched with John Woo's stylized gun-play.

    I’m thinking El Mariachi from Desperado.

    Black Dynamite! "DYNA-MITE! DYNA-MITE!!!"

    Zen from Chocolate.  She'd just watch John Preston and be able to imitate him then best him.

    Well shit. Tony B took mine. Crap. I was going to cheat for my back up, and go with someone like Magneto from X-Men, but it's just not really THAT interesting a match up. Instead I propose a three way match up between John Preston, Nicholas Angel from Hot Fuzz, and Leon The Professional. Yeah. Let's go with that...
