RobMoore Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I'm looking for movie scenes that would make good IDPA stages. I want to design a match totally out of movie scenes. I'll start you off with some examples. 1. Collateral - Alley scene. Start hands at surrender, draw and shoot 2 @ T1 from retention, Mozambique T2, finish T1A (laying on ground) off with a headshot. 2. Unforgiven - Final scene. Beginning with "shotgun" in both hands, aimed in on T1, throw shotgun at start signal, draw, and engage T1-ect 3. Sudden Impact - Coffee Shop. Begin with coffee cup in weak hand, at signal drop it and engage t1-ect 4. Spartan - Rescue out on the street- Begin with MP5 in hands, at signal transition to pistol, engage...ect...pick up dummy, carry to P3 while engaging .....ect So, anyone got ideas for me?

freeidaho Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Anyone a Dirty Harry fan? There were several that might make good stages. Airliner, Bank Robbery, etc. kr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranDoc Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I have a stage entitled "Say Goodbye, Mr. Bond" -- typical Bond escape-from-the-bad-guys chase scene (The Roger Moore era). It uses a couple of club-specific props like our shaky bridge & teeter-totter. If interested, PM me with your email address and I'll send along the file (.doc format).

outerlimits Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 the final scene in taxi driver-when de niro goes into the pimp's hotel. of course, you'd need a flight of stairs and a knife for the props. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L-10_shooter Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 What a good idea, We have a swinging/looping prop that would be like shooting at an "agent" from the matrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMoore Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 This is one from "Open Range" I came up with, based off the start of the final gunfight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coframer Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 What about the new Rambo movie? The boat scene at night. Rambo draws and takes down 5 bad guys! Pretty good scene. Quick. The Quick and The Dead with Gene Hackman. Could set up a small stage for a draw fight. One shot on the draw. Would be fun. Pretty much any scene from any Die Hard movie kicks b.

jmorris Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I’m not known to be real big on scenarios so if I did one from a movie it would be the “You shot him in the back!” “His back was too me.” Seen from El Diablo. Should make for a fast stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Boudrie Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Buck and the Preacher. I don't remember the specific scenarios, but anything where the starting position is holding a hollowed out bible containing a gun would qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

open17 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 The Cowboys Just so I could use all or at least the last line of this quote: Jebediah Nightlinger: [praying to God before he's about to hanged by Asa Watts and his gang] I regret trifling with married women. I'm thoroughly ashamed at cheating at cards. I deplore my occasional departures from the truth. Forgive me for taking your name in vain, my Saturday drunkenness, my Sunday sloth. Above all, forgive me for the men I've killed in anger ... and those I am about to. Start position: Sitting on a horse with a noose around your neck?

IC_Cyclone Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 (edited) Lethal Weapon: Starting with your hands in ropes above your head, doused with water. At the signal RO takes two electrodes and...take it as far as you want with regard to water and electrodes. Anything from this point through the nightclub...high round count For the single stacks....We Were Soldiers: Sam Elliot scene strong hand only with movers and poppers. Or Saving Pvt Ryan...sitting on ground leaning against disabled motorcycle engage targets strong hand only. (might sweep legs and feet with this one, though) Quigley Down Under: Three paper targets. At signal shooter must loudly state "This ain't Dodge City. And you ain't Bill Hickok" prior to engaging targets with two rounds each virginia count. After last shot shooter must loudly state " I said I never had much use for one. Never said I didn't know how to use it." or receive one procedural penalty.

Chris iliff Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I always thought the running gun battle in the movie "HEAT" after the bank job, was one of the best in any movie. Guys where hauling money, shooting, and taking cover efficiently. Man I liked that scene. Crap, now I'm gonna have to dig that out and rewatch it. I know there is a stage idea in that.

JakeMartens Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Collateral, the shoot out at the Asain Bar or Miami Vice(movie), the shoot out at the trailer, or the the big one at the end How about the Patroit where Mel Gibson is running from tree cover to tree cover, have the shooter start with one round in the gun and has to run to the next "tree" to load having only one round in the mag..... call it "aim small, miss small" Marked for Death, Segal is shooting it out with the Jamicans at the department store.....of course you probably don't want to shoot to slide lock and just throw it down and draw another one....

RobMoore Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 The Quick and The Dead with Gene Hackman. Could set up a small stage for a draw fight. One shot on the draw. Would be fun. Funny you should mention that. I set up a stage at 30 yards against a single popper called "The quick and the dead". I've got a full set of 8 stages all set for a spring trophy match, if the host range agrees. I could always use more, for spares or a second match. Right now I have 1. "Spartan" alley rescue scene (MP5 goes down, transition) 2. "The Quick and the dead" 3. "Collateral" yo, homie, that's my briefcase. 4. "Platoon" Tunnel rat scene with Willem Dafoe. I have a 4"x4" (not practical to go smaller for many reasons) tunnel for shooters to traverse with places to pop up and shoot from into other "rooms", ect) 5. "Unforgiven" Click, misfire, throw shotgun, blast away with pistol 6. "Dirty Harry/Sudden Impact" Loretta here put sugar in my Coffee 7. "Snatch" Tony's Desert Eagle Point 5 O can shoot through walls 8. "Open Range" You the one that killed our friend.....gunfight ensues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojave Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 For the single stacks....We Were Soldiers: Sam Elliot scene strong hand only with movers and poppers. Or Saving Pvt Ryan...sitting on ground leaning against disabled motorcycle engage targets strong hand only. (might sweep legs and feet with this one, though) Sam's scene in "We Were Soldiers" was pretty hardcore. I don't know if I believe the movie representation, but it would make a great (and challenging) COF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Lord Gomer Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Jack Suber's "I Am Legend" stage at the SC State USPSA match last year had us start with the dog leash in hand before shooting all of the zombies. Anyone have a pic of the mural he did for that stage? It was incredible! Edited April 7, 2010 by High Lord Gomer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainmcphersn Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Not a movie but the first episode of "Justified", seated across the table from bad guy. On signal, draw and fire one round COM. "Quigley Down Under" at the end of the movie Standing, hands at side, one shot each on 3 bad guys. "True Lies" toward the end end as the "cameraman" Drop "camera", draw and fire head shots on three (?) bad guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahab Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 The bridge scene in Blood Diamond would make a good IDPA stage. Engage T1 and T2 with one shot each, then while advancing engage T1A and T2A with one shot each (TxA targets are semi-horizontal). At P2 engage mover as it runs away with a minimum of 2 rounds.
