That's the one!
That movie woulda been thirty minutes long. And that's just because of opening dialogue.

Duel
The 1971 made for TV movie staring Dennis Weaver.
It is the story of a frightened salesman going across the desert being terrorized by an un-seen deiver in a big rusty tanker truck.

Hmmm... With all these movies that would have been shorter, or no movie at all,had the chars been packing it occurs to me that if everyone in real life was packing the world might acually be a dull place!
Think about it, who would the whackos go after if there were no unarmed victims?

Well, if more people had been packing, and if they would have been packing more than one reload: The Mist
:lol:
Ok, a lot more people packing... guns chambered in high-powered calibers... maybe it could have been a little shorter... :?

My ex-wife got me to watch that once. It was actually pretty enjoyable, with one exception. As soon as you hear the phrase "Rolf, write me a telegram", hit the skip button as fast as possible if you want to avoid getting nauseous.
As far as horror flicks go, Ihaven't been able tostand watching anything that doesn't have a supernatural element to it since I became a gun owner. Guns aren't going to stop whatever that thing was in the Grudge.
Granted, I don't see the Halloween and Friday the 13th films as things that could have been ended faster by a gun. Mike Myers and Jason Vorhees suffered much worse than gunfire in those films and kept on going. House of Wax would have definitely been a lot shorter with guns though. BTW, House of Wax is worth watching, simply because you get to see Paris Hilton killed.

The entire Batman series - if Bruce Wayne's daddy had been packing, instead of becoming Batman, Bruce Wayne would have just been another wealthy businessman and the Joker would have been in jail or dead before becoming the Joker. And the movie would have been about 3 minutes long:
Joker: Give me your money.
Wayne: Ok, don't hurt us, here ya go.
Joker: Ever dance with the devil in the...
Wayne: BANGBANGBANG
Joker: aaahhhh, oouuccchhh
Wayne: Yeah, that's what you get. Let's go call the police family.
Ending credits.

LMAO! Yes! In my case it is called LMN on direct tv- lifetime movie network, but all those sappy women in trouble movies nonetheless. The "best" I have seen so far was the 2 southern women kidnapped by the creep, raped and then 1 killed, the other left for dead. Then the creep gets out of jail later and stalks the 1 lady over and over, but no one ever has a gun. It would have all ended much faster had 1 of the ladies been packing at the beginning when the guy came to abduct them at knifepoint and forced them into the trunk of the car. Not sure, but this movie may have even been based a real event!
The one movie I saw on there thatI was cheering over was this one with a kid who shot and killed 2 of 3 guys who had broken into the house when his parents weren't there. He became a local hero. But the 3rd guy and this guy in jail plotted revenge and when the jailed guy got out, they went after the family. The mom runs out gun in hand when the son runs out yelling at the 2 criminals ( unarmed-geeze), but she doesn't shoot the bad guys even though they were clearly a threat ( trying to run her son over). The ending was LAME.
Brave One would have ended very fast had Jody Foster and the Iraqi from Lost had been packing when walking the dog. As soon as those assholes came out threatening them- bang bang bang bang bang- movie over. But it was in NYC- so ya know the real deal... ( hey I still enjoyed the movie, watching her shoot those assholes later, then getting her dog back too)
Oh Death Wish would have ended real fast too had the mom been packing when those punks came in LMAO
