10 Craziest Horror Movie Weapons (And Their Best Kill)

9. Machine Gun Leg - Grindhouse: Planet Terror

Planet Terror
Dimension Films

From the innocuous to the outright ridiculous, this weapon levels the whole thing up times 100. Can you really get more badass than a machine gun shoved into Rose McGowan's severed leg? I don't think so, and Planet Terror's playground of zombie action that she unleashes this bad boy on only serves to make it that much more fantastic.

This weapon is shoehorned - if you'll pardon the pun - into Robert Rodriguez's version of exploitation pushed to its limit, where a strange gas is unleashed over a town that turns them into hungry, hungry flesh-eating monsters. When McGowan's Cherry has her leg chewed off and is left unable to pursue stand up comedy, ha, she's offered an alternative to the classic peg leg in a grenade launching, bullet spewing weapon of destruction slotted right into her thigh hole. Well, that's something.

The best kill is actually a whole bunch of them, as Cherry is launched into the sky via her own explosion to perform what can only be described as a murderous dance routine. Thank you Rodriguez for this gift.
