10 Most Intense Shootouts In Movie History

4. Django Unchained - Candyland

Desperado shootout

The bodies had already started to pile up in Django Unchained by the time Schultz couldn't resist and shot Calvin in the heart. Up to that point, the kills were mostly assassinations and not true depictions of a gunfight. After Calvin's death, Django gets to fighting in a most impressive way.

As he makes his way through Candyland, he took on every bad guy in the place with little more than a six-shooter. Multiple kills rack up as he made his way towards the entrance, which opened to reveal half-a-dozen bad guys who almost immediately succumb to Django's bullets.

More bad guys show up to find themselves introduced to Django's gunfire as more blood flies from bodies than you might see in any non-horror/slasher film. Eventually, Django is captured, but he finds his way back to Candyland a little later.

The second gunfight in Candyland is more of a direct massacre than anything else. In the first fight, 19 people are killed while only 5 die in the second. Overall, the fights at Candyland were bloody and brutal in a way Hollywood hadn't attempted in decades.
