10 Most Intense Shootouts In Movie History
3. Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid's Blaze Of Glory
By the time Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid comes close to its conclusion, the titular characters are in a bit of a pickle. As they are slowly surrounded and being fired upon from multiple locations, they find themselves in a no-win situation.
Despite this, they make their way through the fight, scrounging bullets and returning fire so they can kill 19 of the men trying to take them out. They don't get by unscathed though... there are just too many bullets flying through the air at this point.
As they take round after round, they find themselves huddled inside a small building where it becomes clear they aren't getting out of this one. Not this time.
Just when it looks like the audience is going to have to watch these two gunned down and killed on screen, director George Roy Hill stops the film on a still image of the two as they storm out of the building to face their certain deaths. That image became an iconic representation of the characters who went out in a blaze of glory.
