10 Most Ridiculous Weapons Used In Action Movies
4. The Sick Stick - Minority Report
The only weapon on this list that, despite its inherent ridiculousness, would still actually be an effective tool in real life.
The sick stick is the ultimate replacement for the taser in the future portrayed in the Spielberg sci-fi thriller Minority Report. We've seen people manage to shake off being tasered, even multiple times, but the sick stick takes a rather... different approach, by making the target's very body turn on them.
And this is where the sick stick ends up on the list, because its means of taking down a perp involves hitting them with the stick, which then makes them puke out their last 4 meals onto the floor. While not a wholly ineffective weapon, certainly more guaranteed stopping power than a taser in many respects, the fact that this means that people puking up their guts on the street of this otherwise immaculate and sanitized future world is a common occurrence is so funny on so many levels it's hard to know where to even begin.
Definitely a cool idea for a non lethal means of subduing a criminal, but a ridiculous one all the same.
