10 Movie Props You Won't Believe Were Re-Used In Other Films
6. Predator's Minigun - Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Nobody who's seen 1987's testosterone-fuelled action classic Predator can forget the comically macho "deforestation" sequence, where Mac (Bill Duke) panic-fires the team's gigantic Minigun, nicknamed "Old Painless", into the bushes in the hope of killing the Predator. To no avail, of course.
Similarly, you probably fondly remember the iconic set-piece in Terminator 2: Judgment Day where Arnie disables an entire fleet of cops - but doesn't kill anyone - by firing a Minigun at them.
And because these scenes just aren't awesome enough on their own, they both in fact share the same Minigun prop. Stembridge Gun Rentals supplied the weapons for both movies, and confirmed that it was indeed the very same M134 Minigun in both films.
For T2, though, Stembridge modified the Minigun slightly, removing the foregrip and re-arranging the carry handle, the differences of which are visible above.
