10 Movies That Wasted Their Best Weapon

Sometimes a weapon is so over-powered that it achieves glorious self-parody, and that's certainly true in Luc Besson's The Fifth Element.

The movie's weapon-to-end-all-weapons is the Zorg ZF-1, as is introduced to the audience by the film's ludicrously entertaining villain, Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg (Gary Oldman).

According to Zorg himself, the gun's features include a titanium recharger, a 3,000 round clip, a "replay" feature which allows you to home all bullets to a single location no matter where you fire, rocket, net, and arrow launchers (with poisonous gas tips), a flamethrower, an "ice cube system" to straight-up turn your enemies into popsicles, and a self-destruct mechanism (as the Mangalores learn to their cost).

Oh, and it's also undetectable by X-ray. Fancy that.

Besides his extravagant demonstration of the gun's features, it's barely used at all beyond Zorg firing some rounds at Leeloo (Milla Jovovich).

While the ZF-1 is obviously a bit of a joke, it sure would've been neat to see Zorg say, mow down like a room full of his enemies with it or something, right?
