THE WEAPONS
The first movie
had some really hardcore "nasties" wielded by various gangs and The Man.
The loveliest ones are listed here.
Motorbike Front Fork Blades
For those of us who live in
London these would be a real treat
in the poxy Congestion Zone. Wielded by Paul
during the opening
scrap to take out two rather cowardly zombies.
Spiked Elbow Pad
Trash's chosen fashion statement that brings new meaning to the phrase "get your elbows off the table!".
Riders' Fight Stick
I'd love to know the mail order firm this
gang subscribes to. Nasty,
pointy and apparently heavy bit of weaponry that looks sooo
cool as they slowly withdraw them from behind the
motorbike saddle with a
grating "chiiing!".
Retractable Boot Knife
Originally the assassin's weapon of choice
in a certain Connery
Bond film, this puts paid to Hotdog's bellyaching.
Finger Claws
Witch sports these on her dainty little
digits and uses
them well when eviscerating The Scavengers.
Knuckle Duster Knife
Looks
a bit evil
(even if this person is wearing it on the wrong hand).
Sported by Speedy as he challenges
Hammer.
Hockey Stick
Well what can you
say? The Zombies' choice of duelling instrument
but they prove as effective as a paper hat in a rainstorm.
Bit of Wood
The less said the better. Wielded by the
cackling
Scavengers, but they do put paid to Hawk with a few
(maybe they thought
he was a pin cushion).
Sword Stick
Two weapons for the price of one. Ogre's
cane can be used for
bludgeoning one's enemies or the sword can be swiftly
withdrawn for some bloodless beheading action.
Concealed Shotgun
Not strictly speaking a very inventive
weapon but bonus
points for being sneaky enough to hide it in a Mail tube.
Harpoon Gun
Used by Trash in the requisite
"whoops, my shirt fell
off" scene to get
well-deserved revenge on
Hammer (who finds it a bit of a drag).
