The Last Stand | comment |
The Last Stand is a 2013 action film centering around Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), a third generation cartel leader, who makes a spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy.Cortez is hurtling toward the Mexican border at 200 mph in a specially outfitted car, a Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1, with a hostage and a fierce army of gang members. The only thing in his path is a small town and its sheriff, a former LAPD officer named Ray Owens (Arnold Schwarzenegger), and a couple of his deputies.This film marks Arnold Schwarzenegger's first leading role since Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in 2003, and him working with famed director, Kim Ji-woon. Despite this, the film barely made over its budget at the box office leading to questions about Schwarzenegger's box office drawing power in his post-political and post-divorce career. | |

Actor Allusion: Agent Bannister refers to the Corvette as a Batmobile. Arnie would know.

Johnny Knoxville's character climbs a telephone pole that soon falls over, among other antics. | |

New Old West: Machine-guns and rocket launchers and cell phones and souped-up cars aside, this is a tale about a sheriff going to war to fend off the oncoming better-armed criminal horde on a Run for the Border. Burrel even shows a preference for walking around acting like a gunslinger with old-school Hand Cannon six-shooters that make up with killing power their impracticality next to a semi-automatic. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Played for Laughs. The knitting granny Mrs. Salazar tells a Mook stalking Owens through her shop, "No trespassing!" He just blows her off, so she responds by blowing him away. It's clear she did it for more than that reason, of course, but the Mood Whiplash is what sells the scene. The reaction of the mayor to seeing his wrecked Corvette and Owens' one-liner pretty much screams he believes this happened to him. | |

The Last Stand / int_573e6dbd | comment |
Finally, Dinkum has a Vickers machine gun which is supposed to be non-functional, but has all the parts available to repair it, which he implies would be illegal. This is true, but if Dinkum were as big a gun nut as the film presents him as, he could just get a Class-III license from BATFE and take the Vickers, the Tommy Gun, and whatever other fully-automatic weapons he may or may not have to the range whenever he wants. If he can afford all the other stuff in his garage and still pay to keep the lights on, the fee for the Class-III license should be no big deal. | |

Parking Payback: The set-up is pretty long, as in movie-long: in the first scene, the town's mayor leaves his cool new Camaro parked by a fire hydrant and he dismisses Owens' warning by telling him nothing is going to happen and even tossing Owens the keys before leaving with the football team. In the very last scene, after all of the mayhem has ended, he and the football team return to town to see it full of Feds, dead bodies, gun damage, and the Camaro completely wrecked thanks to Owens using it in the final car chase. The mayor freaks out. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
The Last Stand / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Cortez carries a SIG-Sauer P229 early in the film (this is noticeable because Cortez is the only character in the film to have a P229), and uses it to kill an FBI agent. When confronted by Owens on the bridge, one would expect Cortez to just pull out his pistol and shoot Owens, but the gun is never seen again. Considering he just got into a severe wreck, that totaled his car and left him dazed, it's not hard to believe he lost it at some point. | |

There Is No Kill Like Overkill | |
The Last Stand / int_8b606a51 | comment |
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: A few examples include Frank shooting a Mook 13 times at close range and Owens tackling a Mook off the roof of a building and putting a point-blank bullet in his head while both are still falling. Using a Carl Gustav recoilless rifle on unarmored cars is pretty much overkill and a waste of good ammunition... But then again, it was used by the bad guys. | |

Crazy Enough to Work | |
The Last Stand / int_8f9f71a8 | comment |
Crazy Enough to Work: Cortez' plan to cross the border into Mexico is to have his soldiers take over a town in the middle of nowhere and build a Bailey bridge over a small canyon that works as a natural limit for him to race over with his "Batmobile". It is so nuts that by the time Bannister finally figures out that, no, Cortez isn't going for any of the standard points to cross the border, he is worried that there is nothing the Federals can send that will intercept Cortez in time. Enter Sheriff Owens... | |

Hand Cannon | |
The Last Stand / int_9cde2df1 | comment |
Hand Cannon: Lewis Dinkum's Smith and Wesson M500 revolver; he deems himself the only one able to hold and use it. Considering that Jerry nearly breaks his nose from the recoil firing it and then scares everyone else by blindly waving around it in a daze, you can see his point. Of course, he doesn't mind the sheriff using it. Burrel's Colt Dragoon revolver also counts. | |

The Last Stand / int_a60e3252 | comment |
Dinkum owns a non-functional Vickers machine gun, but has hunted down all the necessary parts to repair it. But as long as they're not actually in the gun, he can't be charged with owning a machine gun. There is actually a legal means to own and fire such weapons: a BATFE Class-III license for "destructive devices," but that wouldn't be as funny. | |

Juggling Loaded Guns: Jerry tries out Dinkum's Hand Cannon, underestimating its severe recoil. Following a very painful smack into his nose and an ensuing negligent discharge (very Truth in Television if you lose control of such a gun), Dinkum and Mike have to try to get it out of his hands as he stumbles around in pain waving the gun in every direction. | |

Loophole Abuse: Dinkum owns a not-insignificant arsenal of guns and ammunition under the allegedly-shakeynote See the Artistic License – Law entry above legal premise that he runs a museum. It's implied Owens lets him get away with it because Dinkum is a harmless kook. Dinkum owns a non-functional Vickers machine gun, but has hunted down all the necessary parts to repair it. But as long as they're not actually in the gun, he can't be charged with owning a machine gun.

Enter Frank, an ex-Marine with a drinking issue, who wants to help avenge his friend, and Dinkum, who owns a museum of obsolete, yet functional, firearms, who wants to carry his favorite gun. Ray ends up deputizing them, and using Dinkum's armory. | |

The Last Stand / int_ca3a6dbd | comment |
Informed Ability: Cortez's car, a 2011 Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1, is stated to be a heavily modified show car with 1000 horsepower. However, it was never shown to be extraordinarily fast. Most notable is during the car chase scene, in which a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro SS ZL1 was able to catch up to Cortez's ZR1, despite the fact that even a standard ZR1 (which has 638 horsepower) has superior accelerationnote Acceleration of a 2011 Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1: 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 9.7 seconds, and 0-300 km/h 29.1 seconds. Acceleration of a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1: 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 13.1 seconds, and 0-300 km/h in 83.5 seconds. and top speednote Top speed of a 2011 Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1: 338 km/h, or 210 mph. Top speed of a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1: 307 km/h, or 191 mph. compared to a ZL1 (let alone a customized, 1000 horsepower ZR1). This is noteworthy because after Cortez notices from the GPS that he's very close to Mexico, he pushes the ZR1 to its limit, in which case he should have easily outrun the ZL1. Then again, nothing's stopping the mayor from customizing his car, so maybe the ZL1 has also been turbocharged. | |
