Fantasy Weapons?

Here's a list of what I think are the top three fantasy weapons (ie only exist in films) in order:

1) Light Sabre
2) Auto Aiming Smart Gun (that Vasquez uses in Aliens)
3) Rapid Fire Laser Gun (Ones that the metal Terminators use in the Future scenes in T2)

(the 'Eraser' gun came a close fourth).

Missed any out?

Cool

IMIPAK From Blake’s 7 shoots an un-noticeable spot on the victim and cannot be removed even if they knew it was there, then at when a button is pressed anytime in the future they are dead no matter where in the universe.

Cool

Wasn’t there some guided bullets in the film Runaway? You locked your gun on a person then fired and even if that person ducked for cover the bullet still tracked you.

Also a similar one in X Change?? you plant a very small homer on a person and a missile tracks the target and fires a exploding shoot at the victim.

I want the Ring of the Schwartz. Beats a lightsaber anyday

That or a boom stick (12-gauge double-barreled Remington with a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger).

An AT&T walker.
Mad Max's Interceptor (Probably in MM2 spec with the long range tanks).
Big O (Not a film as such but a 120ft tall killer Robot would be handy).

I'm sure I could find a use for an army of Sentinels.

(Not in the X-Men films yet but should be familiar to anyone even vaguely interested in the comics).

As a supply of scrap metal perhaps? They seem to fall apart at the slightest hint of opposition.

I suppose, but they seem to cause a lot of structural damage.

I'll narrow it down to the ones from X-Men Evolution then which are awesome.

A couple of Austin's FemBots would be nice. Useful for when you are fighting an enemy, extremely handy when you're not!

Some of us don't need the help of such meagre tools. Now if only I could work my brain's powers of loss on other people...

Oh, n' one o' them Blakes 7 doohickeys. As you'll have guessed, I've forgotten all the show's delights but promise of this saccharin (Imipak) is no less sweet <strokes fluffy cat>
