Weapons of mass destruction

Here are my favourite iconic weapons/tools of mass destruction from movies:




1. Freddy Krueger's glove



This is one of the most recognisable trademarks of the nightmarish Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund). With claws that are equally as sharp as his wit, Freddy is everyone's worst nightmare - literally. Don't fall asleep.



2. Jason Voorhee's machette.



Jason is a man of few words, in fact he doesnt speak at all. But he still manages to be scary with his hockey mask and his machette.



3. Leatherface's chainsaw.



Leatherface has his trusty chainsaw when he needs to kill a few hapless victims or more. He grunts as he makes quick work of his victims.



4. Jack Torrance's axe.



All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Jack Nicholson goes absolutely axe crazy as Jack Torrance in The Shining - uttering the famous adlibed line "heeeeere's johnny!".



5. Norman Bate's kitchen knife.



Everyone's favourite nerdy serial killer wields this knife. Look out for him.



6. The microwave from the movie Gremlins



This simple household appliance is guranteed to make any gremlin go SPLAT in no time.



7. Sweeney Todd's razor.



You wouldn't want to get your haircut by the demon barber - most people who do usually lose their heads.



8. All of the weapons in Van Helsing's arsenal



Hugh Jackman is the man when it comes to fighting monsters, as the title character in the movie Van Helsing - he has an amazing arsenal of weapons that he uses to slay monsters.



9. Ash's chainsaw hand and boomstick.





Bruce Campbell is the one guy who is more badass than Chuck Norris. He's played quite a few roles in movies but most fans will tell you that his most famous one is of Ash in the Evil Dead films. As Ash, Bruce is a badass slayer of the undead. He is considered a GOD by his many fans and admirers.



And..



10. Uncle Buck's drill and hatchet.





Ever hear of a ritual killing? Just when you think that there's no one who is as badass as Chuck Norris and Bruce Campbell - along comes the most unlikely one of them all - and his name is John Candy. Now some of you might be thinking..."But how can John Candy be badass and dangerous? He's just so big and cuddly!". Sure he seems like the kind of guy you would want as a dad, best friend or uncle.. but there is more to ol Uncle Buck than meets the eye. He gets several moments of awesome and badass in the film including when he gives the school principal a rather stern talking too, as well as the scene where he punches a clown in the face. Buck is a force to be recconed with, and can be pretty badass especially when pretending to be menacing. When he opens the door at the party with that drill...that's his defining moment of badass right there. Don't mess with the John Candyman. How badass is he? Buck is so badass that on Youtube someone posted a version of the trailer from the movie and edited to make it look like a horror movie.
