Screenplay for the opening scene of Bond 24 (Skyfall is already in post-production).
James Bond is chasing a villain. Draws his gun to aim for a long range shot. (Gun has a little green LED on the side)
Out of the side lunges a henchman who engages Bond in hand to hand combat. The gun goes skidding away.
Henchman wins combat over Bond and runs to the gun. It appears Bond is done for. Henchman draws gun. The LED is red, but the henchman doesn't notice.

Henchman thinks the gun is out of bullets and flings it at Bond as a projectile and runs at him to reengage hand-to-hand combat.
Bond deftly catches the gun. He draws it. The LED is green.
Cue gunbarrel sequence.

- YmMot 14y agoThat idea and even the scenario you describe has actually been used numerous times in action movies (though admittedly usually using a different principle like fingerprint reading), including the James Bond franchise. For example, in License To Kill Q invents a gun with a palm reader that can only be fired by the person programmed in. It has green lights on the grip.
- Wingman4l7 14y agoThe first example that comes to mind for me is a scene in the 2007 movie Shoot 'Em Up; the protagonist's workaround for using a dead henchman's thumbprint-verified firearm is to use their severed hand (of course).
