History Main / BANGFlagGun

* Infamously used by StoneColdSteveAustin on {{Vince McMahon}} during an episode of ''{{WWF}} Raw'', with the flag saying "BANG 3:16", no less. [=McMahon=] [[BringMyBrownPants pissed himself]] in the middle of the ring.

* ''{{Skullgirls}}'': Peacock's revolver can shoot out a BANG flag, amongst other things.

---> Harley: You never said ''which'' gun...

* In a recent {{Deadpool}} cover by the excellent Dave Johnson, Deadpool points an autoloader at the reader with a Bang flag coming out of it. In the background, a number of FacelessGoons lie on the floor, Bang flags embedded in their heads.
* ''New Warriors''. A realist looking BangFlagGun was used by the prosecutor send the telekinetic Vance Astrovik to prison. His grabbing the smoke -of- the gun with his mind was used to prove he didn't have to be fatally damaging in defense from his father's abuse. The fact the prosecuter made everyone think she was trying to kill Vance didn't seem to actually matter to the judge. Prison ensued.

* The Joker pulls his beloved "lethal BANG Flag Gun" version off in ADarkKnightOverSinCity.

* ''Film/TheMask'' scares off some {{Mooks}} with [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill two handfuls of guns]] (all of which turn out to be of these type), while doing a "Dirty Harry" impersonation to boot.
* ''DiamondsAreForever'': In a deleted scene available on the CD, Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd kill Shady Tree with a BANGFlagGun that also shoots a real bullet.

* ''Sleeper''. Woody Allen's character threatens the Leader's nose with such a gun.

* In at least one episode of ''TheMonkees''.

* ''ILoveLucy'' features one in its fourth episode, "Lucy Thinks Ricky Is Trying to Murder Her". Ricky is preparing stuff for one of his shows and one of the items is a "Bang" flag gun that Lucy thinks is a real gun finally culminating in Ricky "shooting" Lucy showing her that it is a prop.

* The flag gun is so iconic to the Joker that it's even used as his fatality move in ''MortalKombat VS. DC''...except it's [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] when he then drops it and pulls out a real gun.
** And in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'', Shang Tsung reuses it as his own Fatality, with a few differences: 1. he transforms into a more generic MonsterClown (sure, since they can't use the DC characters), and 2. the victim is shown as he/she gets shot: his/her head is blown to bits.

* Joker again: In the final cutscene of ''[[LegoAdaptationGame Lego Batman]]'', Joker's thrown in jail again and looks ready to shoot himself in despair before we find it's one of these joke guns. (You read that right: [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Joker put a gun to his head in a Lego game.]])
* {{Skullgirls}}: Peacock's revolver can shoot out a BANG flag, amongst other things.

* In the ''LooneyTunes'' short, "Hare Conditioned", Bugs Bunny fires a rifle at a store manager, but all that comes out is three "Bang" signs in succesion. The manager then produces three "Ouch" flags out of his mouth.
** ''DuckDodgersInTheTwentyFourthAndAHalfCentury'' has a variation: Dodgers fires an Ultimatum Gun at Marvin, and the bullet stops short and out comes a flag reading "Surrender, or be blown into 17,670,002 micro-cells." Marvin fires an Ultimatum Responder Gun, and the bullet stops in front of Dodgers and fires...a second bullet. Dodgers then fires another bullet with the rebuttal "Ouch!"

--> '''Cyborg''': "'Bang'? (Looks up and sees he's about to be crushed) Oh dang..."

* Infamously used by StoneColdSteveAustin on {{Vince McMahon}} during the first live episode of ''{{WWF}} Raw'', with the flag saying "BANG 3:16", no less. [=McMahon=] [[BringMyBrownPants pissed himself]] in the middle of the ring.

** He also uses it as a weapon in an issue of ''BirdsOfPrey'', where he shows it off to an unruly henchman, holds it [[EyeScream right up to their eye]] and says "Wanna see?" before pulling the trigger.

** And in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'', Shang Tsung reuses it as his own Fatality.

* ''TheMask'' scares off some {{Mooks}} with [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill two handfuls of guns]] (all of which turn out to be of these type), while doing a "Dirty Harry" impersonation to boot.

* The Joker pulls one in ADarkKnightOverSinCity, only for the joke to "have a new punchline". [[spoiler: A second pull of the trigger turns the little flag into a projectile.]]
** This was taken directly from the ''BatmanBeyond'' movie where Joker did the same.

* Infamously used by StoneColdSteveAustin on {{Vince McMahon}} during the first live episode of ''{{WWF}} Raw''. [=McMahon=] [[BringMyBrownPants pissed himself]] in the middle of the ring.

--> '''Cyborg''': "Bang"? (Looks up and sees he's about to be crushed) Oh dang...

** The gun is so iconic that it makes multiple appearances in ''BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker'', [[spoiler:and is [[HoistByHisOwnPetard the method by which the Joker himself is killed.]]]]
*** Only in the uncut version. In the censored version, [[ExecutiveMeddling a second pull of the trigger results in a cloud of Joker gas]]. YMMV on which concept is more horrifying.

** And in an episode of ''BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', Harley, finally fed up with the Joker, pulls a tommy gun on him; Batman elects not to intervene. The Joker tells her she doesn't have the guts to pull the trigger. She does: "Ratta Tat Tat." She cringes with anticipated retribution, but the Joker, after a moment of cynical calculation, decides to forgive her, and all is well.
