It’s amusing enough that an over-armed squad of murderers lashed out with their best and did less damage than a sneeze. Like many good jokes, hers works on multiple levels. I watched Black Panther with friends, and Okoye’s line made us all chuckle, which is quite the feat, since my friends are goths. She then destroys the SUV with one throw of her Vibranium spear. With the expression of somebody who has never been less impressed in her life, Okoye says: However, mere bullets cannot so much as scratch the paint on Wakandan tech.
The group splits at a fork in the road T’Challa and Shuri chase two SUVs to the left, while Okoye and Nakia chase the other SUVs to the right.īefore long, mid-chase, the henchmen whip out a machine gun and spray Okoye and Nakia’s Vibranium-enforced car with bullets.

To escape capture by T’Challa, Okoye, Nakia, and (remotely) Shuri, Ulysses, his henchmen, and his henchmen’s portable armory of guns hop into a bunch of black SUVs and kick off a car chase through the busy city streets.
Although his prosthetic arm also functions as a hardcore sonic cannon, Ulysses favors handguns throughout the movie, especially for murder. We first meet Ulysses, a black market arms dealer, during an early scene in which he playfully shoots a fleeing museum worker in the back of the head. Here’s the setup: our heroes-the new king T’Challa Okoye, head of T’Challa’s elite guards and my favorite character of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe superspy Nakia and the great inventor Shuri, who more or less Skypes into an action scene (yeeeeeah!)-confront Ulysses Klaue and his henchmen in Busan. This article is not the place for discussions about gun control or vivid descriptions of the physical carnage a bullet wound can cause, lives ended more quickly than the echo of a gunshot.īut first, it begins with a joke from Black Panther (2018). I will neither dissect the feasibility of plasma bullets nor review the vast range of guns throughout history. This is not a list of the most iconic guns in science fiction.
