Questions about Movies - looking for a name of a movie


Expert: Quinn - 10/1/2008

Question
I have been trying to remember a movie that I saw as a kid. I do not remember much about the movie other then a kid/teenager finding a type of gun that was connected to a power source that he would carry on his back something like what the Ghostbusters had. I am not sure if the gun was military or alien. I think he may have found it in an old shed or he kept it in the shed after he found it.



The only other thing that comes to mind is that he would always fight with his dad/stepdad and I think he may have used the gun to kill him. It might have been some kind of family member.


I would say the movie was from the late 70’s to about 1991.


Well I am sorry for not having more info on this movie but if it rings a bell please let me know been trying for some time now to find it.


Btw it is not laserblast


Thanks


Answer
Hi Marc, I think you may be looking for the movie Deadly Weapon.

"An experimental gun powered by an atomic reactor is misplaced when the transport carrying it crashes into a river. The weapon soon falls into the hands of a bullied teen named Zeke, who uses it to get even with his persecutors. An army team led by the overzealous Lt. Dalton is sent to recover the weapon before it's unstable reactor overloads and causes a meltdown."

I hope this has helped.
