Christian Bale is a master of gun-fu in 2002's
Equilibrium. He practices the obscure art of
Gun Kata — something apparently invented for this movie — which is sort of like karate crossed with a gunfight from an early Clint Eastwood flick. In this clip, Bale takes down a whole squad of cops who are trying to come between him and a cute puppy. Think we're kidding? In
Equilibrium's dark future, all emotions are illegal and Bale is an elite government agent sworn to destroy anything that provokes emotions, including puppies. But one puppy wins Bale's heart. Yes, it's as lame as it sounds. Still, Gun Kata makes up for the rest of the film. Check out the Gun Kata video tutorial below the jump.

Someone's going to be coming and harvesting your organs, or culling you at age 30, or drugging you into obedience. The fake paradise built on a foundation of shit seems to flourish most during times when technology seems to be solving all our problems (like during the dotcom boom.) Click through for a list of false utopias.
