2000ad
Britain's 2000AD is known for cutting its scifi with satire, but occasionally even the Galaxy's Greatest Comic can go too far. Such was the case with four episodes of Judge Dredd in 1978, which set out to prove just how dangerous fast food could be, and ended up demonstrating that it's not a good idea to mess with copyrights of international corporations if you're looking to avoid lawyers writing nasty letters. Who knew that Ronald McDonald could be so disagreeable?

If we ever do a "Greatest Scifi Motorcycle Chases" post, this sequence from Judge Dredd will totally make the cut. The flying motorcycles zooming over Megacity One are pretty well realized, and the whole scene is more kinetic and non-stop than the Fifth Element cop chase. I'm not even going to comment on Judge Dredd teaching the whiny guy about cocking, and the fact that they fly through a giant "NUTS" sign. If you don't compare the Dredd movie to the Dredd comic, it actually turns out to be a pretty amazing scifi action film. Just ignore the Nordic subtitles — our copy is an elite import.

Whether due to our obsession with phallic guns, or the idea that a laser pistol is just too cool to pass up, the scifi gun has endured since H.G. Wells introduced them as a "Heat-Ray" in 1898's War of the Worlds. As good old Han Solo would later say, "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
