If someone is running full speed at you, there are options other than stand in place drawing and cocking a gun that will give you more time.

By the time things elevate to fighting, the gunman already has his pistol out, locked and loaded. In fact, single-action autos are usually carried with a round in the chamber when trouble is possible. After all, how many times do madmen with knives suddenly run at you screaming out of nowhere for no reason?

Ford was supposed to fight the guy with the big sword in the marketplace, but he had some kind of food poisoning (dysentery?) and just wanted to go back to the hotel and be sick. So he said to Spielberg, "Look, I've been carrying this pistol around the whole film. Why don't I use it?" So they set the shot, BANG! done in one take. I don't care HOW big your knife is, it's a bad idea to bring a knife to a gun fight. Mythbusters aside.

Winterbottom, which has just such a big battle scene. Among other wonderful stuff all through it. I wholeheartedly recommend “Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story”, the film by M.

Over in half a second. Or the 900 pound bear could have reached out one giant paw and swatted him into 1985. Over in half a second.
