Favourite improbable swords and other silly weapons

Ok, the reason for this thread is to see how many times we can make Sedhal and Ed reach for the barf bag. 
However, in all seriousness, I'm sure we've all come across some form or other of various implements of war in movies, tv shows, etc, that made us shake our heads in disbelief, yet at the same time go: "Ya know, that's kinda cool!"
So, what's your guilty pleasure? What skeletons are hiding in your weapons closet? Here's mine, the triple-sword that shoots the two outer blades from The Sword and the Sorcerer, circa 1982. I wouldn't be caught dead buying a replica of this thing, and the list of things that are impractical about it are too numerous to list, but dang it, wouldn't it be cool if it actually worked like in the movie? So have a look, and then list your favourite, and try not to feel too bad about it.
