For those that need a definition Chekhov’s Gun is the story telling principle that says that everything in a story must have a purpose. Probably best categorized by the quote:"If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired. Otherwise don't put it there."So with that in mind what’s your favorite “Chekhov’s Gun” moment?My personal favorite is either the power loader coming back to fight the Queen Alien in Aliens, or the Gun Lamp in The Great Outdoors. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/30M57JP
