The gun shop scene
Near the end of this movie, there is a scene in which James Cagney robs a gun shop with the exact gun and ammunition that the owner hands him for a demonstration.
I feel that I have seen this scene quite often in different movies over the years. The Terminator has it, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly has it, too. But I think I saw it even more often in other films.
Was The Public Enemy the first film to use that scene? Do you know other movies that have a similar sequences?
