12. Wild Wild West
This crazy, steampunk-inspired film sees Smith pick up his microphone again and rap the soundtrack to this riot of a movie.
Captain James “Jim” West is one of the best hired guns in the West and battles huge mechanical spiders and leaps along moving trains to save the President from the psychotic Arliss Loveless.
While it was slammed by critics and didn’t make big bucks at the box office, it has since become a guilty pleasure for many Smith fans and is the perfect film to watch if you want impossible stunts and don’t care too much about a story line.
Smith is what makes this film great with his well delivered one liners and disregard for the law.
As President Grant puts it, “And you, West, not every situation calls for your patented approach of ‘shoot first, shoot later, shoot some more and then when everybody’s dead try to ask a question or two’.”
