ACDC: Big Gun CD maxi-single (UK) different songs to the US release. Check video. Highly recommended
Released 1993
Recorded 1993
Genre Hard rock
Label ATCO
Writer(s) Angus Young, Malcolm Young
Producer Rick Rubin
“Big Gun” is a song by AC/DC. It was released as a single in 1993 and can be heard on the soundtrack to the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Last Action Hero, as well as during reruns of the Savage Nation talk show as bumper music. It was later released on the 2009 box set Backtracks. It became the bands first No. 1 on the Album Rock Tracks chart in 1993.
AC/DC has only played the song live once during 1996 rehearsals but never at an official show.

Music video
The music video, directed by David Mallet, begins with Schwarzenegger breaking an entrance door to an AC/DC concert. As he walks around the crowd and the stage, observing each band member, Angus kicks his cap towards him. When Schwarzenegger puts on the cap, his clothes morph into Angus’ trademark school uniform costume and signature Gibson SG. He then starts imitating Angus’ on-stage antics throughout the video, including a scene in which Angus Young actually climbs up on Schwarzenneggers back and rides around the stage perched on his shoulders while continuing to play his guitar chords. The video also features a young Shavo Odadjian, the future bassist for the Armenian-American alternative metal band System of a Down.
The video was similar to the one for “You Could Be Mine” (released to promote Terminator 2: Judgment Day), where Schwarzenegger interacted with Guns N’ Roses.
