    Eh, I daresay the "smart guns" of Aliens take the cake in that regard. The wonders you can do by taking some MG42 derivative props and sticking bicycle handles on them, and covering it all up with much technobabble and attitude...
    Honorary also-rans include the creatively reinterpreted WW2 props of Star Wars (the original trilogy; the next three movies Did Not Happen) and cleverly pimped-out modern guns of Robocop.

    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
