They Live (1988)

Corrected entry: When Roddy Piper goes on a killing spree in the bank (the "chew bubblegum" scene) he fires nine shots without reloading. Even with an extended magazine tube (which it doesn't have), the shotgun he's using would only hold eight shells. (00:41:40)

Correction: While correct, to an extent, he is using a riot shotgun. Depending on the model, barrel length, and type of shells, it can hold 6 to 10 shells. This is not to discount that there may have been a round chambered before he got it.
