Which movie was it (maybe naked gun?) where it's a 5 minute hallway shootout and none of the cops could hit anything.

Star Wars. They were part of the rebel alliance and traitors to the empire. But, the cops couldn't hit anything until one of them broke out a shotgun loaded with heat-seeking shot and fired it point blank. Don't judge too harshly. They can't see a thing in those helmets.

Yeah, and blasters are pretty clumsy weapons
