I think it was Charles Durning who grabbed a flare gun while on board a helicopter in The Final Countdown. It went off during a struggle and the helicopter was destroyed.

Congo has one. There's the scene where she shoots a flare gun out of an airplane so the heat seaking missles go after them. This is of course before the talking apes with lazer guns show up.
And not flaire gun, but t2 has the awesome scene where he just starts shooting and disabiling the armored cops and he uses something a lot like a flare gun. Don't know the name of it though.

Homer Simpson shot down a helicopter with a flare gun, in the episode with Ernest Borgnine...
Ernest Borgnine, going for his pocket-knife that Home stole, to fight off a bear: "I'll just pull out my trusty...uh...eh...oh..."

This was odd enough for me to remember:
The Squeeze (1987) with Michael Keaton.
Saw it on TV, likely in '90 or something, but there is a scene, during the climax, where Keaton and the main bad guy are on the deck of a defunct battleship. Bad guy has a gun and is looking for Keaton. Keaton gets the drop on him from behind a big deck gun (a 50mm or something, small enough to be fired by one man and on a rotating pedestal).
He aims the big gun at the bad guy and then fires... a flare. Keaton fired a flare gun through the big barrel.
Anyway, the flare hits him and I think he goes toppling over the edge or something... I forget.
The movie was about some Lottery scam, I believe. But it was the incongruous image of a flare sputtering out of that massive barrel that I remember.

In JAWS 2,
the water-skiier's driver tries to use a flare-gun to kill Bruce, the 50-foot great-white shark. But she only succeeds in setting him on fire and scarring his face.
