Shotguns in the movies

[Slater]

Watching "Training Day" on DVD, I noticed a Mossberg 500 w/pistol grip and what appeared to be a pistol-gripped Mossberg 590 in some of the scenes.

In "Terminator" of course, Arnie had his SPAS 12 and Reese had his stolen LAPD Ithaca with sawed-off stock.

In "Platoon Leader" (a low-budget '80's Vietnam flick), Roach had his Winchester Model 12 (IIRC) that he inflicted havoc with.

Off the top of my head, I can't recall any movies that prominently featured the Remington 870, although there must have been a few. Thoughts?

well, it's not an 870, but *no* movie shotgun discussion is complete without a certain cobalt blue and walnut, 12 guage, double barrel remington retailing for about $109.95...

(or the levergun from t2)

pauli,do you mean the one made in Grand Rapids Michigan?

The Mummy movies have some neat SG's. Both Winchester's, 1897 & 1896(lever) I think.

Bullitt With Steve McQueen.
He can run a pump '97 and shift that Fastback Mustang...
I gotta get another copy - I kinda sort of wore mine out. It bwoke.

The lever action Winchester 1887 used in The Mummy Returns is the same gun used in T2.

 

[9mmMike]

Thanks. That's what I meant, an 87 and a 97.

i believe stallone uses an 870 at the end of "Cop Land". i'm not positive, but i think the Rock uses one in "Rundown" as well.

Clint Eastwood had a nice scene with a Remington 870 with a sidesaddle in Blood Work.

 

[sharpie613]

Ving Rhames used an 870 in Dawn of the Dead.

I cant beleive no one has said "Way of the Gun."

 

[Average Guy]

Val Kilmer in "Spartan." (Watch closely for extra cycling action sans sound.)

 

[Andrew Wyatt]

Clint Eastwood had a nice scene with a Remington 870 with a sidesaddle in Blood Work.

it was a mossberg. the tang safety is visible.

Colors with Sean Penn & Robert Duvall.

"Narc" had a few nice Mossy's in it. As well as a handfull of revolvers, a Beretta "stainless" and a nice HP.

 

[El Guero]

I just watched the Bourne Identity last night, and I have to say it was a great movie.
Bourne gets holed up in a farm house by a sniper with one of those Sig55x sniper rifles, and Bourne gets the house owner's old SxS 12 gauge to take him out. It was just an awesome sight to see in a modern action movie, the more skilled operator using a practically antique weapon to achive victory. Probably the most memorable part of the movie (for me)

Read the book. It is a whole lot better than the movie.

 

[Hatchett]

Don't forget the Winchester '97 in the Wild Bunch. Or the old 37s in LA Confidential.

 

[sharpie613]

What was the PG that Reese pulls off his back in Aliens?

 

[slim whitman]

Way of the Gun has one of the greatest, "realistic" looking gun battles I have seen in film.

Stallone has an Ithaca in Copland.

Eastwood had an 870 in Bloodwork.

Hicks had an Ithaca in Aliens.

Sorry, I watch too many movies.

Sorry for the cluelessness -- To which movie gun are you referring?

 

[sharpie613]

Ready--

That would be S-Mart's top of the line...in Army of Darkness.

 

[lmccrock]

"The Wind and the Lion". Win 97, at the end anyway.
