One of my favorite Movies that is not shown very often is "Never So few" about the CBI. It stars Frank Sanatra Steve Mc Queen etc. Steve Mc Queen wears a 4" Luger in a GI shoulder holster and later uses it with authority. I also want to report a rare Roth Steyr cought on film.
The AMC movie channel is showing a Jimmy Stewart movie "The Shop Around the Corner" and a policeman walks by wearing the unmistakable holster of a 1907 Roth Steyr. Hollywood knew how to get thing right back then. Bob |
I know The Man from Uncle has been mentioned. Thought a picture would be good to add, a "quiet" Luger.http://members.rennlist.org/lugerman/UncleLuger.jpg

Hmm, 'bout a year or so back there were these old WWII reels on AMC that had this comedic Army duo (Beavis and Butthead?). I forgot the names, but it was a series where one was young and naive...but made it to Master Sergeant I believe! xD The older, lifer was always just...Sarge. Anyways, on one where they're out at sea, not to ruin it, but they got into a lifeboat and floated to a Japanese midget sub, where the two Japanese officers came out with lugers...hey it's possible!

"Summer of Sam"
I have one to add: A movie about 10-12 years ago called "Summer of Sam", starring John Leguizamo and Adrien Brody. At the end of the movie, Brody's character was being beaten in the street when someone came out of a house to his defense brandishing a luger.
|
Another one to add: Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train"
Psychotic mother's boy Bruno Anthony meets famous tennis professional Guy Haines on a train. Guy wants to move into a career in politics and has been dating a senator's daughter (Ann Morton) while awaiting a divorce from his wife. Bruno wants to kill his father but knows he will be caught because he has a motive. Bruno dreams up a crazy scheme in which he and Guy exchange murders. Guy takes this as a joke, but Bruno is serious and takes things into his own hands. Bruno supplies Guy with a Luger to do the murder. 2 or 3 instances of the Luger being shown. |

I must commend all of You for the time effort and attention paid towards our favorite legend. What an idea for a book. Whats amazing is that I saw maybe 10% and never noticed one single luger. Luv that devotion!

While flipping channels last night, caught a glimps of a Luger in the 1964 horror/sci fi movie The Flesh Eaters.

I was watching King Kong on my computer tonight and took a screenshot of the scene with the Captain. Weird way to hold a pistol but I guess it was the only way to have his face and the Lugher in the picture :D

"He Walked By Night" (1948), Director Anthony Mann's film noir story of a master criminal in Los Angeles after World War II, starring Jack Webb, Richard Basehart. It became the inspiration for the "Dragnet" series later on.
Near the beginning, police haul in some punks, one of whom was caught with "a German Luger, fully loaded." |
In the movie "City Heat" with Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood, there is a gun shoot-out scene towards the end of the movie. I think the movie bombed at the ticket counters.
Burt and Clint take turns emptying out their guns and pulling out other ones from their jackets...each one longer than the next and both guys trying to out-do each other. Burt ends up with a long-barrel Luger of some sort. Not a Artillery model, though. Burt is seen to shoot about 12 rounds out of the gun without reloading. |
In the same movie (City Heat), there is a scene where Eastwood fires a mobster's P08 into a down pillow in order to recover the bullet for testing. The bullet penetrates about an inch and Eastwood plucks it out. I guess it's "artistic license". Regards

I watched PBS' re-make of Alfred Hitchcock's "39 Steps" last night. A well made drama about German Spy / Saboteurs in England 1914.
I didn't see it on the list. Several shots of a Luger, Mauser C96 , and what appeared to be a Husqvarna 1907 ( Long slide 1903 Colt copy ). There was also a scene with a Webley MK VI and I think, a Husqvarna 1887 Swedish Revolver ( Nagant style ). |
The original Dirty Dozen - Possible Luger sighting
Just bumping up an old thread I remembered. I watched part of the original Dirty Dozen yesterday and noticed what appears to be a small blooper. The scene where Lee Marvin's character and Charles Bronson's character have all the High ranking officers in the bunker, the 2 of them pull out P38's to shoot which they do and then after the shooting there is for a split second Bronson holding now what appears to be a Luger and not a P38 anymore.
I am curious if anyone else notices this if they ever watch the movie sometime. |
Newer Movie to add to the list. Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed (2012) quite a bit of Luger scenes as well as other weapons. Good movie.

Lugers are frequently seen troughout the movie "Into the white".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_White It's an interesting movie, based on a true story. |
