Charles Bronson's Luger
 

While channel surfing I ran across a movie called "Family" starring Charles Bronson, filmed in 1970. There was a good shootout scene with Charlie blasting away with his Luger, so I caught it with my trusty digital camera.

Wow, it is a rare Death's Head Luger too! <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" /> [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]

Actually, judging from the large looking bore it could be .45 caliber!

This movie is also dubbed "Violent City" in other countries and is available from Amazon in DVD and VHS. I dont remember this one too much! It is on my look out list.

The muzzle of Bronson's luger looks like a standard 9mm to me, but it's quite probable, if the movie actually shows him shooting this luger, that a restrictor has been screwed into the muzzle, to allow cycling with 9mm movie blanks. I made up several of these while living in California. Tom H.

The movie was a real "cheapy" and was filmed in Italy, then given different names for various countries. It was also dubbed in a number of languages.

A shame, he was a great charector actor and I liked him a lot, <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Thor, here's a link to several places to buy the DVD "Violent City".

For some of is best work, and a terrific (and true) story, check out "The Great Escape".

Might as well include "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Dirty Dozen". I know I sure looked at Wildeys differently after "Death Wish 3"...
