Post 2 of 2
Its been awhile since anybody updated the Movie Lugers list, so I have.
I went back through all the postings and created one master list, and included whatever descriptive comments people made. The links in some of the entries take you to postings where pictures have been included.
I will maintain this list for awhile, if you have any additions or comments make them here and I will edit them into the list. If you have pictures or still frames of any of the movies listed, please post them in a
separate post (
not this thread) and I will add the link to this list.
The list has become too long (exceeds the single-post character limit), and so it is now split into two posts.
Have fun.

Never So Few
It is one of my favorite WWII movies. It is set in the CBI (China Burma India) theater. Steve McQeen carries a Luger in a tanker style chest holster. It would rate 3 stars on your Luger visability scale and 5(of 5 possible) as a movie.
Night of the Fox ***
George Peppard using a silenced Luger to attempt an assasination of Erwin Rommel
The
Notorious Landlady ***
No Way Back **
1995 movie starring Russell Crowe. A Yakuza killer wields a luger in a number of scenes.
The
Odessa Files
A "flashback" scene has good Luger action with an SS officer shooting a decorated Wehrmacht officer during an argument.
Of Mice and Men (the old one)
Olsenbanden og Dynamitt-Harry
In english it would be something like 'The Olsen Gang and Dynamite Harry' "Olsenbanden" are a series of Norwegian comedies based around the crime gang of Egon Olsen. A Luger is used in this movie.

The

The
Persuaders episode
(w. Tony Curtis and Roger Moore). A silenced luger with a frame stock.
The
Pianist
It shows the use of a Luger in a rather bad setting, but it makes you kinda think about some darker parts of it's history
The
Pretender episodes
In one of the scenes toward the end of the show a Luger was shown. The scene was a flashback to an earlier time and showed the bad doctor and good doctor arguing. The bad doctor was telling the good doctor that if he wasn't for them then he was against them. The good doctor refused to go along with bad doctor who suddenly pulled a gun on him and pointed it at his chest. The next scene showed a close up of the good doctor and the Luger pointing at his chest. Thought I would pass this on to add to the list of Lugers on tv and film.
There is another episode of The Pretender with a Luger. Jarrods brother in a flashback to childhood is shooting one at a target. If you look, you can see that the toggle isn't fully closing, but it continues to shoot. Apparently modified to fire blanks. The Luger is seen in several poses as the actors talk...
The
Producers
Mel Brooks
Protocol
1984 with Goldie Hawn. Arab solder draws a Luger when she comes under fire. Can only assume it was a "Persian" model.
Public Enemy
1930s flick with Jimmey Cagney. His weapon of choice is a Luger carbine with snail drum. Every time he fires you hear machine gun sounds.
Puppet on a Chain
Good Luger presence in the final scenes.
Rififi
made in 1955 France and filmed in Paris.
Film-noir at its best, a heist movie with lots of French cars roaring around Paris at high speed and plenty of gun play with classic old German handguns including a Luger in the main role.
Rogue Male
a 1976 film about Peter O'Toole an Englishman that attempts to assassinate Hitler and muffs the shot. The bulk of the story is the Gestapo trying to find him in England and kill him! ONE scene with the German Dude tracking O'Toole with Luger in hand!

Sergeant York ***
Shadow of the Vampire **
employs a Luger to establish that it is very risky to use only a 9 mm round to attempt to put down the undead.

Twilight Zone episode "The Self Improvement of Salvadore Ross."***
...has a good Luger scene where a paralyzed vet shoots a man with a Luger who was wanting to marry his daughter, and also an earlier scene where the boyfriend chastises the father for having "crummy war souvenirs." The ending credits are shown over a still-frame close-up of the Luger pointing at the camera. One of the longest if not the longest on-screen view you might come across...
Twilight Zone--The Movie ***
The Luger scene has Vic Morrow (of Combat! TV fame) taken back in time to Nazi Germany after he made rascist remarks in a bar. During a scene where he is trying to get away from the Gestapo, the Nazis are taking "pot shots" at him with a Lugers while he is trapped outside a window ledge. The scene is authentic in that you can even hear the empty cases "tinkling" when they hit the ground.

Winter People
Kurt Russell and Kelly McGillis star in this one, made about 20 or so years ago. Russell is out bear hunting with a group of guys, things get out of control and Russell jumps on the back of the bear and dispatches him with a shot to the head. Looks like a 1900 or 1906 commercial.

Zeppelin
Shot of a luger being tucked away under a coat by one of the actors. Lots of shots of a stocked broomhandle in action as well.
Zwartboek
Coming sometime at the end of the year or early next year is "Zwartboek" or "Black book". A film based in WWII Netherlands by Paul Verhoeven (Soldier of Orange, Basic instinct, Starship troopers etc etc). This will feature at least one P08 being used to dispatch Dutch resistence fighters, I know, I [Fabian] was an extra during some scenes Didn't get close enough to it to ID it though. Got to play with deactivated MP40s, Stens, K98s, and Lee Enfield MKIVs
The film will be in the correct languages, ie the Germans will speak German, Dutch will speak Dutch, and the Americans and commonwealth troops will speak English.
*** High Luger presence, such as integral to plot, closeups, much footage, or good scene with Luger, etc.
** Minor Luger presence
* Mere hint of Luger, such as brief glimpse in battlefield, wearing of P-08 holster, etc.
