Not as stupid as every Hollywood crime/war movie/TV show [Mob City] with someone holding a prisoner at bay with an uncocked 45 automatic...

Even a wimp like me could grab that 45 away and beat the guy over the head with it before he could c0ck it...

[cirelaw]

Colt 45, I think!

[alanint]

Beretta 92.....

This photo features a great image of Bela Lugosi, sporting a Luger, from a 1947 horror film called SCARED TO DEATH..

Streets of San Francisco season 2 episode 5

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAtxOzJetKc

Luger with silencer used by bad guy and some reference to the 7.65 cartridge by Hollywood.

Also bad guy mob hit men with Sporterized Arisaka.

10:40
16:40 for some of the Luger and references to it.

36:05
43:02 Arisaka rifle. Pause on 43:02. Arisaka because of the long bolt release and safety knob and you can almost see numbers on the left of the receiver forward the bolt release. The rifle is a takedown if it is the same one they used in both scenes would make it a custom job Arisaka or a Type 2 or 100 possible sporterized job.

I like these 70's shows because you see guns you do not see these days in movies.
Now it is all Glocks and AR-15's. To each there own but that is boring for me to see.

I recommend watching this whole episode.

The late Tom Bosley places a guest role in the episode. Interesting to see him in a different role than Happy Days. For him in this episode it was anything than Happy days for his character.

Today I was watching The Great Waldo Pepper and spotted a Luger I didn't find on the movie list. At around 18 minutes Waldo (Robert Redford) and Mary Beth (Susan Sarandon) are watching a silent movie where one of the characters removes his gun-which Waldo says was a bad idea.

Turner Classic Movies tonight has 1958's "The Young Lions" with Marlon Brando as a German Leutnant with a Luger, in occupied Paris in 1940...He didn't shoot it [yet], he was more concerned with his peaked hat...

Black & white movie, good props, skin tight uniforms...

Whoa! Brando's motorcycle just ran over a mine in North Africa! He's injured!

Did you recognize the "Burgermeister" of the town??

Yeah! I'm surprised that Robert Osborne didn't mention that he knew nothing!

Lee Van Cleef also got a mention in the credits but not much in the actual scenes.

A black & white movie in 1958...That's disappointing...

In the first 20 minutes, where Brando is in the bushes after the French ambush, he has his Luger out and there is one 2 or 3 second shot where it appears the toggle is open...
