Movie Lugers List--Spring 2006

rivieraranch · 12-29-2010, 09:36 AM

"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
