My grandson stopped by the other day and with him he brought a DVD of the last remake of KING KONG. This is the 2006 version and the computor graphics are unbelievable.
About 40 minutes into the movie and a number of the good guys have been overpowered and are about to be executed by the unhappy natives. The ships captain comes to there rescue and immediately despatches 2 of the would-be executioners with an ARTILLARY LUGER, yes, it was at that point that I took a genuine interest in the movie. This is the first time I have ever seen an Artillary Luger in any movie. I immediately went back with the film and jogged the pause button and was able to see the flash and then the toggle flying up and the ejected case. Super cool!!!!!!!!!!! |

There are several. Doug McClure's "The Land That Time Forgot" a fairly cheap "B" movie, features several Artilleries.

"Guns of Navarone" has one. It's used to hit a wounded prisoner. Regards, Norm

The Luger is cool, the 2006 remake of King Kong not so much. I am a purist and will stick with the old 1933 B&W King Kong as being the best.

Here is an example of where a Broomhandle & a Borchardt was used. In the "Get Smart" episode in which Sigfried appears for the first time "A Spy for a Spy" not only does Max pull out a Borchardt (later) both Max & Sigfried both pull out Broomhandle Mausers when disarming each other!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2YUQMWW_jM Broomhandles start @ 1:54 Borchardt @ 2:21 I loved "Get Smart" & this episode is one of my favorites for it's zannyness!! ![]() |

The Clint Eastwood movie "Joe Kidd" has extensive use of a broom handle in full automatic used by one of the bad guys and subsequently used by Joe Kidd to elliminate the bad guys.
