An episode of 'The Family Guy'.



Link to the clip on YouTube:

Furthermore a British movie is in the making, called 'Luger of the black sun'.

"A Luger handgun from the Second World War with dark and mystical powers is found in modern day Bucharest and unwittingly taken to London. En-route it falls into the hands of a fascist media mogul intent on using it's power to bring the return of the Forth Reich."

'He's Alive' episode of The Twilight Zone in which Dennis Hopper plays a 1950's era neo-Nazi in a US city. The ghost of Hitler hands him a real Luger to assassinate another character. Luger spits fire but toggles not seen to move.

Russel,

Thanks ever so much for the Twilight Zone episode reference. This was the one I had in mind when I included it in the first place--I remembered seeing it--but didn't know the episode's title and couldn't bring to mind the specific details.

Gerben,

Sorry that I missed the "Luger of the Black Sun" rerference under the "Family Guy" picture. Just caught it, and added it to the list.

There is another Twilight Zone episode where a crippled WW II vet shoots his daughter's hoodlum boyfriend with a bring-back Luger. Don't remember the name of the episode but it also shows a K98k hanging on the wall.

It was too hot to go outside today, so I added a new feature to the main Movie Lugers list. Check it out!

Dwight, if a norwegian movie would qualify for the list, I know a Luger is used in one of the 'Olsenbanden' movies.
There is a total of 14 Olsenbanden movies made, from 1969 until quite recently. Not sure wich one it was.. they are great fun, but I will NOT look trough them all to find that scene

Just bought and watched "The Lighthorsemen". An Australian made movie about the Australian Lighthorse mounted Infantry's charge to capture the Well's of Abraham at Beersheba against the Turks in 1917. Great scenes of a Mauser C96 at the end of the movie.

Excellent subject, movies and lugers. There's a couple of luger shots in "Pan's Labyrinth", an excellent movie by the way.

The episode of "The Twilight Zone" mentioned that has a guy in a wheel chair, is especially important as the ending credits are shown over a close-up of the Luger pointing at the camera. One of the longest if not the longest on-screen view you might come across...

You guys will now be among the very few outside of norway who knows
hmm.. never thought I would go into describing Olsenbanden on the Lugerforum, but here it goes;

Ok, Olsenbanden would be in English 'The Olsen (common norwegian last name) Gang'. It's a series of 14 (!) comedy movies about a very unlucky trio, the first one came out in 1969.
They are thiefâ??s who always get unlucky in the very end of each big coup they try. Their leader, Egon Olsen, always end up in jail and every new movie starts with him being released. They are all great fun


Just like the books about Morgan Kane (total of 83 books!), the Olsenbanden is very well known within Norway. Especially for those who where young in the 60s.
( When I was a much younger cowboy than today, I finished all these 83 books in my bed from the light of a candle
http://www.morgankane.no/English.html )

tedious information you say ey? Hah.. you asked for it

Dwight, to be spesific.. it's in the opening sequence of the second movie that came out in 1970, "Olsenbanden og Dynamitt-Harry". In english it would be something like 'The Olsen Gang and Dynamite Harry'

It's been a while since I've seen it, but I think the Scorpio Killer used a luger in the first "Dirty Harry" Movie.

Scorpio, the killer in "Dirty Harry," used a WWII P.38 that he stole from a liquor story owner after bashing him over the head with a bottle of Seagram's. That is the pistol that he drops after being wounded by Clint.
In an earlier scene, Scorpio had an MP40 that he dropped after Clint stabbed him in the leg with an Italian picklock stiletto.

I did some research online and was able to track down the "Twilight Zone" episode that myself and Johnny previoulsy mentioned that has a good Luger scene where a paralyzed vet shoots a man with a Luger who was wanting to marry his daughter. The name of it is "The Self Improvement of Salvadore Ross." I saw this episode more than 20 years ago but have always remembered it for the Luger scene and also an earlier scene where the boyfriend chastises the father for having "crummy war souvenirs."I may buy it now. Would that make me a certifiable Luger addict if I buy a video just because it has a Luger scene?

Thanks very much for taking the trouble to search this out. Details added.

Yep, certifiable...
