I just watched A Fish called Wanda. Kevin Kline and the English guy are at a stand off. Kline says more or less, are you going to shoot me down or fight me like a man?. The English guy(John something) takes him up on it and says(while taking a boxing stance) I boxed at Harvard( or some such school after laying down his pistol). Kline picks up the pistol and says, "and I killed people for the CIA". Then nonchalantly spins the pistol. Very cool. Cool as John Wayne, who could spin a pistol. So can The Dancing with Wolves guy. I think those are studio pistols though. I've tried it and the trigger slices my finger. True Grit. The ultimate gun spin.
Bully shot! True Grit again. Then there's the Australian movie where guns play a big part. With a little bit of ammo reloading. All hollywood movies.
-My personal favorite is the 1999 version of "The Mummy" with Brendan Frasier and Rachel Weisz. This movie has an incredible collection of early 20th century firearms, Mausers, Lee Enfields, a Lewis Gun, Lebels, Colt Single Actions, Colt new Services, broom handle Mausers, Snyder Conversion Enfields and on and on.g part.-
That's a diversity of guns. What does it take to kill a Mummy?
The Rachel mention made my ears perk up. Had a little Lebel once. Rifle. Belgian? I had a crate of 8mm on these metal strippers. The rifle cracked from the abuse and we glued it together with duck tape and Agraglass. The little rifle was accurate. Then one year all the ammo died. Yup, died on their strippers.
