This might be an off question for this forum, but I just finished watching Man On Fire with Densel Washington.
Try as I may, I just could not make out what SXS he used in the movie. Also, what other double guns have been used in recent movies say from the 80s up?, Like Val Kilmers " street howitzer" in tombstone and the SXS from the Godfather movie while Michael was hiding in Italy?
Think of this subject as a Brain teaser if you like,
Roland

Well, in the 'Streets of Laredo' the last in the four 'Lonesome Dove' series of films. Capt. Woodrow F. Call (James Garner)is accompanied by a 'Railroad Accountant' who was sold what looks like a Four Bore Double Rifle, allegedly for protection. The ammo belt that came with it has lead bullets in all the cartridge cases, yet in the film it is refered to as a shotgun.
A nice looking English hammer double, whatever make it was.

Go to imfdb.org. There aer most guns used in mot movies on this site. It can pull you in though and you can spend hours there.

The movie 'Open Range' Robert Duvall uses his Parker to blow that one unlucky fellow across the alley way. What a great shot. Everytime we watch it my friends and I still let out a big "OHHHH, MAN" when he goes flying across the alley!!!

Everytime we watch it my friends and I still let out a big "OHHHH, MAN" when he goes flying across the alley!!! Open Range is probably my favorite western movie of all time. However, blowing the guy across the alley gets a definite minus, in realism. Typical Hollywood nonsense. As silly as waiting all day for an expected gunfight and then jacking the lever, racking the slide or checking the sixteen shooter for being loaded, at the very last second before the shooting starts. You, of course, can not blow a man across the alley, or off a horse, unless the man on the other end of the gun gets blown backwards the same amount. In spite of that, Open Range is, IMO, overall the best western ever made. Robert Duvall is also the best western actor, of all time. Also, JMO.

Just saw the same scenario in a Clint Eastwood movie called Unforgiven the other night. I guess they use this blown away with a shotgun because it looks so dramatic even though it's not realistic. It guess it's better than showing the damage a shotgun will really inflict at close range even when loaded with birdshot. Now that would be an ugly sight.

I also liked Burt Lancaster in "Valdez is Coming", and Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen in "Appaloosa", where Mortensen (Everett Hitch) carries what is supposed to be an 8 gauge double. You can read up on the gun and learn how the set armorer/gunsmith took a 12 gauge and sleeved the barrels (on the outside) to give them the appearance of an 8 gauge. Obviously a big gun in his hands, it also said that in the original script there was only supposed to be a few shots of him carrying it, but as the filming progressed he took a liking to the big double and carried it in most every scene.
May God bless America and those who defend her.
