City Heat with Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds takes places in Kansas City in the early to mid 1930S. Movie was made around the early 80s. Eastwood plays a cop and Reynolds plays a private eye, former friends, now uneasy allies. There is a scene where the bad guys are trying to get Reynolds. Lead is flying all over the place and Eastwood is standing next to his car watching all of the excitement when a shot comes his way. He reaches in his car and pulls out a Winchester Model 97 pump riot gun. Starts working the trombone and trigger and pointing in the general direction. Bad guy gets a lot of shot in his hind end. He ends up in some old sawbone's office, who has a fondness for the hard stuff. Reynolds and Eastwood show up and pour ether on the guy's posterior and they light a match to get a confession. Model 97 riot model and Krags showed up in a movie with Sean Connery, Candace Bergen, and Brian Keith called The Wind and The Lion. Very good movie.
