Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday......"I'm yore huckleberry".....although Outlaw Josie Wales was pretty good as well....

The Movie Utu has a wicked good double double. deals with the Mori down in NZ

So did John wayne with his Greeners in the movie where he is out hunting and trouble is a comin. the name escapes me.

Brian, I think that was "Big Jake"... "Martha, did you remember to bring my Greeners?"...Geo

And what about Mr Quartermane in League of Extraordinary gentlemen. "Bring me Matilda". Great rifle.
Shepard

As George wrote Big Jake, it had a few Greeners /(Crescents) for sure Brian.

Double Barrel "Coach" Shotgun

"In Big Jake various short double barreled shotguns are almost the co-stars. Multiple characters use them. Jake MCCandles (John Wayne) uses 2 twin double-barrel shotguns in the movie. He refers to them as "my Greeners". Greener was and still is a British maker of fine shotguns. He gives one to Sam (Bruce Cabot), who, along with his knife, uses it as his main weapon. A double barreled shotgun us used by the kidnappers as well. Most notably by John Fain (Richard Boone) during the climactic gunfight between him and Jake McCandles who is using one of his Greener shotguns. According to Hollywood Guns and Props. Stembridge Gun Rental invoices to Batjac Productions for Big Jake indicates the rental of 5 American Gun Company (Crescent F.A.) short barrel shotguns to the production, not actually "Greeners." http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Big_Jake

Hombre & Tom Horn sported double barrels also.

I have to disagree about Open Range. I find Kevin Costner very hard to believe as a tough guy when you have Robert Duvall in the cast.Robert Duvall will always be Gus to me, and Gus will always rule the roost!

As for the shotgun...if it will knock a man across an alley, it would also knock the shooter backward just as far.
