I just watched the USA [Cable] series "Monk" episode that trumps all other handgun entertainment films. The episode "Mr. Monk Goes to the Circus" (2003) has the villain using what is described as a "Ruger-Casull 454 Magnum" revolver as a murder weapon. It appears to be a Ruger Bisley conversion. The only irritant occurred during photography of the villain shooting the revolver -- nominal recoil. Considering it is entertainment, this is a niggardly negative.

That kind of crap chaps my hindquarters a bit as well. I remember a movie an ex-girlfriend of mine made me sit through featuring a rapper known as "snoop Dogg" shooting a pair of Desert Eagle 50AEs one in each hand, while flying through the air backwards. Don't the guys that plan this stuff realize that some of it isn't just improbable, but d@#n near impossible?

The best one's are some of those Sci-Fi original B monster flicks. I saw one with an SKS that shot several hundred rounds with no reloads... or recoil!

My favorite was the "Jurrasic Park". Dino hunting with Benelli semi-auto shotguns... please. I could understand Elephant guns and the Barrett .50, but birdguns?

One of my favorite shoot-em-up movies, John Carpenter's original "Assault on Precinct 13" has a great one - a S&W revolver with a suppressor. Guy claims he'd been snapping off shots all night without realizing his gun was empty!

The only one I can think of off hand is Alien Nation. The lead James Caan goes to the police armorer after emptying his gun into one of the aliens without results. The armorer hands him a model 83 454. He asks "hey why are there only 5 rounds?" the armorer replies "the bullets are too big for 6" Caan takes the gun and proceeds to obliterate a bullet proof vest.
The Desert Eagle on the other hand is everywhere.

I tell her that I want her to by me a gun like that one. She falls for it every time. She says, "but you have one just like it in the safe". And that's when I spring my anser on her: "Yes dear, but mine run out of bullets". |

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man.
Harley ends up with a "Ruger, Super Blackhawk, .454 conversion".
I've tried to zoom in on it, but can't get a clear view. It's a 4 & 5/8" barrel pearl (ish) handled SIX shooter.
This movie easily rates in my top five in a genre I lovingly refer to as "white trash cinema".
Then there is the Contender used by Lance Henriksen in Hard Target (a Van Damme flick). It has no sights, and apparently shoots explosive rounds.

It's a 4 & 5/8" barrel pearl (ish) handled SIX shooter. IIRC, it was a Andy Horvath "Lil' Gun" and most likely chambered in .44 Special.
