In the original "the Getaway" Steve McQueen carries a GM.
"Three days of the Condor" in which Redford plays a CIA anylist on the run. He is asked when he calls in, if he is armed and he says yes. He is asked to describe the weapon. "it's a .45 automatic." later "if I told you I had a .45 in my pocket, would you walk with me?" "A Bridge too far" James Caan (a re-occuring 1911 guy) Plays the only NCO in the movie in a staring roll. That has got to be one of the classic movie threats of all time. In "Hostage" Bruce Willis plays a former LAPD SWAT cop. He can be seen with the Kimber. I thouth that was a nice touch. "LA confidential" has one of my all time favorite gunfight seens. Exley is armed with a GM and a .38 "dick" sp. I have WAY TOO MUCH time on my hands...as you can see.

"Way of the Gun" has nice gun handling involving 1911s. The plot itself is a bit dry but I liked it.

Yeah - all the Steven Segal movies feature him armed with 1911's (very handsome ones, too) In A Few Good Men the Lt. Colonel (played by J.T. Walsh) blows his brains out with a nickel plated 1911, after he gets into his full dress uniform.

Stick a 1911 in any movie for a decent length of time and I'll like it, but for me the best has to be Last Man Standing.

Anybody mention THE CODE TALKERS yet. Some pretty good 1911 handling in that movie too.
MARS ATTACKS has the General in the War Room blasting the head Martian with a pair of 1911s. (Slim Whitman saves the day.  )

Also, in 'Training Day' Didn't Hoyt shoot Alonzo (Denzel W.) with a 1911 that Alonzo pulled out from under the dash during their fight in the hood causing Alonzo to scream "Oh you mother-f....., you just shot me in the ass, Jake!"

James Coburn as Zach Provo in "The Last Hard Men" used a 1911 to shoot the phone off the wall. I've often wanted to do that myself.

Three of the movies mentioned prominently for good gun work so far are "Thief", "Heat", and "Collateral", all directed by Michael Mann (who also created "Miami Vice.")
"48 Hours", "Last Man Standing", and "Extreme Prejudice" were all directed by Walter Hill. Last edited by Taxvictim; 05-09-2007 at 05:50 PM.

Way of the gun-These guys actually reloaded their .45's
 Thief-James Cann took lessons on gun handling for the part. Its a long slide and he performs reloads as well. The TV series Crime Story now available on DVD.

Last Man Standing has to be the best "1911 movie".
A favorite movie featuring a 1911 - Commander, actually - is Marathon Man. A sort of goofie Hong Kong cop movie, called Double Tap, has virtually everyone packing a scoped racegun. The detective/hero is both the professional and competitive rival of a thrill-killing gunsmith! They turn the range command, "Are you ready?" into sort of a "Make my day!" theme.

Just now happen to be watching 'Red Dawn' and the first scene of the invasion of town had the 'they can have my gun when they pry it from my cold dead hands' bumper sticker on a truck next to some expired patriot that had been using his 1911 against the commies. Always a favorite show of mine.

 But all in all - the finest miniseries of its kind, hands down. It followed the book to a T. As far as A Few Good Men - I stand corrected. It was indeed a Beretta he killed himself with. It's just that, later in the movie, Tom Cruise's character mentions "nickel plated .45" when the gun was clearly not. I remember that it was a Hollywood gaffe as well. It's too bad nobody in the movie Desperado used a 1911. Instead, Antonio Banderas' character uses a pair of Ruger P-90's. I almost bought a P-90 because of that movie!!!
