'''The Thin Red Line''' is a 1998 World War II film directed by Terrence Malick and is the second movie adaptation of the James Jones novel (the first being a [[The Thin Red Line (1964)|1964 film of the same name]]). The film is a fictional account of the US Army's fight to capture an entrenched Japanese position during the Battle of Guadalcanal in World War II. The film was shot in Queensland, Australia. One of the notable characters in the film is Cpt. Staros ([[Elias Koteas]]), an intelligent, sensitive Army captain who refuses to send his men to their certain death on a futile frontal assault on a fortified Japanese position, which puts him at odds with the ambitious Lt. Col. Tall ([[Nick Nolte]]). Another notable characters include the cynical and shrewd 1st. Sgt Welsh ([[Sean Penn]]), Pvt. Bell ([[Ben Chaplin]]) who is heavily devoted to his wife, and Pvt. Witt ([[Jim Caviezel]]), a deserter who hates the Army, but loves the men of Charlie Company enough to rejoin them during the battle. Despite the film's seven Academy Award nominations, this film is often overlooked because it was released in the same year as ''[[Saving Private Ryan]]''.

'''The following weapons were used in the film ''The Thin Red Line'':'''

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] is the primary rifle of Charlie Company in the film and is used by Pvt. Witt ([[Jim Caviezel]]), Pvt. Bell ([[Ben Chaplin]]), Pvt. Coombs ([[Matt Doran]]), Pfc. Beade ([[Nick Stahl]]), Pvt. Ash ([[Thomas Jane]]) and Pfc. Doll ([[Dash Mihok]]).

Pfc. Doll ([[Dash Mihok]]) steals an [[M1911A1]] hanging from a bunk in the ship carrying Charlie Company to the island.

Basically every other US soldier also has an M1911A1 as their sidearm, although only few soldiers such as Sgt. Gaff ([[John Cusack]]) are seen using them.

==MK II Hand Grenade==
Several US soldiers are seen using [[Mk 2 hand grenade|MK II Hand Grenades]] in the film. At one point we see Sgt. Keck ([[Woody Harrelson]]) straightening the folds on the pin of his grenade, which proves to be a fatal mistake on his behalf when the pin pulls too easily while still attached to his belt.

==MK II Hand Grenade==
Several US soldiers are seen using [[Mk 2 hand grenade|MK II Hand Grenades]] in the film. At one point we see Sgt. Keck ([[Woody Harrelson]]) straightening the folds on the pin of his grenade, which proves to be a fatal mistake on his behalf when the pin pulls too easily while still attached to his belt.

==Nice job!==

It looks really great! This movie really deserve a more complete page, and now it has one. Wonderful -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]
:Thanks, it's been sitting at the bottom of my DVD pile for a long time but I finally got it done. I also have [[The Jackal]] coming up, as well as making [[Flags of our Fathers]] look good. I also have [[The Last Boy Scout]] and [[The Mask]], so I'll be busy this month. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::I think you should be commended for sitting through this. I tried once and left with the impression that the movie is actually longer than the war it was based on. [[User:Vangelis|Vangelis]] 12:56, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

== Type 92 HMG ==

Judging by the shape (and position, for that matter) of the grips, most or all of the photos purported to show the Type 92, would actually appear to show the earlier Type 3 HMG. Also, the examples illustrated do not have the conical flash hiders that Type 92 usually have.[[Special:Contributions/172.190.41.77|172.190.41.77]] 00:07, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

I know the armourer for this movie and have fired that particular gun. Its a Type 3 converted to fire 7.62mmx51 blanks (for a readily available supply of blank ammo) [[User:Avatar|Avatar]] 09:52, 8 May 2012 (CDT)

== The Death of Keck ==

Keck blows his own butt off by pulling a grenade by the pin, I get that, but if the safety lever (the spoon) is free to fly off and arm the grenade, how does the grenade remain attached to Keck's person? It is my understanding that grenades were worn by inserting the safety lever of a grenade into loops on a soldier's webbing or belt. Were that the case, Keck's grenade should have dropped to the ground before exploding. Regardless, he shouldn't have played around with the pin.[[Special:Contributions/207.200.116.132|207.200.116.132]] 01:20, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

== M1928A1 Thompson ==

Judging from the sights it's actually an M1928 Thompson. [[Sangheili1155]]
