The Emerald Forest is a 1985 British adventure drama directed by John Boorman (Zardoz, Beyond Rangoon). Bill Markham (Powers Boothe) is an engineer who works on the construction of a dam in the Brazilian rainforest. When Bill takes his family to the construction site, his young son Tommy is lost in the jungle. Bill finds out that Tommy was abducted by one of the local tribes, but only after ten years of unsuccessful searching does he have a chance to meet his son, who has become the adopted son of the chief of the Invisible People tribe.
Note: while the movie was filmed in Brazil, the weapons were provided by British armorer Bapty & Co.
The following weapons were used in the film The Emerald Forest:
Handguns
Browning Hi-Power
When Bill Markham (Powers Boothe) comes to a brothel in an attempt to rescue some women of the Invisible People tribe, the owner's henchman disarms him of his Browning Hi-Power.
Ruger Speed Six
The brothel owner's henchman uses a Ruger Speed Six revolver during the rescue of the slave women.
Smith & Wesson Model 27
What appear to be a Smith & Wesson Model 27 is seen in hands of a local man when Tommy tries to sneak into the town.
M1911-style pistol
One of the brothel guards carries a briefly seen M1911-style pistol.
Shotguns
Remington 870 Police Folder
Bill Markham (Powers Boothe) disarms one of brothel guards and uses his Remington 870 Police Folder.
Single Barreled Shotgun
During the rescue of the slave women, Carlos (Gracindo Júnior) and Rico (Arthur Muhlenberg) are armed with Single Barreled Shotguns. Single barreled shotguns are also used by Fierce People warriors.
Double Barreled Shotgun
In the same scene Paulo (Chico Terto) is armed with a Double Barreled Shotgun.
Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun"
A Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun" is seen in the hands of a henchman.
Rifles
Lee-Enfield Sporterized Rifle
In one scene, a native hunter carries a sporterized Lee-Enfield rifle.
Bolt action hunting rifle
Bolt action hunting rifles are briefly seen in several scenes.
Assault Rifles
CAR-15
Bill Markham (Powers Boothe) uses the CAR-15 carbine during the confrontation with Fierce People tribe. Later it falls into the hands of Chief Jacareh (Claudio Moreno). The carbine perfectly matches an XM177E1 and fires full auto, so it's possibly an original version rather than a mocked up commercial Colt Carbine.
AKS-47
Rico (Arthur Muhlenberg) captures an AKS-47 from the brothel guards. The AK is seen in hands of Bill Markham (Powers Boothe).
