Cannibal Holocaust is a 1980 Italian-Colombian found footage mockumentary cannibal film directed by Ruggero Deodato and starring Robert Kerman.
When an American film crew looking to shoot a documentary on the indigenous tribes of the Amazon rainforest, a rescue mission is dispatched, but finds only the group's film reels. When the footage is examined, what is found is a shocking descent into depravity, all in the name of sensation.
Cannibal Holocaust is considered one of the most controversial films in history due to the unprecedented levels of graphic violence depicted, leading to the arrest of director Ruggero Deodato on suspicion that actual murders were committed and filmed. Although Deodato was able to prove no murders were actually committed in the film, the film still contains graphic depictions of sexual violence, actual, brutal killings of animals, and cast and crew forced to take part in numerous distressing scenes and dangerous stunts. The film was swiftly banned or heavily censored in several countries. Despite the controversies, Cannibal Holocaust has since gained a cult following and is noted for its novel filming style and storytelling structure, which was designed to give it an air of gritty realism. The film is also considered one of the earliest in the found footage genre, which would later be popularized by films such as The Blair Witch Project that use similar stylistic choices.
The following weapons were used in the film Cannibal Holocaust:
Revolvers
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Professor Harold Monroe (Robert Kerman) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 10 during his stay in the Amazon jungle.
Submachine Gun
IMI Uzi
Colombian soldiers use theIMI Uzi. One is used to execute some members of the Shamatari tribe.
Beretta M12
in the introduction of the fictional documentary The Last Road to Hell, some soldiers are seen with a Beretta M12.
Note: According to director Ruggero Deodato, the clips shown in The Last Road to Hell are real recordings from Nigeria and Southeast Asia, therefore the weapons shown are not replicas or props.
Rifles
Heckler & Koch G3
In the introduction of "The Last Road to Hell", soldiers use several Heckler & Koch G3s to execute people.
M1 Carbine
Several Colombian soldiers carry M1 Carbines during the ambush on the natives.
Winchester Model 70
A Winchester Model 70 without a scope is used by both Mark Tomaso (Luca Barbareschi) and one of Monroe's guides at the beginning of the film.
It is typically inadvisable to point any firearm directly at the eye, Chaco at least does the highly recommended step of unloading the weapon before anything.
Shotguns
Winchester Model 1400
Chaco (Salvatore Basile) carries a Winchester Model 1400, which is also used by the film crew when they are in the Amazon jungle. In both cases, it is never fired.
Other
Orion Flare Gun
Alan Yates (Carl Gabriel Yorke) uses an Orion Flare Gun to try and scare off the vengeful Yanomamo tribe.
