The Quest is a 1996 martial arts movie directed by Jean-Claude Van Damme (until 2014 his only directorial credit), who also stars as Christopher Dubois, a young American, who has to run away from New York, pursued by both mobsters and police. After long adventures Chris appears on a Siamese island where he is trained in martial arts. At last he became a participant of a tournament of best martial artists from all the world.
The following weapons were used in the film The Quest:
Handguns
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers with 4" barrels are seen in hands of Lord Edgar Dobbs (Roger Moore), Harri Smythe (Jack McGee) and some of Turkish smugglers during the boarding combat.
Colt New Service
During Chris Dubois' encounter with mobsters Riggi (Louis Mandylor) and one of his henchmen (Emilio Migliozzi) carry Colt revolvers, supposedly Colt New Service.
Smith & Wesson Model M&P
New York police officers carry what appear to be Smith & Wesson Model M&P revolvers when they pursue Chris Dubois. They are seen only in darkness.
Submachine Guns
M1921 Thompson
During Chris Dubois' encounter with Riggi's mobsters two of them are armed with M1921 Thompson SMGs.
Shotguns
Stevens Model 620
One of New York police officers carries a shotgun in Trench Gun configuration. Its general shape allows to identify it as Stevens Model 620.
Rifles
M1903 Springfield
M1903 Springfield rifles are used by both Dobbs' men and Turkish smugglers during the boarding combat.
Henry 1860
Henry 1860 (or mocked up Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy") rifles are used by several of Dobbs' men during the boarding combat with Turkish smugglers.
SKS
An SKS semi auto carbine, heavily anachronistic for 1925, is seen in hands of one of Dobbs' men during the boarding combat with Turkish smugglers. After the battle SKS is seen among captured rifles.
Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III*
Chris Dubois finds several Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* rifles hidden among the cargo on Turkish freighter.
Spencer 1860 Carbine
What appears to be the Spencer 1860 Carbine is used during the boarding combat.
Other Weapons
Model 17 Stielhandgranate
During the boarding combat one of the Turks throws a Model 17 Stielhandgranate hand grenade at Dobbs' men.
Trivia
Cannon
A naval cannon is mounted on Lord Dobbs' junk. Though it produces muzzle flame and smoke, it seems to be a mockup rather than a real gun.
