Two Minute Warning is a 1976 thriller/disaster film directed by Larry Peerce and starring an ensemble cast including Charlton Heston, John Cassavetes, Martin Balsam, and Beau Bridges. The plot follows a mysterious gunman who appears at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum during Championship X (a thinly-disguised reference to Superbowl X) and the efforts of the police to stop him before he can cause mass panic.
The following weapons were used in the 1976 film Two Minute Warning:
Smith & Wesson Model 36
A referee fires a Smith & Wesson Model 36 to initiate play during the second half of the game.
Smith & Wesson Model 15
All LAPD officers, including Captain Peter Holly (Charlton Heston), are armed with Smith & Wesson Model 15 revolvers.
Remington 742
The sniper (Warren Miller) above the scoreboard at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum uses, according to LAPD Capt. Peter Holly (Charlton Heston), a "modified Remington 742". The rifle is fitted with a scope, an extended 30- round magazine, and is concealed within special pockets in the sniper's jacket.
