Solo Voyage (Russian title: Odinochnoye plavanye) is a 1985 military thriller directed by Mikhail Tumanishvili. It tells the story of a group of Soviet marines who are tasked with stopping a rogue American officer from launching nuclear missiles that would cause an international crisis. The film is notable for being the only Soviet movie to ever show the two superpowers fighting each other. While originally touted to foreign audiences as being the Soviet version of Rambo: First Blood Part II, the film is more slowly paced and slightly less cartoonish in its depiction of the enemy.
The following weapons are used in the film Solo Voyage (Odinochnoye plavanye):
Makarov PM
Soviet marine officers carry Makarov PM pistols. Major Shatokin (Mikhail Nozhkin) uses a Makarov when he lands on the island to search for the hidden American missile base, but drops it once he is surrounded by enemy soldiers.
Walther P38
American black ops soldiers use suppressed Walther P38 pistols when they attempt to kill Jack Harrison (Vitaly Zikora) and his wife Caroline (Veronika Izotova) after they witness a secret U.S. missile test.
Sa.24 Submachine Gun
The leader of a group of rogue American soldiers who surrounds the Soviet marines is armed with a Czech Sa.24 submachine gun.
M1 Carbine
Jack Harrison (Vitaliy Zikora) uses a M1 Carbine after he decides to help the Soviets stop the rogue soldiers.
AKS-47
The standard rifle of the Soviet marines is the AKS-47 rifle, as evidenced by the milled receiver, slab sided magazines and a downward folding stock (as opposed to the straight folding stock of the AKMS). The AKS-47 is used by two members of Major Shatokin's squad, first during hand to hand combat training and later when the squad assaults the American missile base.
AK-74
The AK-74 rifle is briefly seen in the hands of Soviet sailors when they land to assist the marines in removing casualties.
Heckler & Koch G3A3
The Heckler & Koch G3 rifle is used by many American soldiers throughout the movie. Major Shatokin picks up one from a dead Green Beret and uses it for most of the scenes in the missile base.
Sturmgewehr 44
Sturmgewehr 44 rifles modified to resemble M16s (the same as the ones featured in Piraty XX veka) are used by several American soldiers.
ZB26 Machine Gun
The Czech ZB26 machine gun is used by the Americans as their primary support weapon.
PKM Machine Gun
The PKM machine gun is used by Parshin (Nartai Begalin), a member of Shatokin's squad. He uses it to break up an American ambush and later to stop an attacking American patrol boat.
RPG-2
A slightly modified RPG-2 rocket launcher is used by both American and Soviet personnel. Major Shatokin uses a captured launcher to destroy an attacking American patrol boat.
[[Image:Solovoyage-RPG-3.jpg
Flare Gun
Jack Harrison fires a flare gun to attract the help of nearby Soviet forces after he and his wife are marooned on an island.
Kalashnikov bayonet knife
A Kalashnikov bayonet knife, most likely the version designed for the original AK-47, is used by the Soviet Marines in hand to hand combat training and later against American soldiers.
Trivia
- Although all the American characters are shown speaking English, all of the cast were either Russians, Latvians or Lithuanians.
- The movie received some assistance from the Soviet Navy, which provided Kara-class cruiser (Soviet designation is Project 1134B Berkut B) and 2 Osa-class missile boats (Project 205) which represented U.S Navy ships, presumably Pegasus-class hydrofoils. In addition, stock footage of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz was also used to depict American naval exercises in the Pacific.
