Revision as of 20:16, 20 June 2011
The Year of Living Dangerously is a 1982 film directed by Peter Weir about an Australian journalist (Mel Gibson) caught up in the tumultuous events surrounding the overthrow of Indonesia's President Sukarno in 1965. The film also stars Sigourney Weaver and Linda Hunt, and was shot in the Philippines and Australia.
The following weapons are seen in the film The Year of Living Dangerously:
Handguns
Colt M1911A1
An angry Indonesian soldier points a M1911A1 pistol at Guy Hamilton (Mel Gibson) and Pete Curtis (Michael Murphy) when they dance with local women at a bar.
Browning Hi-Power
One of the Indonesian agents pursuing Billy Kwan (Linda Hunt) in the climax is armed with a Browning Hi-Power.
Walther P38
Another agent uses a Walther P38 when he kicks down the door to Kwan's hotel room.
Submachine Guns
Sten
Sten Mk. III
Several Indonesian soldiers, most noticeably at the Jakarta airport and the road leading towards it, are armed with Sten Mk.III submachine guns.
Sten Mk. V
Other Indonesian soldiers carry Sten Mk.V submachine guns, distinguished by their foregrips and the pistol grips. However, the Stens lack the solid wooden buttstocks and have underfolding stocks instead.
M1928A1 Thompson
Guards at the presidential palace carry M1928A1 Thompson submachine guns.
PPSH-41
Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) militants brandish PPSh-41 submachine guns during a protest.
Madsen M50
A PKI militant sitting on a truck waves a Madsen M50 when it rams Hamilton's car during the protest. Later, an Indonesian soldier is also seen with a M50.
Rifles
M1 Carbine
M1 Carbines with 30-round magazines are carried by the guards escorting Hamilton through the presidential palace.
[[
Norinco Type 56
Most of the Indonesian soldiers in the film are armed with the Norinco Type 56, with and without the folding "pig-sticker" bayonets. A PKI militant who helps treat Hamilton after he is beaten by soldiers also carries a Type 56. In reality, Indonesian soldiers in 1965 would have used Soviet-supplied AK-47s rather than the Type 56.
AK-47
An Indonesian officer uses a genuine AK-47, distinguished by its open sights, to strike Hamilton when he refuses to stop walking towards the presidential palace after the coup d'etat attempt by the 30 September Movement.
M16A1
Indonesian soldiers fire M16A1 rifles at Hamilton and Jill when they drive through their checkpoint in defiance of a curfew. The use of the M16A1 is an anachronism since the Indonesian military only adopted the rifle in the 1970s, well after the period in which the film is set.
M1 Garand
U.S. Marine guards at the American embassy in Jakarta carry M1 Garand rifles. Later, several Indonesian soldiers surrounding the presidential palace during the coup attempt hold M1 Garands as well.
Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I
A single soldier carries a Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk. I rifle when Hamilton returns to the airport in the film's conclusion.
Machine Guns
BAR M1918A2
Soldiers surrounding the presidential palace carry the BAR M1918A2.
Browning M1919
Browning M1919 machine guns are mounted atop the M-41 tanks surrounding the presidential palace.
M60
A soldier is seen with a M60 machine gun in the conclusion of the film.
