Cutthroat Island is a 1995 adventure film directed by Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2), and starring Geena Davis and Matthew Modine. The film bombed at the box office, and drove Carolco Pictures, which had produced such hits as the first three Rambo movies, Total Recall, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, into bankruptcy and eventual liquidation.
The following weapons were used in the film Cutthroat Island:
Flintlock Pistol
The pirates and the soldiers used several types of Flintlock pistols.
Brown Bess Flintlock Musket
The characters in the film are mostly armed by Brown Bess Flintlock Muskets, which was introduced into service by up to fifty years later. In 1668 when the plot takes place primarily used Early Doglock and English (Jacobean) Lock Muskets, so it's an anachronism.
Blunderbuss
In the film occasionally occur also Blunderbuss muskets.
Swivel cannon
