Rolling Thunder is a classic 1970's revenge flick and one of the first major roles for Tommy Lee Jones. The screenplay was co-written by Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver , The Yakuza) and Heywood Gould (Fort Apache, The Bronx) from a story by Schrader. Sometimes referred to as a "Grindhouse" movie it actually had more effort put into it than many of the Grindhouse films from the 1970's. In actuality, much of the movie is more of a drama than the typical violence-filled revenge movie. Though a cult classic and a favorite of director Quentin Tarantino, the film only recently became available in the U.S. via the MGM Archive program. (As a result the screencaps are not of a very high quality as they were taken off of a 1984 VHS copy.)
The following firearms can be seen in Rolling Thunder (1977):
Handguns
Smith & Wesson Model 28
Major Rane (William Devane) carries as his Smith & Wesson Model 28 as his handgun of choice throughout the movie.
