The Seven-Ups is a 1973 Crime-Drama starring Roy Scheider as the head of a unique unit of the NYPD called the Seven-Ups (Named so because all the criminals they catch get seven years or more in prison). The film is notable as being the only film directed by Philip D'Antoni, producer of Bullitt and The French Connection. Because Scheider played a detective named Buddy in this film as well, many have confused this film as a continuation of The French Connection, which it is not.
The following weapons were used in the film The Seven-Ups:
Handguns
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Buddy Manucci's (Roy Scheider) main weapon in the film is a 5 shot Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolver. In one scene, he unrealistically fires 8 shots from it. The grips appear to be the Herret Shooting Stars model. Herret was a semi-custom grip maker out of Twin Falls, Idaho for many decades and very popular with knowledgeable shooters.
Smith & Wesson Model 36 (Nickel)
Another Seven-Up, Barilli (Victor Arnold) keeps a nickel version of the Smith & Wesson Model 36.
Smith & Wesson Model 27
Moon (Richard Lynch), a kidnapper, carries a snub nosed Smith & Wesson Model 27, using it to fatally shoot Carmine Cotello (Lou Polan).
M1911A1
Although the other Seven-Ups use Smith & Wesson Model 36s, Mingo (Jerry Leon) uses a M1911A1 as his sidearm.
FN Model 1922
A kidnapper is briefly seen inspecting an FN Model 1922 outside Kalish's house.
Smith & Wesson Escort
Ansell's (Ken Kercheval) sidearm is a nickel plated Smith & Wesson Escort with wood grips.
Colt Detective Special
At the end of the movie during a climactic shootout Buddy's (Roy Scheider) Smith & Wesson Model 36 becomes a Colt Detective Special momentarily then changes back.
Shotguns
Double Barreled Shotgun (Sawn-Off)
The kidnapper Bo (Bill Hickman), best remembered for being the stunt driver in Bullitt and The French Connection, keeps a Sawn off Double Barreled Shotgun, which he most memorably uses to murder Ansell (Ken Kercheval), a seven-up.
Double Barreled "Coach" Shotgun
In addition to his Model 36, Barilli (Victor Arnold) keeps a Double Barreled "Coach" Shotgun.
