Deacons for Defense: Difference between revisions
Deacons for Defense is a 2003 Showtime movie that was inspired by a true story of a group of African American citizens of Bogalusa, Louisiana, who took up arms to protect themselves from the KKK and the local law. The film stars Forest Whitaker, Jonathan Silverman and Ossie Davis and was directed by Bill Duke. Although set in the Deep South, the movie was actually shot in Ontario using many Canadian actors.
The following weapons were used in the film Deacons for Defense:
Marcus Clay (Forest Whitaker) is seen with a Luger P08. Since Marcus is a World War II veteran who served in the European theater, it's possible this is a war trophy he picked up.
Both a KKK member and a Deacon carry High Standard Flite King shotguns. The shotgun was taken from the KKK member by the Deacon during their first confrontation. This is anachronistic, as the Flite King was released in 1966, two years after when the film is set
The Deacons pick up several crates of military weapons from New Orleans longshoremen, including several M16A1 rifles. In a continuity error, many Deacons are seen with M16s prior to this.
Marcus is also seen with an original slab-sided M16s.
