The Emerald Forest: Difference between revisions
The Emerald Forest is a 1985 British adventure drama directed by John Boorman (Zardoz, Beyond Rangoon). Bill Markham (Powers Boothe) is an engineer who works on construction of a dam in Brazilian rainforest. When Bill takes his family on construction yard, his young son Tommy is lost in jungles. Bill finds out that Tommy was abducted by one of the local tribes, but only after ten years of unsuccessful search he has a chance to meet his son who becomes an adopted son of the chief of the Invisible People tribe.
Note: while the movie was filmed in Brasil, the weapons were provided by a British armorer Bapty & Co.
The following weapons were used in the film The Emerald Forest:
When Bill Markham (Powers Boothe) comes in brothel in attempt to help in resque the women of the Invisible People tribe, the owner's henchman disarms him of his Browning Hi-Power.
What appear to be a Smith & Wesson Model 27 is seen in hands of a local man when Tomme tries to sneak in the town.

Note again the high gloss and checkering on the top strap on the frame and barrel.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe local man fires at Tomme's canoe. The gap between the cylinder and the frame matches .357 revolver rather than .44 Model 29.
M1911-style pistol
One of the brothel guards carries a briefly seen M1911-style pistol.
During the resque of slave women Carlos (Gracindo Júnior) and Rico (Arthur Muhlenberg) are armed with Single Barreled Shotguns. Single barreled shotguns are also used by Fierce People warriors.
Bill Markham (Powers Boothe) uses the CAR-15 carbine during the confrontation with Fierce People tribe. Later it falls in hands of Chief Jacareh (Claudio Moreno). The carbine perfectly matches XM177E1 and fires full auto so it's possibly an original version rather than mocked up commercial Colt Carbine.
