During her quest, she is assisted by Jack Colton (Michael Douglas), a bird smuggler. The film was directed by Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future) and the cast included Danny DeVito and Zack Norman. Douglas, Turner and DeVito would later reunite for the 1985 sequel The Jewel of the Nile.

Shotguns

Jack Colton (Michael Douglas) carries a left-handed Remington 870 Wingmaster shotgun with shortened barrel as his main firearm in the film. (Michael Douglas himself is not left-handed.) In the first scene featuring the shotgun he fires it nine times without reloading, even though the gun does not hold that many rounds.

A nickeled Smith & Wesson No.3 Russian Model is used by Juan (Alfonso Arau) when Jack and Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) go to his villa.

Valmet M71S
The Valmet M71S rifle (standing in for a Kalashnikov Variant) is seen used by Zolo's Men & Ira's Men.

Unknown Bolt-action rifle
