Pardon Us is a 1931 prison comedy, and the first feature-length Laurel & Hardy film. The story focuses on the Duo's incarceration antics after concocting and selling their own home brew during Prohibition. Produced by Stan Laurel and Hal Roach, Pardon Us was originally titled "The Rap" and was to be a short spoof of MGM's hit The Big House, but was ultimately turned into a full-length feature after production kept increasing. Apparently so much weaponry was brought in for the film's climax that several different endings were filmed. It was also film four sperate times in different languages (French, Italian, German, and Spanish).
The following weapons were used in the film Pardon Us:
Handguns
Colt New Service
Towards the climax of the film, prisoners pass along bundles of Colt New Service revolvers, along with other weapons, under the mess hall tables in preparation for the prison break. During this tense moment, Stan and Ollie discover .38 special bullets hidden in their soup to arm the weapons.
M1911A1
Although brief, a National Guardsman can be seeing ushering his men into the prison with a M1911A1.
Rifles
Winchester 1892
Winchester 1892 repeating carbines seen, mostly in the background, being used by the prison guards.
M1903 Springfield
When the National Guard are called in, they march in shooting with M1903 Springfield rifles, all fixed with bayonets.
