Extreme Prejudice is a 1987 action film starring Nick Nolte as a "stone-age" Texas Ranger who takes on an old nemesis as well as a rogue Special Forces unit. The film was based on a story co-written by John Milius (Red Dawn) and was directed by Walter Hill (Red Heat). The final shootout is somewhat reminiscent of the last stand in Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch. To ensure authenticity, the producers also hired Texas Ranger Joaquin Jackson as a consultant and Nolte closely patterned his character and his weaponry after him.
The following weapons were used in the film Extreme Prejudice:
A Colt Commander with custom grips is the sidearm carried by Texas Ranger Jack Benteen (Nick Nolte) in the film. In fact, this was the main service sidearm of real-life Texas Ranger Joaquin Jackson, who was the inspiration for Nolte's character. Nick Nolte bought a .45 Colt Commander, just like the one owned by Jackson, including the custom grips and also an identical holster to carry the gun, to use it in the film. However, in his autobiography "One Ranger", Jackson remembers that the .45 Commander was not reliable with blanks. Therefore, a 9mm Colt Commander was used instead. Nolte spent several weeks with Jackson to model his character after him. During that time, Nolte was with Jackson for his annual gun qualification. Nolte also shot targets himself and passed Ranger standards.
Sgt. Charles Biddle (Larry B. Scott) uses a Beretta 92F during the final shootout. Much like Lethal Weapon (1987) and Die Hard (1988), this is one of the first films to feature the new 92F model.
Pearly Grips (Sam Gauny) is seen with a pearl-gripped Smith & Wesson Model 10 tucked in his waist band, after the shooting between T.C Luke and Benteen.
The MAC-10 is the weapon of choice for the special unit. MSgt. Larry McRose (Clancy Brown), Maj. Paul Hackett (Michael Ironside) and SSgt. Declan Patrick Coker (Matt Mulhern) all start with one during the final shootout. Maj. Paul Hackett has the only one fitted with a suppressor.
Jack Benteen (Nick Nolte), MSgt. Larry McRose (Clancy Brown) and Lupo (Luis Contreras) use Remington 870s in the film. Jack Benteen's 870 has a full stock and no magazine tube extension. MSgt. Larry McRose's 870 has a factory folding stock with magazine extension. Lupo's 870 has the wood stock sawed to a pistol grip and sports a magazine extension also. Despite carrying it throughout the film he is never seen firing it.
Sheriff Hank Pearson (Rip Torn) uses a Winchester Model 1897 shotgun in the film. Joaquin Jackson claimed the shotgun actually belonged to the actor. Jack also uses the shotgun.
After the apprehension of SSgt. Declan Patrick Coker and Sgt. Buck Atwater, Ithaca 37 shotguns are seen in the Sheriff's office armory. Deputy Purvis (James Lashly) is seen with one when standing guard.
