Go Tell the Spartans is a 1978 American Vietnam War film directed by Ted Post (Magnum Force) and stars Burt Lancaster, Craig Wasson, and Marc Singer. Set during the United States' early involvement in the conflict, the film features Lancaster as Asa Barker, a grizzled US Army Major in charge of a small group of US Army advisers and local militia who has to juggle unreasonable army orders with local politics. Given only a limited release in 1978, it was overshadowed by two other Vietnam War films released in the same year, The Deer Hunter and Coming Home.
The following weapons were used in the film Go Tell the Spartans:
Cowboy (Evan C. Kim) is armed with a Colt Trooper Mk III that he keeps in a shoulder holster. Since this film is set in 1964, this is an anachronism, since the Mk III series wasn't produced until 1969.
