Revision as of 21:21, 28 April 2011
Help! is the second full length feature starring the Beatles (John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr,) directed by Richard Lester, following A Hard Day's Night, also directed by Lester. Unlike their previous feature, which was more of a day-in-the-life mockumentary, Help! is much more of a spy spoof. In it, the Beatles, Ringo Starr in particular, are chased by a band of cultists from an unnamed eastern cult, because Ringo is wearing their sacrificial ring. The cult is joined by a mad scientists, who wants the ring so he can rule the world. They're chased across England, to Switzerland, and finally to the Bahamas before the end. Being a Beatles movie, several Beatles songs are mixed in between the action scenes.
The following guns were used in the motion picture Help! (1965):
Handguns
Webley Mk V
Professor Foot (Victor Spinetti) uses a Webley Mk V when he intervenes during the cultist assault on the Beatles' residence. Foot would later turn the revolver at the Beatles in order to get the ring off Ringo's finger. However, the revolver misfires and Foot had to make a hasty retreat.
Enfield No.2 Mk.1*
Professor Foot is later armed with an Enfield No.2 Mk.1* revolver with spurless hammer. (Maybe he couldn't afford that Luger.)
