Rolling Thunder is a classic 1970's revenge flick and one of the first major roles for Tommy Lee Jones. The screenplay was co-written by Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver , The Yakuza) and Heywood Gould (Fort Apache, The Bronx) from a story by Schrader. Sometimes referred to as a "Grindhouse" movie it actually had more effort put into it than many of the Grindhouse films from the 1970's. In actuality, much of the movie is more of a drama than the typical violence-filled revenge movie. Though a cult classic and a favorite of director Quentin Tarantino, the film only recently became available in the U.S. via the MGM Archive program. (As a result the screencaps are not of a very high quality as they were taken off of a 1984 VHS copy.)
The following firearms can be seen in Rolling Thunder (1977):
Handguns
Smith & Wesson Model 28
Major Rane (William Devane) carries as his Smith & Wesson Model 28 as his handgun of choice throughout the movie.
Smith & Wesson Model 19
One of the thugs that Rane (William Devane) is tracking uses a Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub Nose .
Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snubnose
Cliff ,a Texas Highway Patrolman, (Lawrason Driscoll) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snubnose when conducting an unauthorized investigation.
Model 1911A1 Government
Automatic Slim (Luke Askew), one of the thugs hunted by Major Ranes, (William Devane) prefers a Model 1911A1 Government Pistol.
Shotguns
Cut-down Double Barrel 12 Gauge Shotgun
Major Rane (William Devane) cuts down one of his 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotguns after losing his hand. The movie shows him working the weapon and practicing with it.
Winchester Model 1897 Shotgun
The Winchester Model 1897 is MSG Vohden's (Tommy Lee Jones) only weapon. But he's very effective with it. It's notable that he uses one of the 97 "Take-downs" and it is featured in the movie.
Remington 870
During some target practice Linda Forchet (Linda Haynes), the major's companion and partner, picks up his Remington 870 Field Gun and displays some shooting ability.
