Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man is a 1991 action film set in the then future year of 1996, where a former rodeo rider (Don Johnson) and an outlaw biker (Mickey Rourke) get together to find a way to save the Burbank bar of an old friend. The film was directed by Simon Wincer.
The following weapons were used in the film Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man:
Harley Davidson (Mickey Rourke) obtains a Desert Eagle Mark VII near the beginning from the thug holding up the gas station. He then gives it to Marlboro (Don Johnson) as a birthday present, who uses it throughout the rest of the movie. Marlboro identifies it as a .44 magnum Desert Eagle.
Harley Davidson (Mickey Rourke) obtains a Ruger Super Blackhawk near the end of the movie and uses it in the final battle. It is rumored that the weapons in the film are converted to .454 Casull, but this is unclear (see 'Trivia' section below).
After his Steyr AUG is empty, Alexander (Daniel Baldwin) draws a stainless Ruger Redhawk revolver and takes Marlboro Man hostage with it. Marlboro later gets ahold of the Redhawk.
All the Kevlar Trenchcoat-wearing henchmen including their leader Alexander (Daniel Baldwin) carry Steyr AUGs with 16" barrels (versus the standard 20").
John Taffin mentions in one of his books ("big bore handguns" or "big bore sixguns") that the Ruger used in the movie was customized by gunsmith Andy Horvath. It seems that someone from the movie's crew read an article by Taffin about his own Ruger, built by Horvath. The producers tried to Borrow Taffin's revolver but he declined and suggested them to contact Horvath. The gunsmith then built several revolvers for the movie and (reportedly) for Don Johnson's and Mickey Rourke's personal use. It is doubtful that the revolvers used in the movie were actually converted to .454 Casull.
