Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (Zhizn i udivitelnye priklyucheniya Robinzona Kruzo) is a 1973 (filmed 1972) Soviet screen adaptation of Daniel Defoe's famous novel "Robinson Crusoe", directed by Stanislav Govorukhin and starring Leonid Kuravlyov.
The following weapons were used in the film Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (Zhizn i udivitelnye priklyucheniya Robinzona Kruzo):
Flintlock pistols, seen in the movie, turn out to be sawed-off and visually modified IZh-18 shotguns that often appear in Soviet films, depicting 17th-19th centuries. Robinson Crusoe (Leonid Kuravlyov) carries a pair of such guns. In the final scene he gives them to the captain (Evgeniy Zharikov) and the mate (Valentin Kulik) of the mutinous ship. Fake flintlock pistols are also seen in hands of the mutineers, including their leader, the ship's boatswain (Aleksey Safonov). The mockup pistols differ in the length of the handguards and the shape of the grips.
Robinson carries a long barreled gun with ornate handguard and buttstock. The flintlock seems to be genuine, although it lacks the flint and remains still when the gun fires. A similar long gun that is less elaborated is seen in hands of a mutineer.
Most mutineers, notably Will Atkins (Vladlen Paulus) and Jack Woodley (Vladimir Marenkov), are armed with relatively short mockup muskets. Some of these guns are fitted with Blunderbuss-like flared muzzles but not large enough for calling them real blunderbuss.
