Talk:The Eagle Has Landed
M 9 "Bazooka"
They looked a lot like the German panxershreck to me. Any one ellse see the movie? Mandolin 02:23, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Those were M9s based on the sight and the launching mechanism. The Panzerschrek also has a blast shield around the sighting area which were "iron" sights whereas the M9 had a crude optical sight. Also you do see the 3.5" rounds used on the launcher as the rangers assault the town. --Charon68 21:20, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Ok. However, the shield is removable and the "stock" looks like that of the the Panzershreck. Look at this http://cohblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/800px-1670_-_salzburg_-_festung_hohensalzburg_-_panzerschreck_und_panzerfaust.jpg compare that to about 1:34:40 in the movie.
Did Jenny Agutter ever USE her shotgun?
I've been seeing this production still for a while, but I haven't seen the film in years.

- Did she hold it on Devlin when she confronted him at the end of the film? I don't remember that well either. --funkychinaman 08:46, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- She actually uses/holds it twice in the movie. The first time she kills Arthur, a local bully who she spurned and who was threatening to reveal Devlin's intentions, and the second time was when she confronted Devlin at the end. I have attached some screen caps. The only "complaint" I have with the movie adaptation was that, in the book, the fallschirmjager have Bren guns and a Jeep with an M2 .50 mounted and Devlin had a suppressed Mauser C96 as well as his own Sten. --Charon68 18:57, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
