Kill the "Jackal" (Ubit "Shakala")
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kill the "Jackal" (Russian: Убить "Шакала"; Ubit "Shakala") is the 1991 Soviet detective movie loosely based on Agatha Christie's novel Murder on the Orient Express (the first part is very close, but the second part is completely different from the original novel). An armed gang led by a mysterious crime boss, named the Jackal, robs a jewelry shop and kills a couple militiamen (Soviet policeman). A few days later, an unsolved murder is committed in the train Simferopol-Kiev. Militian detective Nikolay Alekseevich Petrov (Evgeniy Zharikov) soon realizes the relation between these two crimes, but any of the other passengers may be the Jackal.

Nagant M1895 (Mocked up as Webley Bulldog)
A Nagant M1895, modified to resemble a Webley Bulldog revolver is used by one of the Jackal's henchmen. The same gun previously used in Cabbages and Kings.
Submachine Guns
M1928A1 Thompson
One of the Jackal's gangsters fires a M1928A1 Thompson with 20-round magazine and buttstock removed at the film beginning.
Rifles
AKS-74U
Several Spetsnaz soldiers, as well as Jackal's gangsters, can be seen armed with the AKS-74U rifles.
Dragunov SVD
At least one Spetsnaz sniper fires a SVD.
AK rifle
An unknown AK-style rifle can be seen in the hands of one Spetsnaz soldier. It may be an AKM or an AK-74.
Trivia
Grenade
The Jackal tries to use a hand grenade at the film climax, but that was taken from him by Nikolay Petrov. Although it's most likely the F-1 or the RGD-5, there's no point to make a correct ID.
