| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Amphibian Man (Original title: Человек - амфибия, Chelovek-Amfibiya) is a Soviet 1961 science fiction adventure movie directed by Vladimir Chebotaryov and Gennadi Kazansky and based on the novel by Aleksandr Belyaev. In some South American country fishermen and pearl divers are frightened by the appearance of a mysterious underwater humanoid whom they call "Sea Devil". Soon it turns out that "Sea Devil" is a young man called Ichthyander ("fish-man"). As a result of experiment by Prof. Salvator, Ichthyander can breath both on land and under water. Once Ichthyander saves a drowning young woman Gutiérre and falls in love to her. But cruel Pedro Zurita, the owner of pearl-fishing company, wants to marry Gutiérre and to enslave Ichthyander...
The following weapons were used in the film Amphibian Man (Chelovek-Amfibiya):
Revolvers
British Constabulary revolver
Pedro Zurita (Mikhail Kozakov) carries a nickel plated revolver with pearl grips. It appears to be a British Constabulary, a Belgian-manufactured version of Webley RIC revolver.
Colt M1917 Revolver
Zurita's boatswain (Mikhail Medvedev) carries a Colt M1917 revolver.
Pistols
Browning Hi-Power
Policemen and prison guards carry Browning Hi-Power pistols.
Astra 600
Carlos (Stanislav Chekan), a prison guard, is armed with an Astra 600 pistol.
Shotguns
Winchester Model 1912
Baltazar (Anatoliy Smiranin) carries a Winchester Model 1912 during the hunt for Ichthyander.
Rifles
Karabiner 98k
Several prison guards are armed with rifles. They are seen very briefly but the general outlook allows to identify them as some Mauser model, most likely the Karabiner 98k.
Trivia
Holsters
One policeman carried the Browning Hi-Power in custom-tailored holster, which possibly to be originally intended for Steyr M1912 (judging by size of the pocket for spare clip), although it is cannot sayed for sure.
Carlos (Stanislav Chekan) carries his Astra 600 in holster for Nagant M1895.
Several prison guards carried the Browning Hi-Power pistols in holsters for Tokarev TT-33 (original holster of Browning Hi-Power looks very similar, but the TT-33 version is more likely), complete with what appears to be a shoulder-belt of the Soviet traffic police.
Some policemen carry what appears to be the ammunition pouches for Gewehr 98/Karabiner 98k, although they do not carry rifles.
