Two Minute Warning is a 1976 American thriller directed by Larry Peerce and starring an ensemble cast including Charlton Heston, John Cassavetes, Martin Balsam, and Beau Bridges. The plot follows a mysterious gunman who appears at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum during Championship X (a thinly-disguised reference to Super Bowl X) and the efforts of the police to stop him before he can cause mass panic.
When the film aired on US network television, the film was re-edited to add a heist subplot in order to tone down the violent nature of the original premise.
The following weapons were used in the film Two-Minute Warning:
A referee fires a Smith & Wesson Model 36 to initiate play during the second half of the game.
Remington 742
The sniper (Warren Miller) above the scoreboard at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum uses, according to LAPD Capt. Peter Holly (Charlton Heston), a "modified Remington 742". The rifle is fitted with a scope, an extended 30-round magazine, and is concealed within special pockets in the sniper's jacket.
M16
M16 (SP1) rifles are used by most members of the LAPD SWAT team, including Sergeant Chris Button (John Cassavetes). The rifles have the original three-prong flash hiders and 30 round magazines.
Remington 1100
Remington 1100 shotguns are carried by some LAPD SWAT officers.
IMI Uzi
An Uzi is pulled by SWAT Sgt. Chris Button (John Cassavetes) when he arrests a potential suspect in the stands.
