Theatrical Poster
Mr. Majestyk Richard Fleischer (Soylent Green Charles Bronson as Vince Majestyk, an ex-con and Vietnam veteran whose watermelon farm is threatened by small time mobsters. The original screenplay was written by Elmore Leonard (Last Stand at Saber River Jackie Brown
The following weapons were used in the film Mr. Majestyk :
Winchester Model 1200 Ranger Vince Majestyk (Charles Bronson ) is threatened by Bobby Kopas (Paul Koslo ) with a ribbed-barrel Winchester Model 1200 shotgun during an early scene of the film, though Majestyk quickly takes it from him and fires at a speaker fitted to Kopas' truck, Majestyk then places the shotgun in the trunk of Kopas' car. Later Majestyk has his own Winchester Model 1200 Ranger on a gun rack in his home, the shotgun lacks the ribbed barrel of the one used earlier but could be the same gun with the barrel switched by the film's weapon master. At one point, he gives the shotgun to Nancy Chavez (Linda Cristal) and asks her if she knows how to use it, to which she naively replies "...just point and pull the trigger, right?". During the film's finale Majestyk uses this shotgun to take down Frank Renda (Al Lettieri ) and his henchmen.
