Silver Streak
Theatrical Release Poster
The following weapons were used in the film Silver Streak :
Colt Detective Special (1st generation) FBI agent Bob Sweet (Ned Beatty ), posing as a vitamin salesman on the Silver Streak, carries a first generation Colt Detective Special in a waist holster. He gives it to George Caldwell (Gene Wilder ), but Caldwell drops it while climbing outside the baggage car. Caldwell later grabs the Detective Special that the villian, art dealer Roger Devereau (Patrick McGoohan ), keeps in his holster. After Caldwell fires all six shots during the baggage car shootout (causing the trigger to continuously "click" empty), Grover Muldoon mocks him, asking if he thought he was in a Western. Chief Donaldson (Len Birman) carries a Detective Special as well, firing it at the junction shootout with Devereau's men.
