Movie Switchblades

[BTB0923]

There's a cartoon side-opener in Beavis and Butthead Do America...

[BTB0923]

Can anybody think of any more giallos, cannibal films, or anything from the British "nasties" list?

nuh-uh...

But I spotted a swing guard on The Rockford Files... No title on the episode, I didn't come in that early. It's an episode with Jim vs. a psychic working the same case. He takes the psychic to see a gang of toughs, and one pulls a switch and then tosses it into a door.

The killer crashes a nice yellow Jag while trying to kill Jim toward the end.

There's some kind of swinguard in While The City Sleeps (1956)...

[BTB0923]

There was an episode of the show Deadliest Warrior that pitted the the Jesse James' gang against Al Capone's gang. One of the featured weapons was a stiletto...

[BTB0923]

This next one is another giallo. There is a switchblade in it, but I'm pretty sure it only appears once in the movie and you can only see the blade. It looks like it's probably an Italian-style stiletto. "La Corta Notte Dell Bambole Di Vetro" aka "Short Night of the Glass Dolls"...

I was watching an ols episode of 'IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT" and there was a scene where two bad guys killed a another bad guy with some type of side opener but it was really hard to see what it was .kinda looked like a protech godfather style but i am not sure if those were made then or not. did not get the episode title sorry

Nice one! That's a flat grind/swedge bladed Rizzuto, my favorite type of Rizzy. Hard to tell, but it could be a lockback. It's probably just a button open/close though. The name of the episode is The Oracle Wore a Cashmere Suit...

[BTB0923]

There's a Rizzuto clone in Internal Affairs...

Bob Hope's movie "My Favorite Brunette" has an old American auto that shows up several times in the movie. The guy that uses it is the same actor that played the professor's side kick in "20,000 Leauges Under the Sea."

Great stuff BTB!! I don't know where you get all this! About the "Rockford Files" clip/pics...that's a lockback rizzy for sure (double pins on topside of rear scale). First I've ever seen a lockback on film or tv, quite exciting!! There's a sharperdeal forum member with a black one just like it. I'll have to track him down and tell him about this posting.


There's a 13" transitional stiletto in the Craven-inspired Italian film "Last House on the Beach"

[BTB0923]

Cool! Now that you mention it I see another tell-tale lockback characteristic...the button is located right in the middle of the front scale instead of 2/3 the way up like on a button o/c.

[BTB0923]

Silent Night, Deadly Night...

[BTB0923]

Another giallo to add to the list, "Perche Quelle Strane Gocce Di Sangue Sul Corpo Di Jennifer" aka "What Are Those Strange Drops of Blood Doing On Jennifer’s Body?" aka "The Case of the Bloody Iris"...

So I'm using the Ace Merrill .gif as my avatar on another board, but that Silent night, Deadly night .gif has to be the sickest/coolest/twistedest thing I've seen. Santa poppin a switch.... and with "authoritah!"
