Family guy episode "Brian's got a brand new bag" Toward the beginning there is a roadhouse homage in which a cartoon OTF is used.

Sean Connery uses what I think was a Bargeon in "Never Say Never Again." "Straight into Darkness" has an Italian style switch. There is another World War II movie that I have seen where a British soldier has an 11-inch picklock. Can't remember the name of the movie but it was made in the 60s and set in North Africa. I also remember show a that I saw on HBO in the early 80s where the character (Stacy Keach?) wields an OTF that he nicknamed "Geraldine." Can't remember the name of this one either. There is a Super Auto in "Sudden Impact." I also remember a modern US-made knife in U.S. Marshals," possibly a Benchmade. The female Russian agent in "From Russia with Love" has an OTF in her shoe. There is also a side opener in "Dr. No." "Fort Apache the Bronx" has several switchblade scenes. My apologies if I have named some that have already been listed. This list has gotten long!

In "Brannigan" (1975), John Wayne's character questions a man who then reaches into a drawer, grabs an Italian switchblade, snaps it open in Wayne's face and says, "This is what I answer questions with."

Hi All,
I just took a look at the list. It's about a yard long. It looks like at a movie a day it would take about a year to see them all.
Great list.
Thanks to everyone who's contributed,
John
