No problem. Did that knife make any other appearances in the movie? I just scrolled though it on YT and I happened to find that scene. I've seen that movie before but I can't remember if there were any other scenes with the knife.

Alain Delon uses in Le Gitan (1974) a very large folding pig sticker. I tough first it is an automatic, unfortunalty it isn't but still very impressiv knife.

A Leverletto spotted in A Night In Old Mexico starring Robert Duvall. You couldn't make out the scale material but the guards identified it and you could make out Leverletto on the blade.

Lol, I wondered about that too. But I just checked out the trailer and it looks like it takes place in modern times.

Also, if it did take place a long time ago, they would have just called Old Mexico "Mexico".

I just saw Sin City: A Dame to Kill For today and Powers Booth snaps open an 11" Stiletto and threatens Jessica Abba's throat with it. The funny thing is then he steps back, there's a sharp click and the knife closes. Obviously they reversed the film, and it's based on a graphic novel so you can do anything. However, I found it off putting. I mean, please, don't the armorers have a clue or did the director just overrule them. BTW Eva Green looks really nice in just skin.

I just saw Sin City 2 also (great movie, it's a shame it's doing so poorly). There were actually two Italians. When Joseph Gordon Levitt first goes to the poker room, the guard searches him and takes an Italian off him. That might have actually been the same Italian as we later saw Powers Booth with as the guard might have given it to him after he took it from Levitt.

God bless French actresses. How many American A-Listers would do 90% of their scenes in nothing but earings?

Watched This Gun For Hire (1942). In the first minutes Alan Ladd uses a small American pushbutton to open a letter and then intimidate his adversary

Just watched Some Came Running (1958). The bad guy sticks Dean Martin in the shoulder with a large lever lock. Frank Sinatra takes it away and throws it at the guy.

In the Rockford Files episode "Return of the Black Shadow," Bo Hopkins opens and closes an 11-inch Rizzuto switchblade.

A buddy of mine was telling me about an adult cartoon called Archer,he said I needed to check it out.
I was actually very impressed,it's very clever and funny. They are some kind of undercover spy group.
Well I did a screen save where the main guy has a switch- (one heck of a safety slide) 8)

I like it when they have cartoon switchblades where the artist clearly used a model to draw it.
