Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

The following guns were used in this film:

Webley Green

Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) uses a Webley Green revolver as his weapon of choice in this film. During the Plane Scene, he considers using it to shoot at the German Plane, only to find it with no ammo. Some internet sources claim that he uses a Webley Mk VI but that has been proven not true.

In this shot, we can see the 'birds head' grips of the Webley Green.

In this shot, we can see the distinctive rear sight and front sight of the Webley Green.

Two shots of Indiana Jones on horseback when he pulls his Webley Green, fires some shots and then realizes his gun is empty.

Supposedly he reloaded, because later on Indiana Jones uses the same Webley Green in the caves.

Walther P38

The Walther P38 is a very common weapon in this film, used by a large majority of the German Soldiers and Officers. It is also seen used by Indy during the Tank scene, using one to shoot 3 or 4 German Soldiers in a row.

Luger P08

A Luger P08 is the sidearm of Colonel Vogel (Michael Byrne).

Luger P08 9mm. This is a 1917 dated handgun, thus it is a World War One firearm.

Walther PPK

Walter Donovan (Julian Glover) carries a Walther PPK as his sidearm. He uses it to shoot Indy's Father (Sean Connery), in order to get Indy to retrieve the Holy Grail for the Germans. Somewhat ironic is the fact that Sean Connery carried the same Walther PPK as "James Bond" in the "007" films. Another weapon of this model is used by the female German Communications Officer that spots Indy and his father during the fire scene.

MP40

The German Soldiers in the Castle all use MP40 SMGs as their weapon of choice. Indy takes one from a German Officer and uses it to gun down the German Soldiers that threaten him and his father, he later drops it when Vogel holds Elsa Schneider (Alison Doody) at gunpoint, before she reveals her allegiance to the Germans. As the film is set in 1938 this would be an anachronism, but artistic license "could" be claimed by saying they are meant to depict the earlier MP38 (which would be less available as a prop). At least the use of MP28 & MP35 SMGs lends more accuracy than the universal use of MP38/40's in Raiders of the Lost Ark set in 1936

MP40 submachine gun - 9x19mm

Karabiner 98K

Another weapon used by the German Soldiers throughout the Film is the Karabiner 98k. K98 rifles are also used by the Cultists in the desert battle.

Bergmann MP35/I

When the Cultists attack the German Convoy looking for the Holy Grail, the German Soldiers are seen using Bergmann MP35/Is.

Haenel-Schmeisser MP28/II

During the Boat Chase scene in Venice, Kazim (Kevork Malikyan) attempts to use a Haenel-Schmeisser MP28/II to kill Indy and Schneider. Is is also seen with the receiver catch undone.

Villar-Perosa Mod 15

In the scene where Indy and his father escape the Zeplin, they are attacked by 2 German fighter airplanes. Indy's Father uses a Villar-Perosa Mod 15 mounted on the biplane to try and hold off the fighters, but accidentally shoots the biplane's tail - While the gun is clearly SUPPOSED to be a Villar Perosa Mod 15, the actual prop used was built by mating two upside-down Beretta Mod 38/42 submachine guns. This explains the straight magazines and why it really doesn't look too much like a Villar-Perosa.

Mauser C96

Kazim and his men use Mauser C96 pistols in Venice, most notably used to pistol whip Marcus Brody, knocking him out.

Model 24 Stielhandgranate

• German Soldiers use the Model 24 Stielhandgranate (Potato Masher) stick grenades against the Cultists.

Trivia Special

Republic of Hatay

• The "Republic of Hatay" did exist from 1937 to 1939. But was wrongly portrayed as an Arab Monarchy with a Sultan rather than Turkish as it was.

Vintage Tank

• A Mark VIII Liberty Tank was used and fitted with a top mounted turret.

Mark VIII Liberty Tank of Anglo-American origin.

Cinematography Goof: Position of the Sun

• When Indy is watching the German column in Hatay, they spot him when the sun glints off of his binoculars (an amateur mistake that Dr. Indiana Jones would probably not make), but when the camera goes to closeup of Indiana, his father and Sallah, the sun is to their backs, ergo, light reflecting off of Indy's binoculars would be impossible.

The Sun is facing the mountain where Indy is watching the Germans ....

Surprise! The Sun is now at their backs .....
