Revision as of 16:27, 22 April 2014
Richard III is the 1995 film adaptation of the Shakespeare play starring Ian McKellen as the title character. Directed by Richard Loncraine, the film co-stars Annette Bening, Kristin Scott Thomas, Jim Broadbent, Robert Downey, Jr., and Nigel Hawthorne. Though the story remains faithful to Shakespeare's play about the ambitious and twisted Richard of Gloucester, the film's setting is an alternate 1930's Britain as Richard's evil plans to gain control of the English throne paralleled the rise of fascism in Germany and Italy under the rule of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, respectively. In keeping with the period of the film, the majority of the weapons and vehicles seen are somewhat consistent with the actual time period in history. The film was based on a successful stage version which also starred McKellen.
The following weapons were used in the film Richard III:
Pistols
Mauser C96
In both the opening and closing scenes, Richard of Gloucester's (Ian McKellen) weapon of choice is a "Broomhandle" Mauser pistol.
