The Emerald Forest is a 1985 British adventure drama directed by John Boorman (Zardoz, Beyond Rangoon). Bill Markham (Powers Boothe) is an engineer who works on construction of a dam in Brazilian rainforest. When Bill takes his family on construction yard, his young son Tommy is lost in jungles. Bill finds out that Tommy was abducted by one of the local tribes, but only after ten years of unsuccessful search he has a chance to meet his son who becomes an adopted son of the chief of the Invisible People tribe.
Note: while the movie was filmed in Brasil, the weapons were provided by a British armorer Bapty & Co.
The following weapons were used in the film The Emerald Forest:

One of the brothel guards carries a briefly seen M1911-style pistol.
Shotguns
Remington 870 Police Folder

Single Barreled Shotgun
During the resque of slave women Carlos (Gracindo Júnior) and Rico (Arthur Muhlenberg) are armed with Single Barreled Shotguns. Single barreled shotguns are also used by Fierce People warriors.
