The Hijacking of Savoy (Pokhishchenie Savoi) (Russian Title: Похищение Савойи) is a 1979 co-production Soviet-Polish-Bulgarian adventure movie directed by Venyamin Dorman and based on a novel Flight 627 (Polish Title: Lot 627) by Andrzej Szczypiorski. The film tells about the adventures of the Polish schoolboy Janek and his Russian fellow traveler girl Tanya. The airplane on which they were traveling in Brazil was captured by a gang of drug dealers. This gang led by former Nazi criminals who use the income of drugs trade to support Neo-Nazi organisations in Europe.
The following weapons were used in the film The Hijacking of Savoy (Pokhishchenie Savoi):
Pistols
M1911A1
M1911A1 pistols are used by several of Scharf's henchmen, notably Borde (Luchezar Stoyanov), Magnus (Mikhail Zhigalov) and Jocker (Nartai Begalin). In the scene in the Paris airport, a French police inspector holds a nickel plated M1911A1 pistol.
Luger P08
Luger P08 pistols are widely used by Scharf's henchmen, notably Gido Torstensen (Aleksandr Mikhajlov), Scharf's second-in-command Max Abendrot (Algimantas Masiulis), Roggers (Olev Eskola) and Jocker (Nartai Begalin). Lugers, captured from bandits, are seen in hands of Jean Challot (Leonid Bronevoy) and Janek Borowski (Wlodzimierz Golacinski) during the escape from Scharf's plantation. Some of the pistols, used point-blank at actors, are deactivated by blocking of the barrels.
Browning Hi-Power
Scharf's aide Velt (Aleksandr Vokach) carries a Browning Hi-Power pistol.
Submachine Guns
Sten Mk II
Jocker (Nartai Begalin) and several other Scharf's henchmen use Sten Mk II submachine guns. In the final scene the crewmembers of the rescue helicopter also use Stens.
M1928A1 Thompson
M1928A1 Thompson SMGs are also used by Scharf's men and Brazilian police. During the escape Gido takes a Thompson from a car and hands it to Prof. Stanislaw Werzanski (Antoni Jurasz). In the final scene Heinrich Scharf (Mikhail Gluzsky) takes a Thompson from one of his henchmen. All Thompsons, seen in the movie, are converted for using MP40 magazines fitted for 7.62x25 blank cartridges.
Rifles and Assault Rifles
Sturmgewehr 44
Scharf's henchmen also use Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifles. During the escape, Gido Torstensen (Aleksandr Mikhajlov) takes a Sturmgewehr from disarmed "Red-bearded" (Anatoliy Serenko) and uses this gun in several shootouts.
Sturmgewehr 44 (Mocked-Up as AR-15)
Several Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifles, modified to resemble the AR-15, are used by Scharf's henchmen. Jean Challot (Leonid Bronevoy) fires a captured gun in several scenes. This is one of the first appearances of these rifles; for unknown reasons, they do not display the production M16s, but the early AR-15s, including a workable upper cocking handle ([1]).
M1 Carbine
Several of Scharf's henchmen hold M1 Carbines.
Muskets
A pair of muskets are seen on the wall in Scharf's house. They may be flintlock or percussion cap lock guns.
Shotguns
Double Barreled Shotgun
Two Double Barreled Shotguns are in Prof. Werzanski's luggage. During the march through the jungles, Gido Torstensen (Aleksandr Mikhajlov) takes one shotgun for himself and gives another gun to Prof. Stanislaw Werzanski (Antoni Jurasz).
Footage
During the opening credites footage photos are used to show the struggle against the drug trafficking and the activities of Neo-Nazi organisations in Western Europe.
Smith & Wesson Model 15
Heckler & Koch MP5
M1 Carbine
Iver Johnson Enforcer Pistol
Various rifles and shotguns
Trivia
In the Paris airport Janek and Tanya play the Duck Hunt electro-mechanical arcade shooter game. When Borde takes Tanya as hostage, Janek uses the shotgun controller to distract Borde with "gunshot" soung.
