Revision as of 21:06, 30 August 2010 by AdAstra2009 (talk | contribs)
The Keep was the second feature film direct by Michael Mann. It has gained something of a cult film status and many consider it a campy classic..
The following firearms are used in the 1983 film The Keep:.
MP40
Several of the German soldiers including Captain Klaus Woermann (Jürgen Prochnow) carry MP40 machine guns.
