Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (usually shortened to Dr. Strangelove) is a 1964 military satire directed by Stanley Kubrick (Full Metal Jacket) and stars Peter Sellers in three distinctive roles. In the film, mentally unstable US Air Force General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) decides to launch a preemptive nuclear strike on Russia to protect the "precious bodily fluids" of America: following the revelation that this strike will trigger a new Soviet "Doomsday device," the President of the United States and his council struggle to stop it.

The M1911 is taken out of the Survival Kit issued to the B-52 crew as Major Kong reads off the contents, including several comical-sounding but accurate items like nylon stockings and lipstick which were intended for trading with locals if the crew had to bail out over enemy territory. Of note is at the end of the sequence Kong says "shoot, a fella could have a good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff," but his mouth sounds out "Dallas."
