'''''Duck! You Sucker!''''' is a 1971 Western directed by [[Sergio Leone]] and stars [[James Coburn]] as a fugitive Irish explosives expert who escapes to Mexico to only find himself mixed up in another revolution. This film was released in the US under the title "Duck, You Sucker!", which is the literal English translation of the Italian title (which is "Giù la testa, coglione!"). However, it was subsequently re-released under the title ''A Fistful of Dynamite'' in order to capitalize on Leone's previous films. MGM would later release the film on DVD under the original title. ''Duck! You Sucker!'' was Leone's last western as well as his most overlooked film, mostly due to the movie being marketed as a comedy/satire of westerns, especially his earlier 'Man With No Name' trilogy.

Duck! You Sucker! is a 1971 Western directed by Sergio Leone and stars James Coburn as a fugitive Irish explosives expert who escapes to Mexico in 1913 only to find himself mixed up in another revolution. This film was released in the US under the title "Duck, You Sucker!", which is the literal English translation of the Italian title (which is "Giù la testa, coglione!"). However, it was subsequently re-released under the title A Fistful of Dynamite in order to capitalize on Leone's previous films. MGM would later release the film on DVD under the original title. Duck! You Sucker! was Leone's last western as well as his most overlooked film, mostly due to the movie being marketed as a comedy/satire of westerns, especially his earlier Man With No Name trilogy.



The following weapons were used in the film Duck, You Sucker!:


Handguns

Single Action Army

Juan (Rod Steiger) uses a Single Action Army Cavalry throughout the film, most notably to threaten John. It is also used by revolutionaries and the soldiers. A shorter SAA with a 4.75" barrel is also seen.

Astra 400

One of Juan's children is armed with an Astra 400 when they rob the stagecoach. John is also seen having it holstered various times through out the film. This weapon is anachronistic, as the Astra 400 was made in 1921, 8 years after the movie took place.

Walther P38

Col. Gunther Reza (Antoine Saint-John) uses a Walther P38 as his sidearm. Gunther can barely be seen holding a Walther P38 after the Mallory ambush and after the train is derailed. This is an anachronism, as the Walther P38 was introduced in 1938 and the film takes place in 1913, 25 years earlier.

Browning Hi-Power

A Browning Hi-Power is taken by John (James Coburn) from the governor Jaime (Franco Graziosi). This is an anachronism, since the Browning Hi-Power was introduced in 1935, and this film takes place in 1913, 22 years earlier.

Rifles

Winchester Model 1894

The Winchester Model 1894 is used by Mexican revolutionaries, as well as Juan's children.

During the ambush by the Mexican revolutionaries, they use two types of rifles, including several Winchester Model 1894s.

Mauser M43

At least one bandit and later the Mexican troops carry M43 Spanish Mausers throughout the film, likely as it was filmed in Spain. The M43 is likely meant to stand in for the Steyr-made M1912 short rifle used during the Mexican Revolution.

Machine Guns

MG 42

John uses an MG 42 with the buttstock removed to fire upon Ruiz's army column while they're on the bridge to great effect. However, this is an anachronism, since the MG 42 was introduced in 1942, and this film takes place in 1913, 29 years earlier.

Maxim MG08

Juan uses a Maxim MG08 alongside John during the canyon battle. When John gives him the command to fire, the weapon does not. He tries to tell John, but then it goes off and surprises him. When he regains control, he uses it to great effect. The weapon is also used in the film by revolutionaries and Mexican soldiers. It is also used in Reza's armored car.

Shotguns

12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
