Really. What are some great action movies where the good guy [or the bad guy] puts the 1911 to good (a lot of) use?

Best movie ever using 1911’s is “Last Man Standing” starring Bruce Willis, or my dad at the range.

It is one of Steven Segal’s favorite guns and he features it every chance he gets.

I think that Gary Cooper in “Sergeant York” had a few scenes with a 1911. A wonderful movie with a lot nuance. The contrasts between the back country up in the hollers religious faith and the strains of an arming America in WW1 are very well done!

The Survivors, Walter Mathau, Robin Williams, and Jerry Reed as the hitman with the .45. Great movie.

Well, .45 with Mila Jovovich... It’s the title of the film. It’s a hard film to like though.

I remember Jimmy cagney had pockets full of them in one of his gangster movies - empties them all and throws one at the end.
