SKS and CZ58 appearances in the movies...

[temporalvision]

Loved the movie, but didn't love the fact that they were using Commiefornia friendly SKS's that had the bayonets removed....

Kinda killed some of the realism for me..... but then again, maybe bubba lives in Cambodia too...

There is one shot in that movie where there is an SKS that still has it's bayonet attached but other then that, I totally agree with you. Would have looked way better if they left all the bayonets on.

Last month I send one SKS Tapco stock (Dark Earth) for the movie RED with Bruce Willis

Saw part of that rediculous movie "Golden Compass" and the only redeemable points were the MosinNagants and the SKS's.

Also, a lot of the rifles used in "Red Dawn" were actually Vz58's.

That's odd, I thought they were Valmets.

The movie "Rescue Dawn" has almost nothing BUT the SKS and a few AK-47.
Great film. Check it out.
Here is a pic of Christian Bale in that movie. Look what gun he's holding.

I'll put it on my watch list.

Right now I'm watching LOST, so I'll keep eye on SKSes there. They have few cheapo AK there already.

SKS - Dark of the Sun

sks behind reba in tremors, not sure if it was used, one of the coolest scenes in movie history...

Yes, he did break into the wrong Gawd-damn rec room. And no, it didn't get used even when it made another appearance in Tremors 3, Back to Pefection.

It's neat to watch the series of movies and see how Micheal Gross as Burt Gummer gets more proficient at handling firearms. I almost bust a gut at Tremors 4 when we find out Burt Great-great-grandfather Hiram is very squeamish at the idea of handling a gun.

Olimpius Inferno / Олимпиус Инферно (Часть 1) this movie is about war in Georgia 2008, good movie. Last seen shows how farmer shoots Georgian Officer SKS is used as a rifle.
I have seen lots of Russian movies SKS hardly seen in hands of soldiers always civilians or hunters

 

[murat]

Oooo the movie is in parts on you tube

 

[bradley762]

There is a Sks sniper version in "The Siege of Firebase Gloria" with R. Lee Ermey

 

[temporalvision]

I just saw an episode of Myth-busters where they where running a bunch of test specifically on the SKS. They wanted to find out if vibrations from load speakers could set the gun off.
Here it is.

The answer is no.

duh.....

 

[Orion]

Evangeline Lilly with an SKS.

 

[blueflash]

We were soldiers. Im pretty sure I saw a few Charlies running after Mel Gibson with a SKS.

 

[maple_leaf_eh]

Mythbusters tried to prove that if you play a car stereo loud enough, loaded SKS rifles will fire from the vibrations. Kari, Grant and Who'its could not make any of 5 or 6 mixed SKSs fire even at 160db. Busted. So they made a fake living room and blew it up with C4. One of the rifles snapped a cap. Confirmed. http://mythbustersresults.com/episode-122-thermite-vs-ice

 

[outoftowner]

I think it was in brotherhood, that new movie out there were quite a few sks's. Except alot looked like chinese ones, spike bayonet with that matte brown wood.

Yeah. SKSs were in it a lot, but not in very many close up scenes and most of the time the guys carrying them were behind the guys with AKs.

80's spy movie "The Amateur", a Canadian film, filmed mostly in Ontario, about a CIA analyst whose wife (fiance? I forget), gets killed in a hostage taking and he goes out looking for revenge, comlicated by the fact that he blackmails the CIA into letting him, and it turns out that the bad guy is a CIA informer. Not a bad movie!

...anyway, the female terrorist uses a VZ-58 in the hostage scene.

 

[styles828]

Team America. One of the guards outside the durkadurka base has one. (SKS)

 

[gunnie1983]

SKS In Movie

Seen an SKS in the begining of "we were soldiers"

 

[Perple_Nerple]

One of the best shows ever!!!

Arrested Development!

The Iraqi's are using VZ58s while being trained by American personnel.

^ pretty sure this was from the movie 'The Kingdom'

Also pretty sure that when they are rampaging through the apartment building looking for their buddy Jamie Fox has an 858 that seems to have unlimited ammo.
