This video from the Brownells vault explores the history and creation of the prop Remington Derringer used by the Schultz character in Quentin Tarantino's film "Django Unchained." On-set motion picture armorer Larry Zanoff guides the viewer through Independent Studio Services (ISS), a movie prop house. Zanoff debunks myths about Hollywood armorers and explains how the iconic double-barreled Remington Derringer, a model originally introduced in 1868, was adapted to fit the film's 1858 setting, detailing the collaborative process with director Quentin Tarantino to resolve this historical anachronism.
This video showcases an exhibition of arms and armor from popular movies like Hellboy, King Kong, The Last Samurai, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The exhibition was a collaboration with Weta Workshops and featured props and replicas from films where Weta supplied the weaponry and armor. It was held at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds.
