Hawken .50+ caliber rifle referenced repeatedly in Jeremiah Johnson.
That movie started my backpacking journey as a kid. I didn't know much about guns then, but I was sure that the Hawken was the greatest rifle made in the early 19th century. Each one was handmade and ownership was a thing to be prized, even Teddy Roosevelt owned one.

Though more localized in Asia, the Beretta was showcased by John Woo's A Better Tomorrow in 1986, predating Lethal Weapon by almost a year.
Here's the iconic shootout with four 92FSs. Two placed in flower pots as reserves.

I have one (though mine is 45-70 and not 45-110). It is my most prized possession gun-wise.
I think I'd like to be buried with it.

The Beretta 93R was used ny Travolta in Broken Arrow. Just watched Thunderbolt and Lightfoot last night. The Broomhandle Mauser Schnellfeuer model was used in it.
