'''Philosophy of a Knife''' is a 2008 Russian-American horror movie. | '''''Philosophy of a Knife''''' is a 2008 Russian-American horror Z-movie, loosely based on the story of Japanese Unit 731. The film was critically panned due to its ultra-intense graphic violence and meaningless content, very little matching with real historical circumstances. | ||
''Note'': This movie was filmed in Khabarovsk, Russia, which likely influenced the choice of weapons shown in the movie. | |||

==Nambu Type 14== | ==Nambu Type 14== | ||
A | A rare appearance in a Russian movie, the historically correct [[Nambu Type 14]] is used by The Officer #1 (Tetsuro Sakagami) throughout the movie. In firing scenes, the muzzle flash is added through CGI, and the bolt never moves. | ||
Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that while the screen gun is obviously a late-model Nambu, part of the slide is taken from the early Nambu model. Most likely, the movie prop was partially broken and repaired with parts from other Nambu Type 14 pistols, or possibly even assembled from numerous heavily-damaged Nambus. | |||
Two Nambu Type 14s can also be seen in a gun closet. | |||

Philosophy of a Knife is a 2008 Russian-American horror Z-movie, loosely based on the story of Japanese Unit 731. The film was critically panned due to its ultra-intense graphic violence and meaningless content, very little matching with real historical circumstances.
Note: This movie was filmed in Khabarovsk, Russia, which likely influenced the choice of weapons shown in the movie.
The following weapons were used in the film Philosophy of a Knife:
Pistols
Nambu Type 14
A rare appearance in a Russian movie, the historically correct Nambu Type 14 is used by The Officer #1 (Tetsuro Sakagami) throughout the movie. In firing scenes, the muzzle flash is added through CGI, and the bolt never moves.
Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that while the screen gun is obviously a late-model Nambu, part of the slide is taken from the early Nambu model. Most likely, the movie prop was partially broken and repaired with parts from other Nambu Type 14 pistols, or possibly even assembled from numerous heavily-damaged Nambus.
Two Nambu Type 14s can also be seen in a gun closet.
Walther PP
The Officer #1 (Tetsuro Sakagami) briefly holds a Walther PP at one point.
Walther P88 Compact
A heavily anachronistic Walther P88 Compact can be seen in the hands of The Officer #1 (Tetsuro Sakagami) at one point.
Makarov PM
In firing scenes, The Officer #1's P88 switches to an also anachronistic Makarov PM.
Mauser C96 "Broomhandle"
The Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" can be seen in a gun closet.
Revolvers
Blow 38
The Officer #1 (Tetsuro Sakagami) inspects a Blow 38 in one scene.
Nagant M1895
A Nagant M1895 can be seen held by The Officer #1 (Tetsuro Sakagami).
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M91/30 Sniper Rifle
Imperial Japanese Army soldiers are armed with completely historically incorrect Mosin Nagant M91/30 Sniper Rifles.
Arisaka Type 38
Numerous Arisaka Type 38s can be seen in a gun closet.
Grenades
F-1 Hand Grenade
A F-1 hand grenade can be seen on the table of guns.
F1 Hand Grenade
A French F1 hand grenade can also be seen on the table of guns.
Other
The Gun Room
Numerous unknown guns can be seen in the gun room.
MS-1 Tank
The Imperial Japanese Army uses a Soviet MS-1 tank. According to the shape of the turret and especially the gun mounting, the actual MS-1 in the movie is an exhibit from the Museum of Russian Military History.
Archival Footage
Numerous footage from old movies, as well as old war photos and actual historical footage, can be seen.
