The Duel (Duelul)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Duel (Duelul) is a 1981 Romanian crime movie directed by Sergiu Nicolaescu and starring himself as Police Commissioner Tudor Moldovan. The story takes place in September 1939 in Bucharest, Romania. Commissioner Moldovan investigates several bank robberies that were carried by a gang of Rica Pasarin (Ion Ritiu) by order of businessman and pro-Nazi politician Grigore Maimuca (Colea Rautu). In order to find the criminal, Moldovan befriends Pasarin's younger brother, a street boy known as "The Kid".
The main character of the movie also appears in a serie of crime movies filmed in 1970s (The Duel is a prequel to A Police Commissioner Accuses (Un comisar acuza) and Revenge (Revansa)).
The following weapons are seen in the movie The Duel (Duelul):
Handguns
Smith & Wesson Military & Police
The personal weapon of Police Commissioner Tudor Moldovan (Sergiu Nicolaescu) is a Smith & Wesson Military & Police revolver.
Rast-Gasser M1898
When Tudor Moldovan (Sergiu Nicolaescu) visits a company of street childs, one of the boys tries to threaten Moldovan with an old Rast-Gasser M1898 revolver. Later this revolver is seen in hands of the gangster Rica Pasarin (Ion Ritiu).
Arminius HW-3
An Arminius HW-3 revolver is used by Rica Pasarin (Ion Ritiu) in one scene. This gun is anachronistic for 1939.
Unidentified revolver
Moldovan's assistant, subcommissioner Petrescu (George Mihaita) is seen with a snub nose revolver, supposedly a Smith & Wesson model.
Walther P38
The main weapon of Rica Pasarin (Ion Ritiu) and other gangsters are Walther P38 pistols. The story takes place in 1939 so it's highly unbelievable that Romanian criminals would have access to the most modern pistol of Wehrmacht.
Submachine Guns
MP40
During the second bank robbery several of Pasarin's men are armed with submachine guns that are supposedly MP40s which is anachronistic.
Shotguns
Sawn-off Double Barreled Shotgun
The criminals also use sawn-off double barreled shotguns.
