"Rocky" had a Carcano?

[LowThudd]

I was just watching "Rocky", and at 49 minutes in, there appears to be a Carcano of some type resting against the curtain in his appartment. Any one notice that before? Looks as though it may have been sporterized, but hard to tell, and I am not familiar with them.

Just curious if anyone else had noticed that, and what it is.

Someone mentioned it before I never looked. I think they show a WW1 trench knife too in his room.

Dam, I just deleted Rocky one(I'm on three right now), but that does sound familiar.

Aah. OK, thanks. So it seems all that was missing was the bayonet. Excellent.

Cool deal.

Just watching Rocky IV

In it character 'Paulie' has a jacket with a Gadsden Flag on the back at :52 minutes.

It really is horrible that the Gadsden Flag is now associated with extremism. I remember when I was young, the Gadsden flag was ubiquitous with California.

Very good eye, I never paid attention to it before.

I remember in Rocky IV you never get a good look at the AK's the Soviets have. This is in the era when an AK74 was impossible to acquire in the USA and AK47's had to be built up from Valmets for the movies until Chinese AK's started coming in around 1985 or so.
