John Wayne's New Machine Gun | McQ | Warner Archive

McQ (1974) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #McQ

Two slain officers lie in pools of blood on the street. There's no pattern to the killings and police are confused and scared. Only after gunshots splatter his partner across a back alley and Detective Lon McQ himself narrowly escapes death does the bloody rampage make sense. Now McQ knows whom to go after. John Wayne thunderously enforces the law in a high-velocity thriller that's like a big-city revenge Western on wheels. Directed by action master John Sturges (The Great Escape, The Magnificent Seven).

Directed By John Sturges
Starring John Wayne, Eddie Albert, Diana Muldaur

You know it’s a good gun shop when you get invited to see what’s in the back!

[thelastjohnwayne]

Do you see all the Ammo on those the good old days

[douglashaussler]

The store this was filmed in, the front not the backroom, was Warshals Sporting Goods in Seattle (closed in the mid-1990s) My mom worked upstairs in accounting when they came in to film

A 9mm PS MAC-10 was my first MG. When I saw McQ as a teen, I said I'd have one some day. John Wayne was a great salesman.

I like how the “silencer” doesn’t make it quiet like in newer movies. Just quiet enough that it doesn’t make their ears bleed.

"Lon, it's not licensed." "Jack ... neither am I."

"Lon, it's not licensed!"
"Jack, neither am I!" Now *there's* a pro-2A statement!

I was in high school when this movie was released. I saw it in the theater. Great fun!!

I loved watching John Wayne with my grandfather...RIP...POPS...

[jacksagrafsky]

One of the best scenes in the movie. Only a true gun lover would understand.

[billsmith]

Just look at the store were the days....

[theodorebrooks]

As soon as he fired that gun, McQ was in love with it instantly!

[Slughi]

0:47 That is such a John Wayne mannerism the way he slaps the magazine in.

[onlyweknow]

Gun Control is When You Walk Out of The Gun Store With Just One!

[thelastjohnwayne]

The Constitution is John Wayne's license.

[BlacKnightRising]

the Duke just puts that beast in his bag and walks off LOL

[copee]

The look in Wayne's eyes when he realises what it means...heart breaking...he knew once we all stopped saying Mam and sir....yea i know ....No country for old country for any decent folk....God Bless You good people in the United States of America from one very concerned man here in the are all in my thoughts and prayer.

The first movie featuring the MAC-10. Great gun!

[kevingonzales]

John Wayne was the first guy with a gangster gun, I love that movie. McQ!

[macsdaddy]

Ahhh. John Wayne and a MAC-10. Can anything really be better than this I'll tell you. Kinda leaves one a bit misty eyed and nostalgic for wanting to be back in the day.

[BoondockRoberts]

Either John Wayne was an expert at depicting recoil or the just had him fire it with live rounds. Love that the suppressor didn't make that pixie fart noise
