When we think of a fantasy movie, along with the hero, their weapon comes to our minds too.
Captain America - Shield
Green Lantern - Power ring
Bat Man - Batarangs
Thor - Mjolnir
We can add many such unique weapons.
But this is not only limited to fantasy movies. Special weapons* are being designed for non-fantasy movies too. Baahubali fame S.S. Rajamouli takes special care in designing special weapons for his movies.
Some action movies in Telugu film industry(nicknamed as Tollywood) also use this type of weaponography.
My question:
- Which is the oldest non-fantasy** movie to design unique weapons for the protagonist or the actors?
** By non- fantasy, I meant non-super hero movie and a movie which doesn't involve any magic (unlike Harry potter and Twilight). I am looking for a movie which is set in a real world.
* Weapons which are unique and non- conventional in appearance or usage and are designed for that movie. A signature weapon would do. Not the weapons which look like regular shield, sword and machine gun.
