"Legends of the Fall" has one maybe two double rifles.

One is carried by the Brad Pitt character ivory hunting, and from the cartridges is supposed to be a bore cartridge I think. From the bandolier he wears in the hunting camp.

The other is a gift to his father Ludlow, but it may be a shotgun.

Haven't gone back to see if it has already been mentioned. Added it here for my own future benefit

Ha! Just watched Trader Horn on cable last night. Rod Taylor and Anne Whatsername, corny as hell but interesting for the early-seventies background Africana.

The movie opens with a badly-faked double-rifle 'stop' on an elephant, but unfortunately one doesn't get to see much of the hardware!

How about "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", a fantasy type movie with Sean Connery
as Alan Quartermain with double rifle.

Sorry, I didn't go back far enough to see it was already mentioned.

I used to own a very nice George Gibbs 577 3" BPE Full Sidelock double that Charleton Heston used in the Movie "Alaska" , I should have kept it but I cannot go back in time and worry to much, He was a poacher in the Movie.

Robert Redford in Out of Africa, holding spares in his trigger hand.

I wonder if he ever shot that gun like that, and where the spares went if he did...
