Spyderco's in movies & television

[obi-wan]

How many movies and television shows have featured Spydercos? I remember the Endura being used in Cliffhanger and the Delica being used in the TV series Millenium. What other films have Spyderco's been used in?

A few others are, Hannibal ( Obviously <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> ). Strange Days, there is a Rescue as well as another right at the end that I can't quite identify. Fight Club, in the scene set in the Police interview room, (I think it's an SS Police)
And I know there are a couple of others, but I can't think right now, but that should get things started <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Was the TV series Millenium the move about the Y2K crash?

[obi-wan]

No, Millenium was a series revolving around a character named Frank Black, an FBI agent. The series revolved around the super-natural and a doomsday type of organisation known as the Millenium group. The series was produced by the people who created the X-Files. In the series, Frank Black carried a Delica for general use.

I also remember seeing a Spyderco used in a movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme with an ice hockey theme. I can't remember the title.

P.S.
Jedi's carry Spydercos

The VanDamme movie is "Hard Target." The bad guy uses an Endura which is very visible in a few scenes. I believe the Endura was also used in the movie version of the Dean Kootz book "Mr. Murder."

I saw an espisode of Millenium where Frank Black used a Delica to carve a pumpkin. I think the episode name was "The Curse of Frank Black". This is the first time i've seen a Spyderco on tv or in a movie that wasn't used as an offensive or defensive weapon.

I agree with you Carson. It would be nice to see Spydies and knives in general, used as essential tools in movies. It's ironic how there are people who are quick to condemn knives as horrible instruments of death, but if they use them in violent films, it's ok because it's art.

[thorin hammer]

I saw a Harpy in a movie called Chill Factor, it was used by the bad guy...

Ehh, supposed to be Thorin... : )

[FullerH]

There was a Delica used by Oz in Buffy a year or so back to trim wires in a sound system, an engraved Police used by the villain in the movie, "The Client", and a SS scale Police used as a murder weapon on at least one of the old "Murder She Wrote" tv shows with Angela Lansbury. Oh yes, and a SS scale Police was used to, umh, filet a dog in the Steven King movie "Needful Things".

Hi All,

Here is a partial (and very behind) list of movies and tv shows that Spyderco knives have either been in, or to which we've sent knives to the production set for consideration.
Please add to it! I've been lazy 'bout keepin' it up to date. You would be greatly helping me out.

Wow, what a list.Congrat's Joyce.
Can You list the used models to the films?

Steel heart,straight edge.

I saw a show on VH-1 called "Strange Frequency". It was made up of a couple shorter shows. In one of them, this guy drove around picking up kids on their way to concerts. In the trunk lid of his car, there was a flip down cover. Behind it was an array of weapons. One of them was a SS Police(I think).

Geez Joyce!& I though I had an eye for trivia & detail!*LOL*(one of my lifetime goals is to find a Colt Single Action Army revolver like Hugh O'Brian used in the TV show'Wyatt Earp':could shoot 50 rounds without reloading.Now THAT'S hi-cap*G*!).See my post in the'Hannibal'thread:maybe this publicity will do for Spyderco what the'Dirty Harry' films did for Smith & Wesson.Respects to all.

[Tom Percy]

Now, if we could see what knife was used in used in each of the movies listed, we could see if there was a trend in the movie industry as to what they are using....

[CJF]

On the 80's TV show "Airwolf" there was a Spyderco Mariner used by one of the "bad guys" to cut open a bag of a "powdery, illegal substance" (if you get my meaning <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> )

In "The Thin White Line" (Millennium), the Delica is used as a spatula for picking up bloody crime scene evidence. Although one of the killers uses a knife to mutilate victims, it's not a Spyderco.

I just saw a Centofante C50 being used by the Captain in "On the Beach" (new version). He was using it to peel tomatoes.
