Cheech and Chong - "Things Are Tough All Over"
I have never seen a lockback with the big locktab release pong horn. . .
I don't know if this is a movie prop modification. . . or a weird middle eastern production item never sold stateside.
My favorite knife scene is when he fails to open a cardboard box with his knife . .
Followed by him picking his toenail jamb with the same knife as he peels and eats fruit with.

Roger Corman's "The Wild Angels"
The small guy looks like Michael J. Pollard (C.W.Moss in the Warren Beatty / Bonnie and Clyde film )
But the same cast and crew of Roger Corman made " Glory Stompers" - - - "Born Losers" - - - " Devil's Angels"
which may all very likely have more switchblade scenes
Because I have a clear memory of a "promo Photo" of a hoodlum with a 13 inch stiletto
pointed at a girl in an old style Telephone Booth with glass panels out on the street.
My Dad had a motorcycle kidney belt like the middle guy. . . . Dad wrecked his Indian cycle back in the 40's.
(I think this is also a JACKALOPE collection promo photo)

Re: alphabetized list of Switchblades in Films
Good to see you post, jerr...Was worrying about you.
Re: alphabetized list of Switchblades in Films
I wonder if this is "Vice Squad"? It's from 1982. Wings Hauser plays a psycho pimp armed with a large stiletto switchblade. In one scene it appears that he castrates another, somewhat effeminate black pimp.
There is seemingly no end to switchblade sightings in tv and movies. I was watching something on PBS, and there was a preview between shows for an episode of some PBS mystery series, and the bad guy in the preview had a stiletto switchblade. And I thought to myself "Even PBS has switchblades".
Unfortunately I neglected to remember the title of that show.

Re: alphabetized list of Switchblades in Films
The name of that show is "Guilt". Well worth a watch based on the first season. Here is the link to the 30 second preview. Knife appears at about the 9 second mark.Killgar wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 6:34 am There is seemingly no end to switchblade sightings in tv and movies.

The HIGHWAYMEN . . . Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner play Manny Gualt and Frank Hamer Texas Rangers
who gather a posse and hunt down Bonnie and Clyde.
Woody is threatened in a bar restroom by a local thug.
YouTube Video Clip Link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndCZFhwiHxE
Shows how something can be right under your nose, and you can't recall it.
I've been rewatching the clips that show the 30-06 B.A.R. rifle
that was converted into a Colt Monitor for the movie. . . .
And I know this knife scene. . . I just forgot it.
