Iconic Motorcycle Movie Guns​

Winchester 1887 ​


No one knew what to expect when Terminator 2: Judgement Day hit the theaters. We had watched Arnold become an unstoppable bad guy in the first, a movie that also created his catch phrase. We just assumed that he was the antagonist once again.

This is especially true after he walks into a bar and forcibly takes clothes from a pair of tough bikers. As he prepares to ride off on one of their Fat Boys, the bartender confronts the T-800 Model 101 with a sawed-off Winchester 1887. It doesn’t end well for the bartender and Arnold rides away with the lever-action shotgun.

While it was cool watching Arnold flip-cock the 1887, it actually wasn’t the really the best choice of shotguns. This is because the 1887 wasn’t designed for modern smokeless powder. It has also been out of production since 1889. Several companies, however, have produced replicas of this John Moses Browning designed shotgun. Norinco imported a version until sanctions prevented this. The Chiappa 1887 Mare’s Leg is a near replica of the gun used in the movie.

Another movie that featured the Winchester 1887, as well as motorcycles, was Ghost Rider. In that one, Sam Elliot’s character handed Johnny Blaze the lever-action shotgun that the Ghost Rider turned into the Hellfire Shotgun. The Winchester 1887 is probably the pinnacle of cool in motorcycle movie guns.

Paradox of the Essenceless Self

But how, if the base of the individual is pure, empty awareness, can a conventional self and a moving mind exist at all? Here is an example based on experiences we all have: when we dream, an entire world manifests in which we can have any kind of experience. During the dream we are identified with one subject, but there are other beings, apparently separate from us, having their own experiences and seeming as real as the self we take ourselves to be. There is also an apparent material world: the floors hold us up, our body has sensations, we can eat and touch.

When we wake, we realize that the dream was only a projection of our mind. It took place in our mind and was made of energy of our mind. But we were lost in it, reacting to the mind created images as if they were real and outside of ourselves. Our mind is able to create a dream and to identify with one being that it places in the dream, while disidentifying with others. We can even identify with subjects that are far different than we are in our life.

As ordinary beings, we are in the same way, identified, right now with a conventional self that is also a projection of mind. We relate to apparent objects and entities that are further mind projections. The base of existence (Kunzhi) has the capacity to manifest everything that exists, even being that become distracted from their true nature, just as our mind can project beings that are apparently separate from us in a dream. When we wake, the dream that is our conventional self dissolves into pure emptiness and luminous clarity.

In 822 AD, a Benedictine abbot's decision to add hops to beer not only preserved the brew but also transformed the future of brewing.

This important development is credited to Abbot Adalhard of the Benedictine monastery of Corbie, located in what is now Northern France.

At that time, beer was a common drink, but it had a short shelf life. Spoilage was a constant concern for brewers and drinkers alike.

Monasteries, like the one at Corbie, were often centers of knowledge and skilled craftsmanship, including the ancient art of brewing.

Abbot Adalhard's statutes from that year officially documented the monastery's use of hops, marking a clear turning point in brewing practices.

The primary benefit of adding hops was their natural preservative quality. This simple addition allowed beer to stay fresh for much longer periods.

Hops also imparted a characteristic bitterness and aromatic qualities, which gradually shaped the preferred taste for beer over the years.

This significant advancement meant that beer could not only be stored for longer durations but also transported further, expanding its availability.

The diligent work of these monks fundamentally changed brewing, influencing methods used for centuries and laying the foundation for the diverse beer industry many appreciate worldwide.

He was my father's hero from that conflict, and for good reason.


I kinda suspect that the development of the character Captain John Miller was influenced a bit by Chamberlain.
