Bored tonight..and watching Borne Identity again. The hero wields an apparently French SxS in a climatic fight. What was the gun? Here are the internet comments. There are hundreds of "Boutique" gunmakers scattered across Europe. They often use parts (locks and triggers) made by larger companies such as FN or Beretta and then assemble them with stocks and barrels that they manufactured. This has been the norm in Europe for centuries. Unlikely the make of the shotgun will ever be determined.

My wife and I are stuck in a nightly loop of Andy of Mayberry TV shows. Anyone able to identify what's in his rack of long guns in his office? At least one is a double with a Deely pushbutton forend release.

hahaha Just watched that movie the other night, and was wondering the same thing. More importantly, what kind of shot shells was he using, as he was able to blow up a fairly large propane tank with one shot from about 50 yds with it.
As for Matt Damon, just another hollyweirdo making a living by making gun violence movies, then telling the rest of us we don't need guns....

Well, it does have swivels, so a good chance it's French. Or maybe German, Austrian, or Belgian. If a good look at the stock showed that very minimal round knob that's a French characteristic, that'd make French origin more likely.
Zooming in, the gun has a wide rib that does not look particularly French. Top photo shows the receiver with a notched back at the head of the stock. That, I think, would be less common on a French gun than scallops, or just a straight back.
Just a wild guess: My Verney-Carron catalog from 1999 lists only two side by sides, neither of which was actually made by V-C. ("The Helux and Jet are made for us in the European Union . . . ") The scalloped-back Helux looks decidedly German. The Jet, which does have a notched back receiver, looks maybe more Italian or Spanish. But coin-finished receiver, splinter forend, swivels . . . all of those seem to match Bourne's gun. The gun does have a full PG, if there's a better photo of it available somewhere.
