“Borderline”, 1980 Charles Bronson Border Patrol movie

[Wyatt Burp]

This is an OK Charles Bronson film where he plays a Border Patrolman. Ed Harris in his first role is excellent as the bad guy. It's about a high tech illegal alien smuggling ring. All the BPs carry 4" N frames which I take for granted are Model 28s. I don't know if they really carried them, but they did in two other 80s Border Patrol films I can think of with Jack Nicholson and the other Kris Kristofferson.Wilford Brinkley is in it, too and he was great in everything.

Badly placed squibs or second shots

I remember this movie from the theater. I remember the semi truck that Ed Harris shoots at the semi climatic scene at 1:30:20 seconds being shown with all the holes he just shot into it being badly filled with squibs to blow during the shoot. Just looked at it on Youtube and this scene is as bad as I remembered.

Rest of the movie was Ok. Pretty sure I took my future wife to it at the theater.

Thanks for posting. I have not heard of this movie and will be watching it this weekend.

If I may ask, can you start another thread on your old west guns or Colt's, etc., sometime? Really enjoy those posts and appreciate your perspective!

Excellent movie. Thanks for the recommendation.
I really enjoyed it, despite the fact that quality of the picture was not the best. I am reseting all the settings on my firestick, installing new apps and addons now (that is the way to do it) and hopefully next movie i can watch in a better quality.
