Let's put the list together. Which movies have shown a Khukuri?

Here's a start:

BS Dracula
The Man Who Would Be King
Waterworld

I don't remember the name, but I saw a TV movie where a ldaie kept one hanging hosizonatlly across her front door. I thought "that is a good idea." Unwanted visitor+sharp khukri= severed limb.

I'm gonna do that myself... except for that damn 3 inch rule...
 
Survivor. It is an old 80's movie starring Chip Meyer. It also stars the actor who played "Bull" on T.V.'s Night Court as the bad guy. It is about the earth after civilization has ended. A real nasty scean where the Hero gets a khukuri slamed into his gut!!!

Cyborg is a great movie as far as knife fighting goes!!!
 
Van Damme used one in Cyborg.

Ooops.. shoulda been reading the previous replies more carefully..

Anthony Hopkins in Bram Stoker's Dracula gets my vote for most awesome display of Khukuri chopping power in a movie. 3 strokes, 3 heads...

I´ve seen one in a serie named Clan of the Vampires.
The leader of one clan uses the khukuri to behead an opponent in a fight.
 
The old Errol Flynn WWII movie -- called Operation Burma, I think. Pretty campy but still one of my favorites.
 
Rob: The khuk is in the scene when Sean sends the delicious Catherine Zeta Jones into the shop to steal the Ming Vase. After she presents the credit card to pay for it the nasty shopkeeper pulls out a BAS and holds it to her neck. Nice looking, I'd say. The khuk was nice looking as well...:D

P.S. don't feel bad about missing it.. I had to rewatch it after we dicussed this in a previous thread meself.
 
It looked like an HI BAS but can't tell for sure. My video equipment is like all the rest of my electronics -- costly to buy and now outdated.
 
Maya. A very old TV series, about an english boy looking for his father in the colonial India. He walked with a native indian boy, and an elephant. In an episode, an old coleague of his father showed him a large blade collection, and the boy could choose between many knives... guess what blade he choose?
 
Thanks Craig! To be honest, I had to watch it twice to notice Sean Connery was in it too;) :D
 
I would hazard a guess that khukuris must appear in some Hindi films ['Bollywood'-based in Bombay]--I've seen quite a number, but have yet to see a khukuri. Though the 1994 film Bombay had a lot of swords & knives in the Hindu-Muslim riot scenes in Bombay(actually there's a lot of real footage in Bombay from the actual riots - so in many cases they're *real* swords [and, unfortunately, *real* blood & death]) -- so there might have been one in there I missed.

Cheers all, B.
