Jesus Christ Superstar is the 1973 film adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber stage musical of the same name. Directed by Norman Jewison (In the Heat of the Night), the rock opera tells the last weeks in the life of Jesus Christ leading up to the Crucifixion. The film contains many intentional anachronisms, including the wearing of modern day clothes and the use of firearms. Actors Ted Neeley (Jesus Christ) and Carl Anderson (Judas Iscariot) received Golden Globe nominations for their performances as well. The movie was shot in Israel with the cooperation of the Israeli Army. In one memorable scene, Judas is seen haunted by his conscience which takes the shape of five Israeli "Sho't"-tanks (Centurion).
The following firearms were seen in the film Jesus Christ Superstar:
MP40 SMG
While some Roman soldiers and temple guards are seen with spears and swords, many are seen carrying MP40 submachine guns.
Uzi
Uzi submachine guns are also carried by some Roman soldiers and temple guards.
Unknown Machine Guns
A machine gun is displayed at a marketplace, possibly a Breda M37. Also in the background are two other weapons on a rack, the bottom one looks to be an MG34 and the top an FN FALO.
Martini-Henry rifle
At the marketplace, Jesus (Ted Neeley) picks up a Martini-Henry and smashes merchandise on a display table. The long reloading lever is visible. It is most likely a carbine version of the M-H as it is shorter than the standard version shown below.
