Little Robinson Corkscrew

was a 1924 black and white, silent, short comedy

directed by Ralph Ceder and F. Richard Jones.

The corkscrew has co-starred in many movies.

s

True Romance

Christian Slater opens a

bottle of wine with a Swiss Army knife

corkscrew. The knife is left on the floor and, in a

later scene, Patricia Arquette uses it as a weapon.

James Gandolfini really gets screwed.
