The character of FBI Investigator Will Graham carried the Charter Arms .44 Bulldog in the novel Red Dragon and the motion picture Manhunter based on the novel. Graham started carrying the .44 caliber weapon after the .38 Special revolver he was carrying failed to put down a serial killer that Graham was tracking. Graham would later use the .44 Bulldog to kill serial killer Francis Dollarhyde in the film Manhunter. However, Graham fires six shots at Dollarhyde without reloading, which is not possible to do with a five shot .44 Bulldog.
