	Frank Lucas ([[Denzel Washington]]) carries a [[Browning Hi-Power#FEG PJK-9HP\|Fegyver és Gépgyár PJK-9HP]]. This weapon is chrome plated with wood grips, and has been converted for blank fire. During production the gun was set up as a "solid plug" version, meaning the barrel was completely blocked off so the gun could safely be fired close to a person's skin. This was necessary for the scene in the film where Lucas shoots a rival gangster in the forehead, and then places the gun on his chest.

	'''''American Gangster''''' is the 2007 biographical crime drama that centers on the life of Frank Lucas, a low level gangster working out of Harlem who in the late 1960's rose to power after devising a way to smuggle a pure form of heroin to the States directly from the Far East during the height of the Vietnam War. Directed by [[Ridley Scott]], the film stars [[Denzel Washington]] as Lucas and [[Russell Crowe]] as Richie Roberts, a New Jersey detective who was instrumental in taking the crime boss down. (Ironically, both actors previously starred together in ''[[Virtuosity]]'', in which Washington played the cop and Crowe played the criminal.)
