	Director Walter Hill wanted a "P38 but bigger and meaner. A P38 on Steroids", so movie armorer Tim LaFrance built three guns he named "The Hollywood Eagle". He used the Desert Eagle .357 Mk I pistols as a base and had to modify the entire profile to resemble a large [[Walther P38]]. According to LaFrance, the most difficult part of the blank adaption conversion was the gas porting.		Director Walter Hill wanted a "P38 but bigger and meaner.

According to LaFrance, the most difficult part of the blank adaption conversion was the gas porting. It should also be noted that the [[Makarov PM]], the most popular handgun in the Soviet Union, used a 9.2mm round, which is probably why the Podbyrin is said to be chambered in '9.2mm'.

	'''''Red Heat''''' is a 1988 action thriller that stars [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] as Ivan Danko, a ~~Moscow~~ police officer who travels to Chicago to bring back notorious Soviet (Georgian) drug dealer Viktor Rostavili ([[Ed O'Ross]]). When Viktor escapes custody, Danko partners with Chicago PD Detective Art Ridžić ([[James Belushi]]) as they attempt to track him down. The movie was directed by [[Walter Hill]] from a screenplay written by Hill and Troy Kennedy Martin. This film was done while the Soviet Union still existed, thus it was extremely difficult for any US movie armorer to get Soviet Bloc weapons, due to an ATF regulation (per Department of State directive) that no weapons from any Communist bloc country be sold within the United States (unless that country had signed a specific trade agreement, like China [Norinco], and Yugoslavia [Zastava], imported by Mitchell Arms); many AKMs (ARM/MISR) were imported from Egypt with no special agreement since Egypt was not a communist country, nor had ever been one.
