==Llama Comanche==
Myron ([[Tim Roth]]) carries a [[Llama Comanche]] for most of the film. Braddock ([[John Hurt]]) later takes it and tosses it away.

==Unidentifiable revolver==
A British plainclothes officer checks his revolver in the prologue. It makes only a brief appearance, and given the glare of the windshield, proper identification is pretty much impossible. It appears to be some sort of side-break revolver.
