Hollywood Homicide is a 2003 action comedy starring Harrison Ford as Detective Joe Gavilan, who has to juggle his job as a homicide detective working out of the Hollywood Division of the LAPD with his sideline job as a real estate broker. While breaking in his rookie partner, K.C. Calden (Josh Hartnett), Gavilan tries to solve a multiple homicide involving musicians in the rap industry. The film was directed by Ron Shelton (Dark Blue) and was co-written by Robert Souza, a former LAPD homicide detective who based the screenplay on his own real-life experiences.
The following weapons were used in the film Hollywood Homicide:
Handguns
Smith & Wesson 4566
LAPD Detective Sergeant Joe Gavilan (Harrison Ford) carries a Smith & Wesson 4566 as his sidearm throughout the film. This is quite accurate as the S&W 4566 is actually one of several .45 ACP pistols authorized for carry by officers of the Los Angeles Police Department. The 4566 is a 4506 with a shorter slide and barrel.
Beretta 92FS
Det. K.C. Calden (Josh Hartnett) keeps a Beretta 92FS as his sidearm throughout the film. LAPD officers are also seen with Berettas, one of which is snatched by a criminal being arrested, who fires it around the police parking lot with his hands cuffed behind his back. K.C counts the shots fired and goes to jump him after 15 shots (which, if closely counted, is the full 16 shots), only to be shown by Joe that the gun still has "One in the 'spout'" (meaning one still loaded in the chamber).
The officer's 92FS lays on the ground after being used by the criminal.
Joe: "And one in the spout!"
Joe shows K.C. the officer's 92FS still had a round in the chamber.
Glock 17
Danny Broome (James MacDonald) is seen with a Glock 17 2nd Generation with chromed slide which he shows to Joe and K.C. in an attempt to intimidate them. Antoine Sartain (Isaiah Washington) is later seen using the same Glock to fire at Joe as he pursues him.
Smith & Wesson 3913
Lieutenant Bennie Macko (Bruce Greenwood) is seen with a compact Smith & Wesson auto, most likely a Smith & Wesson 3913.
Walther PPK/S
Leroy Wasley (Dwight Yoakam) is armed with a Walther PPK/S, which he fires at Joe and uses to hold up K.C. before he acts his way out of being killed and manages to get a confession from him claiming he murdered his dad.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Several gangsters during the beginning of the film use Heckler & Koch MP5A3s fitted with RIS foregrips and Aimpoint Comp-M2 reflex sights. They look to have Navy-style trigger groups.
Rifles / Carbines
FN FAL (Shorty Carbine)
One of the drive-by shooters is armed with a short-barreled FN FAL variant with a 30 round magazine.
Machine Guns
M249 SAW Para
One of the drive by shooters is armed with a M249 SAW Paratrooper machine gun.
