'''''The Untouchables''''' is the 1987 feature film adaptation of the popular 1959 [[The Untouchables (1959)|television series of the same name]] that starred [[Robert Stack]]. As in the series, the film follows the exploits of Eliot Ness ([[Kevin Costner]]), a US Treasury Agent who during the time of Prohibition was determined to take down Chicago mobster Al Capone ([[Robert De Niro]]). While the film was based on the true story, several liberties were taken in regards to the actual events. The film was directed by [[Brian De Palma]] from a screenplay by [[David Mamet]] and the cast included [[Andy Garcia]], [[Charles Martin Smith]] and [[Sean Connery]], who received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Jimmy Malone. The film would also produce a brief [[The Untouchables (1993)|television revival]] that premiered on the UPN Network in 1993. | |||

Chicago Police Officer Stone ([[Andy Garcia]]) uses a [[Colt Official Police]] while on the police academy firing range. The court officer is later seen with one which he hands off to Ness for him to chase Nitti down. What is interesting about Ness's gun is that this particular version of the Official Police is actually a Post-War gun (meaning it wasn't made until after 1950) whereas this movie takes place in the 1930s. The ramped front sight, flat hammer, and longer ejection rod cap are changes that were made after 1950. Pre-War guns would have a half moon front sight and shorter ejector rod cap. | |||

The Untouchables is the 1987 feature film adaptation of the popular 1959 television series of the same name that starred Robert Stack. As in the series, the film follows the exploits of Eliot Ness (Kevin Costner), a US Treasury Agent who during the time of Prohibition was determined to take down Chicago mobster Al Capone (Robert De Niro). While the film was based on the true story, several liberties were taken in regards to the actual events. The film was directed by Brian De Palma from a screenplay by David Mamet and the cast included Andy Garcia, Charles Martin Smith and Sean Connery, who received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Jimmy Malone. The film would also produce a brief television revival that premiered on the UPN Network in 1993.
The following weapons were used in the film The Untouchables:
Pistols
Star Model B
Treasury Agent Eliot Ness (Kevin Costner) carries a Star Model B as his sidearm in the film (the pistol was used due to its resemblance to the M1911A1 and because 9mm blanks were more reliable than .45 blanks) in scenes in which he fires it. Bowtie Driver (Vito D'Ambrosio), a gangster who holds the bookkeeper Walter Payne (Jack Kehoe) from Ness and Stone in the train station holds a Star Model B to Payne's head.

Colt Official Police
Chicago Police Officer Stone (Andy Garcia) uses a Colt Official Police while on the police academy firing range. The court officer is later seen with one which he hands off to Ness for him to chase Nitti down. What is interesting about Ness's gun is that this particular version of the Official Police is actually a Post-War gun (meaning it wasn't made until after 1950) whereas this movie takes place in the 1930s. The ramped front sight, flat hammer, and longer ejection rod cap are changes that were made after 1950. Pre-War guns would have a half moon front sight and shorter ejector rod cap.
