True Lies (1994)

True Lies is a 1994 action comedy starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Harry Tasker, a husband who has kept his life as a covert government agent secret from his wife and daughter until a mission involving the theft of a nuclear device threatens to expose his cover. Based on the 1991 French comedy La Totale!, the film was directed by James Cameron and co-starred Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Arnold, Tia Carrere, Grant Heslov, Eliza Dushku, and Charlton Heston. True Lies was at the time the most expensive film ever produced, and the first with a budget exceeding $100 million (in both cases without adjusting for inflation). It was originally planned to be the first in a Bond-style lighthearted spy franchise with a 2002 release date hinted at for True Lies 2. However, Cameron cancelled all such plans after 9/11, saying he felt terrorism was no longer something to be taken lightly. True Lies was later adapted as a 2023 television series that premiered on CBS and starred Steve Howey and Ginger Gonzaga.

The Ruger KP90 is the apparent standard-issue sidearm of the agents working out of Omega Sector, the association that employs Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger), the pistol is seen being carried by him, Albert "Gibb" Gibson (Tom Arnold), and Faisil (Grant Heslov) in many scenes. Tasker notably uses it when combating Salim Abu Aziz (Art Malik) in the public restroom and the proceeding chase through Central Park and the Marriot hotel.

 ==Glock 19==
-In the beginning of the film, Harry Tasker ([[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]) uses a [[Glock#Glock_19|2nd Generation Glock 19]] pistol to shoot the guards pursuing him from the mansion. In the script, the gun was classified as a [[Glock#Glock 21|Glock 21 .45 ACP]], but it was changed to a [[Glock#Glock 19|Glock 19]] for the film, likely due to the larger magazine capacity. He was supposed to use the Glock throughout the whole film, but he instead uses a [[Ruger P-series pistol#Ruger P90|Ruger KP90]].

+==Makarov PM==
-Some of the men guarding the mansion at the beginning of the film are seen armed with [[Heckler & Koch G3#H&K HK91|Heckler & Koch HK91A3]] rifles, as noted by their collapsing stocks.
+During the bathroom scene, Yusif (Ofer Samra) attempts to kill Tasker ([[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]) with a sound suppressed [[Makarov PM]], but thanks to the camera in the fake cigarette package on the bathroom sink, he is able to see the attack coming from his glasses, and avoids the shot, and he then disarms Yusif using it.

-The guards pursuing Tasker ([[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]) at the beginning of the film are armed with [[Heckler & Koch SP89]]s mocked up as [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5K|MP5Ks]] by adding MP5K foregrips and converting them to full auto fire. A number of the SP89s were fitted with attachements at the pistol grip for fitting Maxabeam lanterns.

+In the briefcase of Simon ([[Bill Paxton]]), Helen Tasker ([[Jamie Lee Curtis]]) finds what appears a pistol that closely resembles a [[Smith & Wesson 659]].  Later, the pistol appears to have been a Daisy Model 93 air gun.

-==Custom Shortened AKMS==
-Salim Abu Aziz ([[Art Malik]]) can often be seen using a [[AK-47#AKMS|Custom Shortened AKMS]] with two magazines taped together "jungle-style" as his primary weapon. It appears to have had the barrel professionally shortened to compact status, and clearly uses the hooded Norinco front sight, as well as other parts from both the [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56]] and the AKMS.

-==Heckler & Koch HK94A3 (chopped & converted)==
-When Tasker ([[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]) and several other agents capture Helen ([[Jamie Lee Curtis]]) and Simon ([[Bill Paxton]]) for interrogation, they are armed with [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch HK94|Heckler & Koch HK94A3s]] chopped down and converted to full-auto fire to resemble [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|MP5A3s]]. They are also seen in the hands of the SWAT team members escorting the news reporters to the terrorists in the skyscraper.

+Three real, armed USMC Harrier IIs of Marine Attack Squadron 223 (VMA-223, "Bulldogs") participated in the filming for a fee totalling $100,736: two aircraft, WP-03 and WP-16, are identifiable in the film, with the third presumably hired in case something went wrong with one of the others. In scenes where Schwarzenegger is shown flying the plane, though, it is instead a full-size fiberglass replica with no working parts aside from the acetylene-powered guns: the canopy and landing gear of this replica are spare parts from a real USMC Harrier II. This prop was variously shot on a soundstage with greenscreen effects and filmed on location, in the latter case being puppeteered from a tower crane on one of the nearby buildings which was painted out with CG in post-production.
