Man on Fire is a 2004 action thriller starring Denzel Washington as John Creasy, a burnt-out former CIA operative and military officer who takes a job in Mexico guarding Pita Ramos (Dakota Fanning), the nine-year-old daughter of a wealthy businessman. When Pita is kidnapped and he is severely wounded, Creasy is determined to get her back at all costs. The cast also includes Radha Mitchell, Marc Anthony, Rachel Ticotin and Mickey Rourke. The film was directed by Tony Scott and was based on the 1980 novel of the same name written by A. J. Quinnell, which had been previously adapted into a 1987 film starring Scott Glenn. Both Fanning and Washington would reunite nearly 20 years later for the 2023 film The Equalizer 3.

The following weapons were used in the film Man on Fire (2004):

Pistols

Glock 34

The Glock 34 in 9x19mm is the sidearm of John Creasy (Denzel Washington), who carries it in a Kydex OWB holster. At one point in the film when Creasy is teaching Pita by her pool, he is seen carrying the pistol in his OWB holster without a shirt covering it like in most other scenes, and on his other side he has a double magazine pouch. It is the weapon with which he attempts suicide and later uses in the kidnapping scene.

It is interesting to note that Creasy's Glock 34 has a 2nd Generation frame (no accessory rail, finger grooves, or thumb rest) during the scene where he attempts suicide, but later in the film, it does have the (correct) 3rd Generation frame, which was the only factory option available from Glock. This is most likely because the slide for the pistol was blank-adapted separately, and the armory had a shortage of 3rd Generation frames at the time. The -34 slide will fit and work fine on a 2nd Gen frame, though this is not factory standard.

+==Glock 34==
+The [[Glock 34]] in 9x19mm is the sidearm of John Creasy ([[Denzel Washington]]), who carries it in a Kydex OWB holster. At one point in the film when Creasy is teaching Pita by her pool, he is seen carrying the pistol in his OWB holster without a shirt covering it like in most other scenes, and on his other side he has a double magazine pouch. It is the weapon with which he attempts suicide and later uses in the kidnapping scene.
-== Colt Commander 1911 ==
+It is interesting to note that Creasy's Glock 34 has a 2nd Generation frame (no accessory rail, finger grooves, or thumb rest) during the scene where he attempts suicide, but later in the film, it does have the (correct) 3rd Generation frame, which was the only factory option available from Glock.  This is most likely because the slide for the pistol was blank-adapted separately, and the armory had a shortage of 3rd Generation frames at the time.  The -34 slide will fit and work fine on a 2nd Gen frame, though this is not factory standard.

+[[Image:G34 4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An excellent closeup shot of Creasy's G34 right before firing a shot; the signature Glock tenifer finish at the time is very clearly visible. Note that his weapon now has the correct 3rd Gen frame. Also, he correctly draws it without his finger on the trigger.]]
-Used to kill the first police officer, who claimed himself as part of the Mexico City Police Department criminal secret society named "La Hermandad", after being tortured. As with basically all of the weapons Creasy buys from Rayburn's contact, this is a very good choice of firearm for his situation. (Especially considering many of the weapons he had to choose from were outdated and second-hand, although ''very'' effective) The Colt Commander offers almost all of the advantages of the full size Colt 1911A1 pistol; reliability, accuracy, a wide variety of upgrades/aftermarket accessories, sturdy construction and it's long coveted knockdown power. The only differences are that the Commander is more compact than the standard Colt 1911A1, while retaining the same magazine capacity and sacrificing less than an inch of barrel(.75"). It was a good weapon for him to choose because: in an extremely densely populated area concealed carry is key, ammunition would be attainable, the gun (and ammunition) are very accurate and of course; it's famous short range stopping ability. With a man as well trained as Creasy; The stylish, compact Colt could have been an instrument of death. Too bad we didnt see it used more.
+==Glock 17==
+Creasy later carries another Glock, the [[Glock 17]]. Used when he kidnaps his first revenge victim, and when he assaults the motorcade and kidnaps the police captain. Later given to Mr. Ramos ([[Marc Anthony]]) to kill himself with.

+==Colt Detective Special==
+At Pita's swim competition, a nickel plated [[Colt Detective Special]] is used to start the race.

+[[Image:MOF-COLTDET.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The swim competition is started with a Colt Detective Special.]]
-== M3 Greasegun ==
+==Smith & Wesson Model 15==
+During the kidnapping, one of the corrupt judicial cops uses a [[Smith & Wesson Model 15]].

+[[Image:MOF-SW15-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A corrupt policeman shoots Creasy in the shoulder with a Smith & Wesson Model 15.]]
+[[Image:MOF-SW15-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Creasy returns fire and shoots the corrupt policeman.]]
-While never used on screen Creasy buys an M-3 Greasegun from the gun dealer.It's seen in his bag.Of all of the firearms that Creasy buys, the M3A1 would have been by far the most effective of his small arms. It is ''perfectly'' suited for the tasks to come, and considering that most of the weapons that were available to Creasy for purchase from Rayburn's mexican gun-dealer were second hand and outdated weapons. Although there have been quantum leaps in submachine gun construction and design since the early 1940's(when the M3/M3A1 was designed), the large .45acp caliber round the M3/M3A1 fires and it's simple construction with stamped/pressed steel causes it to be very reliable, extremely simple to operate, unusually compact, has ferocious knockdown power, high controlability on full auto due to decreased rate of fire, simple to fix and maintain, cheap to manufacture and very easily suppressed and/or converted to 9X19mm. (all of this appealed to many in the early special forces and paratrooper communities).
+==.22 Llama Blank Revolver "Salva"==
+At Pita's practice swim meet, a ? is used to start the race.

+Creasy is shown with a "Lupara" side by side [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun]]. This Lupara is full sized when he buys it and presumably sawed off afterwards. Creasy uses this short Side by Side shotgun to blow off the hand of Aurelio Sanchez. Also used in the nightclub.
