'''''Red Heat''''' is a 1988 action thriller that stars [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] as Ivan Danko, a Moscow police officer who travels to Chicago to bring back notorious Soviet (Georgian) drug dealer Viktor Rostavili ([[Ed O'Ross]]). When Viktor escapes custody, Danko partners with Chicago PD Detective Art Ridžić
'''''Red Heat''''' is a 1988 action thriller that stars [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] as Ivan Danko, a Soviet police officer from Moscow who travels to Chicago to bring back notorious Soviet-Georgian drug dealer Viktor Rostavili ([[Ed O'Ross]]). When Viktor escapes custody, Danko partners with Chicago PD Detective Art Ridžić ([[James Belushi]]) as they attempt to track him down. The movie was directed by [[Walter Hill]] from a screenplay written by Hill and Troy Kennedy Martin. This film was done while the Soviet Union still existed, thus it was extremely difficult for any US movie armorer to get Soviet Bloc weapons, due to an ATF regulation (per Department of State directive) that no weapons from any Communist bloc country be sold within the United States (unless that country had signed a specific trade agreement, like China [Norinco], and Yugoslavia [Zastava], imported by Mitchell Arms); many AKMs (ARM/MISR) were imported from Egypt with no special agreement since Egypt was not a communist country, nor had ever been one.

''**{Many AKMs (ARM/MISR) were imported from Egypt with no special agreement since Egypt was not a communist country, nor had ever been one.))'' 


Since the film depicted a Russian Cop as a hero, the filmmakers actually secured permission to do some filming in Moscow and the Soldiers marching in Red Square were real, as were their Parade SKS rifles. The other snowbound filming took place in Budapest, Hungary, which is why so many of the 'Soviet' Police (aka Militsia) were carrying FEG PA-63 Pistols (from Hungarian Weapons Armorers).

== Podbyrin 9.2mm (mocked up Desert Eagle .357) ==
The fictional [[(Red Heat) - Podbyrin 9.2 mm Pistol|Podbyrin 9.2mm Pistol]], which is actually a modified [[Desert Eagle Mark I]] .357 Magnum to look more like a Soviet weapon, is the main weapon for Captain Ivan Danko ([[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]) for much of the film, until he gets it taken away, due to his lack of a diplomatic license.


== Podbyrin 9.2mm Pistol (mocked up Desert Eagle .357) ==
Director Walter Hill wanted a "P38 but bigger and meaner. A P38 on Steroids", so movie armorer Tim LaFrance built three guns he named "The Hollywood Eagle". He used the Desert Eagle .357 Mk I pistols as a base and had to modify the entire profile to resemble a large [[Walther P38]]. According to LaFrance, the most difficult part of the blank adaption conversion was the gas porting. It should also be noted that the [[Makarov PM]], the most popular handgun in the Soviet Union, used a 9.2mm round, which is probably why the Podbyrin is said to be chambered in '9.2mm'.

Red Heat (1988)

Red Heat is a 1988 action thriller that stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as Ivan Danko, a Soviet police officer from Moscow who travels to Chicago to bring back notorious Soviet-Georgian drug dealer Viktor Rostavili (Ed O'Ross). When Viktor escapes custody, Danko partners with Chicago PD Detective Art Ridžić (James Belushi) as they attempt to track him down. The movie was directed by Walter Hill from a screenplay written by Hill and Troy Kennedy Martin. This film was done while the Soviet Union still existed, thus it was extremely difficult for any US movie armorer to get Soviet Bloc weapons, due to an ATF regulation (per Department of State directive) that no weapons from any Communist bloc country be sold within the United States (unless that country had signed a specific trade agreement, like China [Norinco], and Yugoslavia [Zastava], imported by Mitchell Arms); many AKMs (ARM/MISR) were imported from Egypt with no special agreement since Egypt was not a communist country, nor had ever been one.

Since the film depicted a Soviet policeman as a hero, the filmmakers actually secured permission from the Soviets to do some filming in Moscow and the soldiers marching in Red Square were real, as were their Parade SKS rifles. The other snowbound filming took place in Budapest, Hungary, which is why so many of the "Soviet" police (Russian: Militsia) were carrying FEG PA-63 Pistols (from Hungarian weapons armorers).


The following weapons were used in the film Red Heat:


Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!


Pistols

Podbyrin 9.2mm (mocked up Desert Eagle .357)

The fictional Podbyrin 9.2mm Pistol, which is actually a modified Desert Eagle Mark I .357 Magnum to look more like a Soviet weapon, is the main weapon for Captain Ivan Danko (Arnold Schwarzenegger) for much of the film, until he gets it taken away, due to his lack of a diplomatic license.

Director Walter Hill wanted a "P38 but bigger and meaner. A P38 on Steroids", so movie armorer Tim LaFrance built three guns he named "The Hollywood Eagle". He used the Desert Eagle .357 Mk I pistols as a base and had to modify the entire profile to resemble a large Walther P38. According to LaFrance, the most difficult part of the blank adaption conversion was the gas porting. It should also be noted that the Makarov PM, the most popular handgun in the Soviet Union, used a 9.2mm round, which is probably why the Podbyrin is said to be chambered in '9.2mm'.

BTJ DA38

The BTJ DA38, a.k.a "sleeve pistol" is used by Viktor "Rosta" Rostavili (Ed O'Ross). It was modified by Tim La France, who also modified the Desert Eagle, and made the sleeve device (a la Taxi Driver). The barrel of the derringer was cut off and a new one with a bore larger than a 12 gauge was machined, welded and blended into the original contours.

Heckler & Koch P9S

One of the weapons employed by Viktor 'Rosta' Rostavili are a pair of Heckler & Koch P9S pistols - one with a black slide, the other with a Stainless slide.

Revolvers

Chicago Police Detective Art Ridžić (James Belushi) carries a snub revolver that resembles a 2.5" barreled Mag-na-Ported Smith & Wesson Model 629 with Pachmayr combat grips. It is possible that this is the same revolver used in the previous Walter Hill-directed film Extreme Prejudice.

Smith & Wesson Model 29

One of the guns used by Danko is the Smith & Wesson Model 29. Though Ridžić gives Danko the revolver, he gives him no spare ammunition, so in typical "Hollywood" fashion, Danko regardless fires eighteen shots out of the six shot revolver without reloading.

Smith & Wesson Model 38 "Bodyguard"

A nickel Smith & Wesson Model 38 is carried by a hooker in her purse and used to save Danko's life, but later is discarded in the Hotel room. This was probably an attempt to disassociate herself with the killing, but to no avail, since she is questioned about shooting the Cleanhead by the CPD later. The hooker was played by actress Gretchen Palmer who would later become a familiar face on television.
