'''''V.I.P.''''' was an action comedy series distributed by Sony Pictures Television that ran for four seasons on the UPN Network and in syndication throughout the United States. Created by J.F. Lawton (the screenwriter of ''[[Under Siege]]''), the series featured [[Pamela Anderson]] as a woman who becomes the figurehead of a bodyguard service after unwittingly saving the life of a celebrity. The series was intentionally campy and broad farce and captured the spirit of the 1990s with splashy colors and 'lightweight' villains (one of the last shows to elicit that "pre-9/11" feel). One thing the show had tons of was .... (no not girls in skimpy attire, which was the case) ... guns. And only on V.I.P. could Vallery's team have a full auto shootout with bandits in the street and no vehicles or buildings are damaged. It was a low budgeted series and it showed, but the producers kept up the light feel by not taking the show seriously at all. | '''''V.I.P.''''' was an action comedy series distributed by Sony Pictures Television that ran for four seasons on the UPN Network and in syndication throughout the United States.

Latest revision as of 16:38, 9 September 2023
V.I.P. was an action comedy series distributed by Sony Pictures Television that ran for four seasons on the UPN Network and in syndication throughout the United States. Created by J.F. Lawton (the screenwriter of Under Siege), the series featured Pamela Anderson as a woman who becomes the figurehead of a bodyguard service after unwittingly saving the life of a celebrity. The series was intentionally campy and broad farce and captured the spirit of the 1990s with splashy colors and 'lightweight' villains (one of the last shows to elicit that "pre-9/11" feel). One thing the show had tons of was .... (no not girls in skimpy attire, which was the case) ... guns. And only on V.I.P. could Vallery's team have a full auto shootout with bandits in the street and no vehicles or buildings are damaged. It was a low budgeted series and it showed, but the producers kept up the light feel by not taking the show seriously at all.
The following weapons were used in the television series V.I.P.:
Handguns
M1911A1
The M1911A1 is seen used by an assassin at a red carpet event.
M1911A1 (Nickel)
Nikki Franco (Natalie Raitano) carries dual nickel-plated M1911A1's as her sidearms.
Desert Eagle (Extended Barrel)
In "Good Val Hunting" (S1E11), a gunman on a motorcycle opens fire with a Desert Eagle that's been fitted with an extended barrel.
Smith & Wesson Model 686
Colt Arrow (Bryan Cranston) and a diamond thief are both seen using the Smith & Wesson Model 686 in "Beats Working at a Hot Dog Stand" (S1E01).
Smith & Wesson 659
In Season 1 - Episode 2 "What to Do with Vallery When You're Dead", Viktor Balek (Udo Kier) threatens Vallery and her client with his Smith & Wesson 659 pistol. Dual Smith & Wesson 659 pistols are also used by Tasha Dexter (Molly Culver) in the episode.
FIE Titan Pocket Pistol
Vallery pops up out of a bubble bath with a nickel-plated Nickel FIE Titan Pocket Pistol hidden somewhere on her body.
Ruger Mk III Suppressed
A Ruger Mk III with suppressor is the primary sidearm of Tasha Dexter (Molly Culver), first seen in Season 1 - Episode 1 "Beats Working at a Hot Dog Stand".
Cobra "Big Bore" Derringer
What appears to be a Cobra "Big Bore" Derringer is seen held by Ferris (Shashawnee Hall) in "What to Do with Vallery When You're Dead" (S1E02).
Glock 17
The Glock 17 is the standard sidearm of Quick Williams (Shaun Baker).

A Mauser C96 is seen in Season 1 - Episode 11 "Good Val Hunting", used by Eric Collier (John D'Aquino). Collier's C96 is nickel plated (judging from the very shiny and almost brand-new finish, it is possible that this is a Chinese-made imitation. Real "Broomhandles" are relatively rare.)
