Revision as of 16:03, 4 November 2016
The Hitcher is a 1986 thriller that follows a young man (C. Thomas Howell) who agrees to give a mysterious stranger (Rutger Hauer) a ride with horrific results. A DTV sequel, The Hitcher II: I've Been Waiting was released in 2003 with C. Thomas Howell returning and a remake was released in 2007.
The following weapons were used in the film The Hitcher:
revolvers
Smith & Wesson Model 66
The Smith & Wesson Model 66 is used by several law enforcement officers. Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell) acquires a Smith & Wesson Model 66 off of Trooper Donner (Billy Green Bush) during his escape from the Sheriff's station.
Smith & Wesson Model 27/28
John Ryder (Rutger Hauer) keeps a Smith & Wesson Model 27 / 28 as his sidearm for the majority of the film.
Custom Smith & Wesson 629
At the end of the movie, Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell) grabs Captain Esteridge's(Jeffrey DeMunn) sidearm. It is a 2.5"-barreled, Mag-na-ported S&W N-frame (probably, a Smith & Wesson 629 ). A similar gun can be seen in the films Extreme Prejudice and Beverly Hills Cop. A continuity error is seen when John Ryder jumps through the windshield, Jim Halsey's 629 turns into a Smith & Wesson Model 66.
Shotguns
Remington 870
The Remington 870 is used by the State Troopers, specifically during the Highway chase.
Remington 870 Folding Stock
Franchi SPAS 12
A Franchi SPAS-12 is carried by the State police escorting John Ryder to the state prison. Both John Ryder and Jim Halsey use the Franchi SPAS-12 at the climax of the film.
Rifles

A State trooper riding in a Helicopter fires on Jim Halsey during the Highway chase with a M16/SP1. Several of the State troopers escorting John Ryder (Rutger Hauer) are also armed with M16/SP1s.
