Wild Target is a 2009 British romantic comedy directed by Jonathan Lynn (Clue, The Whole Nine Yards) starring Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt, Rupert Grint, Martin Freeman and Rupert Everett. It is a remake of the 1993 French film Cible Emouvante starring Jean Rochefort.


The following weapons were used in the film Wild Target:


Beretta 92FS

A Beretta 92FS is used by Victor Maynard (Bill Nighy) in several hits. He owns at least two, with one of them equipped with a LAM and suppressor. His mother Louisa (Eileen Atkins) calls the Beretta the "Pistol of Princes," reminding Victor that she gave him one for his seventh birthday (although it probably wasn't a modern 92FS).

Trivia - Bill Nighy's hand

Bill Nighy suffers from Dupuytren's contracture, which prevents him from straightening the ring finger and pinky on each hand. This leads to him gripping his weapons in odd ways.
