Red Heat is a 1988 Action film/comedy in which Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Soviet police officer Ivan Danko. His American partner is played by James Belushi as Chicago Police Detective Art Ridžić. They work together to catch a powerful Soviet (Georgian) drug dealer, Viktor Rostavili, played by Ed O'Ross.
The movie was directed by Walter Hill, and written by Hill and Troy Kennedy Martin. This film was done while the Soviet Union still existed, thus it was extremely difficult for any U.S. movie armorer to get Soviet Bloc weapons, due to an ATF regulation (per State Department 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 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).
The fictional Podbyrin 9.2mm Pistol is actually a modified Western Desert Eagle .357 Magnum. The Podbyrin does not exist and was made up as a prop for the movie to look more like a Soviet weapon. It is the main weapon for Capt. Ivan Danko (Arnold Schwarzenegger) for much of the movie, until he gets it taken away, due to his lack of a diplomatic license.
Walter Hill, the films director, has said in interviews that he wanted a "P38 on steroids".
The BTJ DA38 a.ka "sleeve pistol" 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.
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.
Carried by Cleanheads and one of Rosta's henchmen when they break Viktor Rosta free.

Smith & Wesson Model 66 Snubnose
A Snubnosed Smith & Wesson Model 66 with Pachmayr combat grips, is the sidearm of Chicago Police Detective Art Ridžić (Jim Belushi) in the movie.
- Looks too big to be a K-Frame S&W 66. You can also tell by the barrel and the subtle difference in the shape of the ejector shroud (compared to a 2.5" Model 66 barrel.) that it is probably an N-Frame 629 with 3" barrel in .44 Magnum. This makes sense if Belushi's character gives Arnie a full-sized Model 29. He probably really liked the "big" Magnums! - --sidspappy 20:16, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
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 fires eighteen shots out of the six shot revolver without reloading.
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.
Used by nearly all parties (other than Danko) during the shootout after the fight in the Druzba Cafe. Note: This entire sequence was filmed in Budapest, Hungary, and used Hungarian Armorers

Remington 870 Shotgun
Seen in the hands of a Cleanhead during a Chicago Police raid on a Cleanheads apartment. It appears to be a Remington 870 with the early 1980s style combat rig, extended magazine tube and sling loop, however this one has a pistol grip only. A very similar setup is used by Schwarzenegger as John Matrix in Commando.
Used by Red Square parade soldiers during the title sequence.

AK-47
Seen in the hands of the Cleanheads during a Cleanhead brokered truce.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingA hard to identify AK-47 variant is held by a Cleanhead. It is most likely a Norinco Type 56 rifle, but it cannot be verified since the man is seen from a distance in the film and only briefly.
Heckler & Koch 94
A full length barreled Heckler & Koch 94 Carbine is seen held by a Cleanhead. It has the ventilated barrel shroud and foregrip, as seen in Schwarzenegger's previous film Raw Deal.
