Smith & Wesson Model 36
Special Agent John Hanlon (Peter McRobbie) uses a backup Smith & Wesson Model 36 in the shootout scene, after his main sidearm was knocked over during a collision with the other pursuit vehicles.
Smith & Wesson Model 686
Michael Platt (David Soul) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 686 to kill a man target shooting with a rifle at the beginning of the film, to steal his gold Monte Carlo. William Matix carries the Model 686 in a shoulder holster during the shootout; At one point Platt takes the revolver and attempts to shoot Special Agent Ed Mirelles (Ronald G. Joseph) with it, missing his head by inches before the gun misfires after 3 shots.
In the actual shootout a Smith & Wesson Model 586 was used, but not in this particular portion of the incident - A Dan Wesson revolver is what Platt pulled from Matix's shoulder holster.
