| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Preacher (Dutch: De Dominee) is a 2004 Dutch crime movie based on the life of Dutch drug lord Klaas Bruinsma who is said to have been one of the biggest drug lords in Europe in the late 1980s. He was given the nickname "The Preacher" because of his apparent habit to always dress in black and give speeches to his accomplices.
The movie follows his rise and fall in the 1980s as Klaas, who has a strong desire to become more successful than his rich but heartless father, builds an drug trafficking empire. In the process, increasing violence gets ahold of his organization, his best friends and eventually himself.
The following weapons were used in the film The Preacher:
Handguns
Glock 17
For most of the movie, Klaas (Peter Paul Muller) carries a Glock 17 as his personal sidearm. He uses it to threaten "business partners" but also to defend himself when a kidnapping attempt is made. In one scene, Serbian arms dealer and hitman Jutka (Christian Kmiotek) grabs it from Klaas.
Walther P5
Adri (Frank Lammers), Klaas' closest friend and a local karate champion, acts as his bodyguard from the start. In the beginning of the movie, he is given a Walther P5 that he initially refuses but uses later on to deadly effect. The gun was standard issue for Dutch police forces at the time so this is an accurate portrayal.
Desert Eagle Mark VII
One of Klaas' most trusted men, Pim (Mike Reus), carries a Desert Eagle Mark VII that he draws (but never fires) on several occasions. It is also used by a hitman during an attempt to assassinate Klaas in front of the hotel. This weapon as well is mostly anachronistic as most events are set in the 1980s to ~1991 and the Desert Eagle Mark VII was not introduced until 1990. The earlier Desert Eagle Mark I would be more period-correct.
CZ 70
A CZ 70 is carried by Piet (Tygo Gernandt), the leader of the members of Klaas' gang who make an attempt to kidnap Klaas and enter into a criminal business venture by themselves.
CZ 75 "Pre-B"
When the kidnapping attempt does not go according to plan, Piet calls a few henchmen to finish off Klaas. One of them carries a CZ 75 "Pre-B" as he enters the room and manages to fire a few shots.
CZ 83
Another henchman carries a CZ 83 during the kidnapping attempt but he does not get to use it.
Umarex Colt Government 1911 A1
Klaas carries a Umarex Colt Government 1911 A1 as his side arm for the first few scenes of the movie. He "inherits" it from his predecessor Hugo when he takes over his criminal organization. In later scenes, Klaas' side arm switches to a Glock 17.
Beretta 92FS Brigadier
A hitman carries a Beretta 92FS Brigadier with a suppressor. The gun can be easily identified by the typical slide.
Submachine Guns
Uzi
Next to the AKS-47, the preferred weapon for criminals hostile to Klaas seems to be the Uzi submachine gun. For many years, this gun was in service with Dutch army and police forces, so criminal elements may possibly have "liberated" them from official stock.
Assault Rifles
AKS-47
The AKS-47 is seen used in several scenes by members of Klaas' gang, most notably by Pim (Mike Reus) and also by Serbian hitmen who are send to eliminate Klaas.
Machine Guns
RPK
Serbian hitman and arms dealer Jutka (Christian Kmiotek) shows off an RPK during a meeting on a parking lot with Klaas and Adri. Even though he waves it around quite prominently, it does not see any firing action in the movie.
Miscellaneous
Jutka’s stash
When Klaas (Peter Paul Muller) and Adri (Frank Lammers) meet with Jutka (Christian Kmiotek) to discuss a hit on a competing crime ring, Jutka displays a gun stash that he keeps in the trunk of his Mercedes. Staying in line with Jutka’s Serbian descent, most weapons originate from Eastern Europe.
