Fair Game was a 1995 action thriller that starred Cindy Crawford as a Miami lawyer who is targeted by Russian mobsters for assassination. William Baldwin co-starred as the Miami detective assigned to protect her. The film was intended as a star vehicle for supermodel Cindy Crawford to help her transition into acting. Unfortunately, a very weak script and lackluster direction resulted in a critically lambasted film and poor box office, with most of the criticism aimed at the lead actress. It was not entirely fair to direct all of the critical wrath at Ms. Crawford. She had little formal training and was a beginner actor but she was an experienced television personality and spokesperson and with training and experience she may have eventually excelled at acting, but the poor dialogue and bad script, especially for a novice actress, really presented her in a poor light and Andrew Sipes was not a veteran action film director. It was her first and last foray into film. Many have suggested that a better script that was not heavy with bad dialogue and direction designed to take the pressure off her and lean more on her experienced supporting actors, would have been a much better product. Despite this, the film had many good elements. The film was produced by veteran action producer Joel Silver (Lethal Weapon) with lots of chases and gunfights and many nods to directors James Cameron and Michael Bay in the cinematography and editing. The film even enlisted the Bad Boys composer Mark Mancina, who contributed a top notch score. But great elements cannot fix a fundamentally flawed project. The film ended up being a groan inducing 'knock off' of the action thrillers of the 90s.
The following weapons were used in the film Fair Game:
Beretta 92FS Inox
- The Beretta 92FS Inox is the primary weapon of Det. Max Kirkpatrick (William Baldwin) and is used by him throughout the film. During one scene, where he and Kate McQuean (Cindy Crawford) are having sex on the hood of a car that is being transported in a box car of a train, McQuean picks up the Inox pistol to kill an assassin before he can kill them.
Beretta 92FS
- The Beretta 92FS is used by several other police officers and detectives.
Makarov PM
Smith & Wesson 5906
- Kirkpatrick's friend and long time partner Det. Louis Aragon (John Bedford Lloyd) carries a Smith & Wesson 5904 that appears to be two toned.
Armsel Striker Rotary Shotgun
SWD Cobray Street Sweeper
Russian assassin Stefan (Gustav Vintas) uses a StreetSweeper rotary shotgun during the freeway chase. One of the details differentiating it from the Striker is the lack of a Cylinder advance lever and the style of winding key in front of the drum.
Type 69 RPG
- Stefan (Gustav Vintas) utilizes a Chinese Type 69 Rocket Launcher during the climax of the freeway chase.
Silenced Pistol
This looks just like a Makarov except it appears HUGE in Jenette Goldstein's hands. Does she just have small hands or is it something else?
-It appears to be a Makarov PMM, rather than a PM.
Smith & Wesson 4505
This perhaps is a S&W 4505. It looks to be a large caliber single stack S&W Auto with Novak sights. The S&W 4505 was only made for one year, 1991, but it is a good candidate for this pistol.
- In the second screenshot, you can see the double-stack bulges on the frame, which means it's not a 4505. It's most likely an older-model 5904 with a squared trigger guard.
Browning High Power
- Kirkpatrick acquires a Browning High Power and uses it on the boat
CZ-75
- Zhukov (Olek Krupa) carries a CZ-75 pistol throughout the movie.
Heckler & Koch MP5
One of the henchmen on the boat carries an MP5.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
Navigator (Marc Macaulay) uses an MP5K to shoot at Det. Max Kirkpatrick (William Baldwin) after he fails to kill Kate McQuean (Cindy Crawford) with a bomb blast - 9mm.
AKMS
Zhukov and Rosa use AKMS underfolders with drums when they launch an attack on Kirkpatrick's car at night.
Smith & Wesson Model 66
- A prisoner called Ratso (Hank Stone) grabs a Smith & Wesson Model 66 revolver from the waist belt of an inattentive police detective and holds him hostage at the precinct.
To be Determined
