Revision as of 12:13, 12 February 2012
Kiss of the Dragon is a 2001 action film starring Jet Li, Tchéky Karyo and Bridget Fonda. There is relatively little wire work, unusual for a modern kung fu film, resulting in some great fight scenes, especially between Jet Li and Cyril Raffaelli, who plays a henchman. Despite Li's character being a good police officer and a surprisingly good portrayal of the Communist Chinese government, this film was still banned in the People's Republic of China, a fact that Li was not very happy about.
The following weapons are used in Kiss of the Dragon:
Handguns
FN Model 1900 (Chinese copy)
Liu Jian (Jet Li) smuggles a Chinese made copy of the FN Model 1900, .32 ACP into France, which was later used to frame him.
Beretta 92FS Inox
Inspector Richard (Tchéky Karyo) has a Berreta 92 FS Inox as his primary weapon throughout the movie. It has a black barrel from an ordinary Beretta 92.
Ruger P-Series
The "Fat Thug" (Jean-Marc Huber) uses a Ruger P-series pistol.
Taurus Raging Bull
The larger twin (Didier Azoulay) carries a Taurus Raging Bull revolver.
Ruger Security Six
One of Richard's thugs (John Maczko) carries a stainless Ruger Security Six revolver.
Beretta 92FS
Some of Richard's men carry Beretta 92FS pistols.
M1911-type
One of Richard's men carries a nickel-plated M1911-type pistol during the chase on the boat.
Manurhin MR-73 Gendarmerie
Many of the cops carry Manurhin MR-73 Gendarmerie revolvers.
Vektor SP1
One of Richard's men carries a Vektor SP1.
MAC Mle 1950
One of the cops in the police station reaches for his MAC Mle 1950.
Submachine Guns
Mini Uzi
A few Mini Uzis were seen in the hands of Richard's men. The pilot (Paul Barrett) carries two tricked out ones with stainless finish and scopes.
Ruger MP9
Max had a Ruger MP9 in the weapons stash in his car.
Rifles
Ruger AC556K
French police can be seen with a Ruger AC556K rifle.
SIG SG 552
Max (John Forgeham) uses a SIG SG 552 with a scope and an under barrel grenade launcher.
AR-15 type
French police carry an AR-15-type rifle. It's not very clear, but it has a forward assist and A2-style handguards.
Other
Unknown Grenades
The bigger twin carries several grenades of an unknown type. Richard uses one to try to kill Liu Jian.
Underbarrel Grenade Launcher
Max's SG 552 has an unknown under barrel grenade launcher. It might be a SIG GL 5040. It could be a mockup as it is never fired.
Airport Gun Stash
Numerous weapons are seen in the gun stash at the train station. Liu Jian can't use it however, as two cops see it the same time he does.
