Unidentified This article currently has one or more unidentified weapons. |
Elephant White is a 2010 action movie about mercenary Curtie Church (Djimon Hounsou) who takes up an assignment in the Thai capital of Bangkok to stop a ruthless gang of human traffickers.
With the help of old-time friend and shady arms dealer Jimmy (Kevin Bacon) he enters the dark side of Bangkok, only to discover that nobody is who they say they are and that he’s right in the middle of a local mob war.
The title refers to an apparent Thai belief that a white elephant, being very rare, brings luck. In one scene in the movie, Thai godfather Boss Katha offers a white coated elephant to an opposing godfather in a vain attempt to stop the gang war.
The following guns were used in the film Elephant White:
Guns
Beretta 92FS
The Beretta 92FS is a prominent handgun in the movie, being used by most Thai thugs. It is seen in black, two-tone but in most cases the inox version is used.
M1911A1
Several M1911A1’s are being used by Curtie during his exploits in Bangkok but they don’t get much ‘screentime’ so good screenshots are rare.
SIG-Sauer P226
Another weapon of choice for Curtie is the SIG-Sauer P226. It is not seen fired and may be some kind of non-gun because on several occasions it is held close to actor’s faces and because of the incorrect/missing SIG inscription on the slide.
CZ 75B
During the shoot-out in front of the nightclub, a Thai gangster is seen firing a stainless CZ 75B.
Glock non-gun
During the climatic shoot-out at the brothel, one of the thugs send to ‘welcome’ Curtie is carrying what looks like a Glock non-gun, evidenced by the closed barrel and the crude finish. Since the gun is kicked from his hand martial-arts style, it is not surprising that a non-gun is used.
Accuracy International Arctic Warfare
For his first assignment in Bangkok, Curtie chooses an Accuracy International Arctic Warfare tactical rifle in olive drab version. He uses it with both a regular as well as with a night vision scope. In addition, he uses some kind of custom-made silencer but because it sits halfway down the barrel it’s probably a prop with the sole purpose to make the gun look cool.
Barrett M82A1M
For his second assignment, Curtie picks a Barrett M82A1M from the impressive weapons cache that Jimmy keeps on board of the oriental junk moored in Bangkok harbour. Interestingly, it does not have the standard muzzle brake but rather a big suppressor that makes the rifle look even more massive than it already is.
AKS-47
Jimmy’s night club has a gambling joint where he likes to show off his weapon’s skills by betting with visitors how quick he is able to assemble an AKS-47 assault rifle blindfolded. The rifle appears to be some kind of modified version because it has several picatinny rails and does not have the traditional wooden grips but some kind of composite instead.
M16A1 Rifle with M203 grenade launcher
As a matter of last resort, Thai thugs who try to stop the fleeing Curtie, are employing an M16A1 with M203 Grenade Launcher. The shooter seems to be surprisingly skilled as he puts his first grenade right on top of the speeding van in which Curtie is leaving the scene.
M1928 Thompson
When Jimmy gives Curtie a tour of his warehouse gun cache, he picks up a M1928 Thompson submachine gun elaborating on a future business venture that will focus on guns actually used in movies (sounds familiar?!?).
SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper
For the final scene, Curtie chooses a SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper to clear Rajahdon’s brothel. He manufactures an unidentified duckbeak-shaped device and affixes it to the barrel. Apart from making the shotgun look like a vacuum cleaner this device does not seem to serve any practical purpose.
Miscellaneous
Gun cache in warehouse
When Curtie checks with Jimmy for the first time for ‘tools’, Jimmy takes him to his downtown warehouse. Here, Jimmy keeps a cache of predominantly historic weapons that he plans to use in a future business venture; a Hard Rock Café-style franchise which instead of guitars will have screen-used guns on the walls. It is possible that most wall-mounted guns are actually airguns or props.
Gun cache on junk
On a non-assuming junk in Bangkok harbour, Jimmy keeps a weapons cache that’s even more complete than the one in the warehouse. The place looks like a ‘gun candy store’, containing a wide array of historical and present-day pistols, rifles and everything in between. Here, again, it may be that most guns are props but there’s not enough detail to tell.
Unidentified rifle
An unidentified rifle is used by a Thai sniper trying to take out Curtie during one of his missions. The pronounced carrying handle seems to give it away as an Norinco QBZ-95 style rifle, but there’s not enough detail for a complete identification.
Unidentified pistol
During a car chase, one of the Thai thugs fires a rifle that cannot be clearly identified. The long barrel makes it look like a Detonics ScoreMaster but it could also be that the image was taken just as the slide was locking back.
