The Two Jakes is the 1990 sequel to Chinatown directed by Jack Nicholson, who reprises his role as J.J. "Jake" Gittes. Many of the cast and crew of the first film return, including producer Robert Evans, writer Robert Towne, and Perry Lopez as Captain Lou Escobar. The few who did not return include John Huston, who had died, and director Roman Polanski, who was, and still is, wanted by American authorities. Towne had originally planned the film to be the middle film of a trilogy, but the poor critical and commercial performance of the film lead the third film to be shelved. (Contrary to urban legend, the script of the planned third film did NOT become Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which had been released two years prior.)
The following firearms can be seen in the film The Two Jakes:
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Jake Berman (Harvey Keitel) shoots Mark Bodine with a Smith & Wesson Model 36. Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson) says it's described in the police report as a ".38 caliber Smith & Wesson Police Special with a two inch barrel." Since the movie takes place in 1948, an S&W 36 is an anachronism.
Colt Model 1903/1908
Michael "Mickey Nice" Weisskopf (Rubén Blades) carries a nickel-plated Colt Model 1903/1908.
Colt Official Police
Detective Lieutenant Loach (David Keith) (son of Det. Loach from the first film) draws his Colt Official Police during his fight with Gittes. Gittes later takes it away from him.
Mk 2 Hand Grenade
Mickey Nice has his henchman Liberty Levine (Paulie DiCocco) force a Mk 2 Hand Grenade into the hands of Jake Gittes and remove the pin.
