Detroit 9000 is a 1973 blaxploitation film directed by Arthur Marks. Alex Rocco and Hari Rhodes star as two Detroit Police detectives who team up to investigate the theft of $400,000 from a political fundraiser. The film is notable for being a favorite of director Quentin Tarantino, who later re-released the film in 1998 under his Rolling Thunder distribution company.
The following weapons were used in the film Detroit 9000:
Detroit Police Department officers and criminals both use the Smith & Wesson M&P revolver with both the 5" and 6" barrel throughout the film. The revolvers appear to be the pre-Model 10 model. S&W began numbering their models in 1957.
Detective Williams's partner Sam Orr (Ron Mcllwan) uses what appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 20 as his sidearm. Not the lack of adjustable sights (combat sights), the tapered barrel and the half-moon front sight. The actor has large hands which makes the large framed revolver appear just average seized.
The robbers use M16 (SP1) rifles - distinguishable by their flat sided receivers and three-prong flash hiders - while robbing Clayton's fundraiser. They later use the rifles when the police surround their hideout.
