Revision as of 11:28, 12 July 2009
Red Heat is a 1988 Action film/comedy in which Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Soviet police officer Ivan Danko. His American partner is played by James Belushi as Chicago Police Detective Art Ridžić. They work together to catch a powerful Soviet (Georgian) drug dealer, Viktor Rostavili, played by Ed O'Ross.
The movie was directed by Walter Hill, and written by Hill and Troy Kennedy Martin. This film was done while the Soviet Union still existed, thus it was extremely difficult for any U.S. movie armorer to get Soviet Bloc weapons, due to an ATF regulation (per State Department directive) that no weapons from any Communist bloc country be sold within the United States, (unless that country had signed a specific trade agreement, like China (Norinco), and Yugoslavia (Zastava imported by Mitchell Arms.)**
**{Many AKMs (ARM/MISR) were imported from Egypt with no special agreement since Egypt was not a communist country, nor had ever been one.))
Since the film depicted a Russian Cop as a hero, the filmmakers actually secured permission to do some filming in Moscow and the Soldiers marching in Red Square were real, as were their Parade SKS rifles. The other snowbound filming took place in Budapest, Hungary, which is why so many of the 'Soviet' Police (aka Militsia) were carrying FEG PA-63 Pistols (from Hungarian Weapons Armorers).
The fictional Podbyrin 9.2mm Pistol is actually a modified Western Desert Eagle .357 Magnum. The Podbyrin does not exist and was made up as a prop for the movie to look more like a Soviet weapon. It is the main weapon for Capt. Ivan Danko (Arnold Schwarzenegger) for much of the movie, until he gets it taken away, due to his lack of a diplomatic license.
Walter Hill, the films director, has said in interviews that he wanted a "P38 on steroids".
BTJ DA38
The BTJ DA38 a.ka "sleeve pistol" used by Viktor 'Rosta' Rostavili (Ed O'Ross). It was modified by Tim La France, who also modified the Desert Eagle, and made the sleeve device(A la Taxi Driver). The barrel of the derringer was cut off and a new one with a bore larger than a 12 gauge was machined, welded and blended into the original contours.
Taurus PT99
Several Taurus PT99 pistols are used by the hit squad of Cleanheads sent after Danko in his hotel room.
M1911A1 - Two Tone
Used by one of the Cleanheads sent to kill Danko, in his hotel room.
Beretta 92FS
Used by Josip Barada (Tengiz Borisoff) dressed in drag as a female nurse, to shoot at Danko in the hospital corridor.
Heckler & Koch P9S
One of the weapons employed by Viktor 'Rosta' Rostavili are a pair of Heckler & Koch P9S pistols - one with a black slide, the other with a Stainless slide.
Smith & Wesson Model 36 Chiefs Special
Carried by Lt. Charlie Stobbs (Laurence Fishburne) during the raid on the Cleanhead Apartment.
Smith & Wesson Model 64
Det. Sgt. Gallagher (Richard Bright) carries what looks like a S&W Model 10 snubnose, except in Stainless steel, which would make it the S&W Model 64.
Smith & Wesson Model 586
Carried by Cleanheads and one of Rosta's henchmen when they break Viktor Rosta free.
Smith & Wesson Model 66 Snubnose
A Snubnosed Smith & Wesson Model 66 with Pachmayr combat grips, is the sidearm of Chicago Police Detective Art Ridžić (Jim Belushi) in the movie.
- Looks too big to be a K-Frame S&W 66. You can also tell by the barrel and the subtle difference in the shape of the ejector shroud (compared to a 2.5" Model 66 barrel.) that it is probably an N-Frame 629 with 3" barrel in .44 Magnum. This makes sense if Belushi's character gives Arnie a full-sized Model 29. He probably really liked the "big" Magnums! - --sidspappy 20:16, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
I think you're on to something there!!!! :) Something to look into! I will try to find a 629 snubbie to photograph for comparison! THANKS! MoviePropMaster2008 01:52, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
Smith & Wesson Model 29
One of the guns used by Danko is the Smith & Wesson Model 29. Though Ridžić gives Danko the revolver, he gives him no spare ammunition, so in typical "Hollywood" Fashion, Danko fires eighteen shots out of the six shot revolver without reloading.
Smith & Wesson Model 38 "Bodyguard"
Carried by a hooker in her purse and used to save Danko's life, but later is discarded in the Hotel room. This was probably an attempt to disassociate herself with the killing, but to no avail, since she is questioned about shooting the Cleanhead by the CPD later. The hooker was played by actress (Gretchen Palmer) who would later become a familiar face on television.
FEG PA-63
Used by nearly all parties (other than Danko) during the shootout after the fight in the Druzba Cafe. Note: This entire sequence was filmed in Budapest, Hungary, and used Hungarian Armorers
FEG MAK380
A Hungarian clone of the Makarov PM with slight design differences, the Hungarian FEG MAK380 is used by the Russian police officers in pursuit of Viktor Rosta in the snow.
Remington 870 Shotgun
Seen in the hands of a Cleanhead during a Chicago Police raid on a Cleanheads apartment. It appears to be a Remington 870 with the early 1980s style combat rig, extended magazine tube and sling loop, however this one has a pistol grip only. A very similar setup is used by Schwarzenegger as John Matrix in Commando.
SKS Rifle
Used by Red Square parade soldiers during the title sequence.
M16A1
An M16A1 or a similar AR-15 rifle variant is carried by a Cleanhead.
CAR-15 Variant
Seen in the hands of the Cleanheads during a Cleanhead brokered truce.
AK-47
Seen in the hands of the Cleanheads during a Cleanhead brokered truce.
Heckler & Koch 94
A full length barreled Heckler & Koch 94 Carbine is seen held by a Cleanhead. It has the ventilated barrel shroud and foregrip, as seen in Schwarzenegger's previous films Raw Deal and The Running Man.
