The following guns were used in the film Running Scared:
Running Scared is a 2006 crime thriller following a low life mobster named Joey Gazelle (Paul Walker). When a drug deal between mobsters and dirty cops goes bad, Joey is asked to dispose of their guns. Instead of throwing them in the river as he should, Joey hides the guns in his basement, which proves to be a mistake when Joey's son Nicky (Alex Neuberger) and his neighbor friend Oleg Yugorsky (Cameron Bright) witness him hiding them. Nicky steals the .38 snubnose used by Tommy "Tombs" Perello (Johnny Messner) and attempts to kill his abusive Russian stepfather, Anzor Yugorsky (Karel Roden), which he fails to do. To make matters worse, Anzor is cousins with mob boss Ivan Yugorsky (John Noble), who is displeased by this murder attempt. Now Joey must get the gun back, save Oleg, and hope he survives the night. Since the film was shot in Prague, all of the automatic handguns in the film are 8mm blank firing props to comply with the country's laws.
