Revision as of 17:09, 31 March 2010
Maniac is a 1980 cult horror slasher/splatter directed by William Lustig, most known for famed character actor Joe Spinell outstanding performance as a psychotic serial killer Frank Zito, incredible special make-up effects by genre cult guru Tom Savini and neo-noir dark romantic depiction of New York.
The following weapons were used in the movie Maniac:
Unknown double barreled shotgun
Frank Zito (Joe Spinell) using unknown double barreled shotgun in the most famous scene of the movie, where he shoots disco boy (Tom Savini) and disco girl (Hyla Marrow)with it in their car. Zito uses a violin case to illegally hide his weapon, when he's in the city.
Unknown sports or air pistol
Frank Zito using unknown pistol held in special case, while practicing shooting in his apartment. He didn't fire this pistol in the movie, but there is a bullet holes in the wall, presumably by bullets shot from this pistol.
Colt Detective Special
Police detectives (Randy Jurgensen and Jimmy Aurichio), that arrived in Zito's apartament in the movie's final scene using two Colt Detective Special revolvers.
Machete
One of Frank Zito's weapons in the film is rarely used machete. In the film it's mostly seen on the table until hallucination scene, where it's picked up from the violin case (same one used to held the shotgun) by one of the mannequins of killed girls with her scalps on it, and then used to cut out Zito's arm. Interesting fact, that it was the same prop machete, that was used by Tom Savini in Dawn of the Dead (1978) as motorcycle rider named Blades.
Bayonet
Bayonet used by Zito in the scene, where he chases nurse (Kelly Piper)in the subway station and then killing her in station's toilet with this bayonet in her back.
