Nothing But Trouble (1991)


Spectre M4

The most prominent weapon in the film, the Spectre M4 SMG is carried by Valkenvania Police Chief Constable Dennis Valkenheiser (John Candy), and used by Constable 'Miss Purdah' (Valri Bromfield). The Spectres in the film do not have foregrips nor the folding stocks.

An interesting note, the semiautomatic-only version of the Spectre has no foregrip or folding stock, like the weapons in the film. However, the Spectre fired by Miss Purdah in the film is fully-automatic. As such, these guns could very well be either full-auto versions that simply have the foregrips and folding stocks removed, or perhaps semi-auto versions (with the firing gun simply being one converted to full-auto).

Colt Python

During a stop, an inebriated crook named Arthur (Daniel Baldwin) pulls a nickel-plated snub-nosed Colt Python on Dennis (John Candy), though it gets quickly knocked out of his hand. It is seen again a bit later on the desk of Judge Alvin Valkenheiser (Dan Aykroyd). A State Trooper at the end of the film also wields a full-sized blued-steel Python.

XM177E2

Interestingly enough, later in the film, Miss Purdah carries what appears to be an actual XM177E2 rifle, most likely standing in for the CAR-15 shown earlier. Like the CAR-15, it is never seen actually being fired, so it's likely this weapon may be a dummy gun or other non-firing prop. It is a very close looking example, in any case.

Walther PPK

Alvin Valkenheiser's (Dan Aykroyd) personal weapon appears to be a stainless Walther PPK pistol. Chris Thorne (Chevy Chase) very briefly handles this weapon. The PPK pistol in this film appears to have engraving on the slide and Ivory grips.
