Revision as of 06:30, 29 October 2012
Dangerous Ground is a 1997 action crime drama directed by Darrell Roodt . The film stars Ice Cube as Vusi Madlazi, a former student activist who, after 15 years of exile, returns to a post-apartheid South Africa in order to find his missing brother. The film also stars Elizabeth Hurley as Karen, the girlfriend of Vusi's brother, and Ving Rhames as crime lord Muki.
The following guns were used in Dangerous Ground:
Beretta M1934
Early in the film, Vusi Madlazi (Ice Cube) gets carjacked by a street gang. The gang's leader carries an engraved, nickel-plated Beretta M1934 pistol.
Beretta 92SB
Early in the film, a young Vusi (Thokozani Nkosi) is exiled by a South African policeman (Wilson Dunster), who threatens him with a Beretta 92SB pistol. The Beretta 92SB is also used by Muki's bodyguard (Simo Mogwaza) later in the film.
Glock 17
During a fight with members of a white nationalist gang, Vusi Madlazi (Ice Cube) takes a Glock 17 from the gang leader, and subsequently carries it for most of the film. The Glock 17 is also handled by Karen (Elizabeth Hurley), Muki (Ving Rhames), and several of Muki's henchmen.
Taurus PT92
In the climax of the film, Muki (Ving Rhames) uses a modified Taurus PT92 fitted with a compensator and custom grips. This gun is also handled by his right-hand man (Ernest Ndlovu).
Wilson Combat ADP
Muki's mistress (Candy Jack Lee) fires at Vusi with an Wilson Combat ADP pistol from a hot tub.
Varan PMX-80
Muki (Ving Rhames) uses a Varan PMX-80 as one of his two pistols in the climax, along with a custom Taurus PT92.
Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver
One of Muki's bodyguards is armed with a nickel-plated Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver.
Vektor R4 (mocked up as AK-47)
In the climax of the film, both Vusi (Ice Cube) and Ernest (Sechaba Morojele) Madlazi arm themselves with Vektor R4 rifles that are mocked-up as AK-47s. These modified R4 rifles are now very commonly seen in South African productions, though Dangerous Ground appears to be one of the earliest movies to feature them. Ernest's rifle has an under-folding stock, while Vusi's rifle has no stock at all. A modified R4 is also used by a carjacker in the beginning of the movie.
Norinco Type 56-1
Karen (Elizabeth Hurley) uses a Norinco Type 56-1 in the climax of the film, rather than the modified Vektor R4s used by Vusi and Ernest.
Micro Uzi
One of Muki's bodyguards uses what appears to be a Micro Uzi that has been nickel-plated.
Armscor M30R6
A sawed-off Armscor M30R6 is used by one of Muki's thugs at the end of the film.
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun (Sawed off)
Another Muki´s men carries a sawed-off 12-gauge double-barreled shotgun.
Time-Bomb
Ernest Madlazi (Sechaba Morojele) sets a custom time bomb at the end of the film.
