The fictional [[(Red Heat) - Podbyrin 9.2 mm Pistol|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. Director Walter Hill wanted a "P38 but bigger and meaner. A P38 on Steroids", so movie armorer Tim LaFrance built three guns he named "The Hollywood Eagle". He used the Desert Eagle .357 Mk I pistols as a base and had to modify the entire profile to resemble a large Walther P38. According to LaFrance, the most difficult part of the blank adaption conversion was the gas porting. | The fictional [[(Red Heat) - Podbyrin 9.2 mm Pistol|Podbyrin 9.2mm Pistol]] is actually a modified Western [[Desert Eagle]] .357 Magnum.

Revision as of 03:41, 29 April 2013
Red Heat is a 1988 action thriller that stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as Ivan Danko, a Moscow police officer who travels to Chicago to bring back notorious Soviet (Georgian) drug dealer Viktor Rostavili (Ed O'Ross). When Viktor escapes custody, Danko partners with Chicago PD Detective Art Ridžić (James Belushi) as they attempt to track him down. The movie was directed by Walter Hill from a screenplay 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 following weapons were used in the film Red Heat:
Podbyrin 9.2mm Pistol (mocked up Desert Eagle .357)
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. Director Walter Hill wanted a "P38 but bigger and meaner. A P38 on Steroids", so movie armorer Tim LaFrance built three guns he named "The Hollywood Eagle". He used the Desert Eagle .357 Mk I pistols as a base and had to modify the entire profile to resemble a large Walther P38. According to LaFrance, the most difficult part of the blank adaption conversion was the gas porting.
BTJ DA38
The BTJ DA38, a.k.a "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.
Colt Government
Used by one of the Cleanheads sent to kill Danko, in his hotel room.
Colt Combat Commander
Seen held by one of the Cleanheads while outside Danko's hotel room.

A Snubnosed Smith & Wesson Model 629 with Pachmayr combat grips, is the sidearm of Chicago Police Detective Art Ridžić (James Belushi) in the movie.
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 regardless 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.
Wz. 64
Russian police officer Yuri Ogarkov (Oleg Vidov) uses an Wz. 64 pistol while 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 brokered truce.
AK-47
Seen in the hands of the Cleanheads during a 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.
