==Harpoon==
One of the props on the set of Peter Swan's ([[Liam Neeson]]) new film is a high-powered Harpoon gun, which for unknown reasons '''actually fires''' harpoons. On real film sets, deadly weapons are typically avoided for obvious reasons. At the end of the film, Insp. Callahan ([[Clint Eastwood]]) uses the Harpoon gun to kill Harlan Rook ([[David Hunt]]), after he runs out of bullets. Members of the band '''''Guns N' Roses''''' make a cameo appearance as the crew firing the harpoon during the movie within a movie.

The Dead Pool is the fifth (and perhaps final) installment in the Dirty Harry film franchise. The 1988 sequel finds Inspector Callahan (Clint Eastwood) trying to solve a series of murders that appears to be linked to a list of celebrities that were deemed likely to be dead in the near future. The film's cast included Liam Neeson, Evan Kim as well as the feature film debut of Jim Carrey.
The following weapons were used in the film The Dead Pool:
When crime kingpin Lou Janero's (Anthony Charnota) henchmen open fire at Insp. Callahan (Clint Eastwood) during their attempts to kill him at a freeway exit, some of them are armed with IMI Uzi submachine guns. Later when Callahan is with Samantha Walker (Patricia Clarkson) in the elevator, two more henchmen open fire on them with Uzis.
A Browning Hi-Power is used by the lead robber in the Chinese Restaurant. One is also seen in the shoulder holster of one of the bodyguards hired to protect Insp. Callahan (Clint Eastwood). The bodyguard is played by Clint Eastwood's stand-in.
