Johnny Dangerously was a 1984 screwball comedy, directed by Amy Heckerling (Fast Times at Ridgemont High / Clueless), starring Michael Keaton, Joe Piscopo, Peter Boyle and Danny DeVito. The film was a farcical tale of a 'good kid' gone bad as it followed the life of Johnny Kelly, played by Michael Keaton, who would later become the mysterious gangster "Johnny Dangerously" during the 1930s. The film at times, "broke the '4th wall'" in that the title character starts addressing the audience directly in the middle of the scene.
Early in the film, Johnny Dangerously wields an anachronistic Smith & Wesson Model 36 "Chiefs Special". It is identified by the style of ejector rod and the flat latch cylinder release.
Dundees' gang pulls their guns on an unwitting delivery man who drops off a suspicious crate at their office. One of the men carries a Smith & Wesson M&P Revolver.
The Star Model B is used by one of Dundees' men, presumably standing in for a M1911A1 pistol.

Hudson Replica Thompson M1928
A Hudson replica Thompson Submachine gun is used as evidence by District Attorney Kelly (Griffin Dunne) during the trial of Roman Moronie.
A short barreled Thompson submachine gun is smuggled to Johnny as he plots his escape from prison. It is made from a chopped up Hudson Thompson Replica and each piece, rather unrealistically, snaps together to form a firearm, though it is a bluff. When Johnny escapes he tosses the gun and it breaks apart.
