Error creating thumbnail: File missingRun, Lola, Run (aka Lola Rennt) (1998) The American release posters of this German film were pretty mundane compared to the excellent original European posters for the film, called Lola Rennt in German, which literally translates to "Lola runs".
The following guns were used in the movie Run, Lola, Run (Lola rennt):
Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu) carries a Walther PPK as his personal sidearm, and uses it in the grocery store robbery during the "first run".

In this scene, he notably de-cocks the weapon into double action mode, when it was previously in single action because he fired it into the air. Curiously, instead of using the decocking lever, he pulls the trigger and lowers the hammer, like one would do with a revolver.
Walther PP
A Walther PP is the sidearm of the bank security guard, Herr Schuster (Armin Rohde). Lola (Franka Potente) takes it from him, in order to rob the bank in the "second run". She remembers from the "first run" that Manni taught her to take the safety off (on the Walther P88). After Herr Schuster tells her to give it up, as she is untrained, she flicks off the safety and fires it at the wall behind him.
The security guard at the grocery store carries a Walther P88 Compact which is actually an Umarex 8mm Blank firing only replica of the Walther P88C. Lola (Franka Potente) later picks up the same pistol and wields it.
The SIG-Sauer P225 (as the "P6") was the standard weapon of the German Federal Border Force (the predecessor of the German Federal Police) as well as various state police forces at the time the movie was made.

The officers with the black berets are members of Berlin's Bereitschaftspolizei, a special rapid reaction and riot police unit. Notice that the officer on the far right, who accidentally shoots Lola, has sustained a stovepipe, or Type II, malfunction.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA Berlin police officer, startled by Lola throwing the bag of money into the air, accidentally fires his SIG-Sauer P225, hitting Lola (Franka Potente) directly in the chest during the "first run", the scene then abruptly restarts to the "second run". No real police officer would have his finger on the trigger, nor be shocked enough by something so simple to have a negligent discharge with his weapon.
