Kuffs is a 1992 action comedy starring Christian Slater as George Kuffs, a young man who finds that he has inherited his deceased brother's Police Special District in San Francisco, where he has to learn the ropes on how to correctly protect the citizens in that district despite his lack of law enforcement experience. The film is known for its main character speaking directly to the audience and the cast featuring early appearances of Ashley Judd and Milla Jovovich. Ashley Judd was only 23 and her only previous acting appearance was as Ensign Lefler on the series Star Trek: The Next Generation (which was being produced at the same time as this film). Though the character of Maya Carlton is in her early 20s, Milla Jovovich was only fifteen years old when she appeared in this movie.
The following weapons were used in the film Kuffs:
George Kuffs (Christian Slater) carries the Beretta 92FS as his main sidearm in the film. He buys it from a gun store, where he asks the salesman to give him "a really big gun that holds a lot of bullets", to which the salesman replies, "God bless you, young man", and then shows him a "9 millimeter Beretta, 15 in the clip, 1 in the pipe." Kuffs then decides to buy two. A Beretta 92FS is also fired by one of Sam's thugs during the rooftop shootout.
The Smith & Wesson Model 29 is the main sidearm of Brad Kuffs (Bruce Boxleitner) at the beginning of the film. A Model 29 is also carried by SFPD Officer Ted Bukovsky (Tony Goldwyn) during the final rooftop shootout; he buys it at a gun store, where he refers to it as a ".44 Magnum".
The Smith & Wesson 639 is used by the suicidal jumper to shoot Kuffs before he jumps out the window. High speed film of a gun being actually fired was used for this sequence.
The SIG-Sauer P226 is fired by both Kuffs and Officer Bukovsky during the final rooftop shootout. The weapon is purchased by Bukovsky at the gun store; he even refers to it specifically as a "SIG 226".
A Beretta Cheetah is fired by one of Yakawia's men (Will Leong). On a side note, Yakawia is a gibberish name. Despite using syllables which are common in Japanese, there is no such name in the Japanese language.
A suppressed Heckler & Koch SP89 modified to resemble an MP5K is used by Kane (Leon Rippy) when he tries to kill Kuffs in his apartment. Also by one of Sam's hoods during the final shootout.

Giveaways are the lack of a paddle magazine release. This version was also used in movies between 1989 and the late 1990s when factory original MP5Ks were not available - 9x19mmError creating thumbnail: File missingKane (Leon Rippy) fires his suppressed SP89 at Kuffs.Error creating thumbnail: File missingCloseup of Kane's (Leon Rippy) suppressed SP89.

Micro Uzi
Yakawia's guards use Micro-Uzi's during the rooftop shootout.
Two gun stores are visited by Kuffs in the film, first when he purchases his Beretta and then when he and Bukovsky purchase both handguns and shotguns.
