Violent Night is a 2022 action comedy film directed by Tommy Wirkola and written by Pat Casey and Josh Miller. On Christmas night, Santa Claus finds himself in the middle of a conflict between the wealthy Lightstone family and violent mercenaries led by Christmas-hating Jimmy "Mr. Scrooge" Martinez. Now Santa Claus must save the little girl Trudy and help her family survive. Violent Night was released theaters in the United States on December 2, 2022.
The following weapons were used in the film Violent Night:
Scrooge's mercenaries are armed with Glock 17s in holsters. Roman "Jingle" O'Neal's (Finn McCager Higgins), "Tinsel"'s (Phong Giang) and "Peppermint"'s (Rawleigh Clements-Willis) pistols are visible but never used. The Lightstones' guards are also armed with Glocks. During most of the film, Kira "Candy Cane" David (Mitra Suri) carries her Glock in a holster on her vest and uses it during a confrontation with Trudy in the attic. After losing his main weapon in the midst of the fight, "Frosty" (Can Aydin) pulls out a gun in an attempt to kill Santa. Bjorn "Gingerbread" Johannessen (André Eriksen) also carries a gun in the shoulder holster and shoots several times when Santa escapes. Some of Gertrude's Kill Squad members can be seen with holstered pistols, but it is never used by anyone.
Jimmy "Scrooge" Martinez (John Leguizamo) is armed with a Grand Power X-Calibur as his primary weapon throughout the film. When he arrives at the gates of the Lightstone estate, he kills the guard Al (Ray Strachan) with the suppressed gun. In the mansion, Jimmy interrogates a tied-up Santa by threatening him with the gun.
During the gift-giving, Morgan Steel (Cam Gigandet) shows a preview of his new film "Explosive Force", where he poses with what appears to be a Tokarev TT-33.
After knocking out the guard in the guard's room, Bjorn "Gingerbread" Johannessen (André Eriksen) takes Heckler & Koch HK416 rifles out of the gun locker, later arming some of his accomplices. "Frosty" (Can Aydin) is armed with the HK416 while searching for the enemy. In the midst of the fight, Santa Claus (David Harbour) takes the gun, but quickly loses it. Nate "Krampus" Stukas (Brendan Fletcher) and "Peppermint" (Rawleigh Clements-Willis) are also armed with HK416 rifles with sights throughout the film. Santa picks up one of the dropped rifles and gives it to Linda Lightstone (Alexis Louder). Outside, Linda fires at the mercenaries and "Peppermint" fires back.
Most of Gertrude's Kill Squad members are armed with customized M4A1 rifles fitted with Trinity Force Atlas Keymod handguards, Magpul AFG2 grips, Aimpoint CompM4 red dot sights and weapon lights. These are the same guns built originally for The Predator and also used in Season 3 of Colony.
Many of Scrooge's mercenaries are armed with North Eastern Arms NEA-15 rifles with scopes and silencers. Jessica "Sugarplum" Prestwood (Stephanie Sy) loads her rifle when Björn gives the signal for action. "Tinsel" (Phong Giang) shoots the guards outside, and confronts Santa, after which his gun lies on the ground. An enraged "Scrooge" (John Leguizamo) takes a rifle from one of his mercenaries and shoots up the Christmas tree.
