The Democratic Terrorist (1992)

The Democratic Terrorist (Den Demokratiske Terroristen) is a 1992 Swedish/German/Moroccan thriller directed by Per Berglund starring Stellan Skarsgård as Swedish spy Carl Hamilton. It was based on the 1987 novel of the same name by Jan Guillou. It was the third and final time Skarsgård would play Carl Hamilton. Despite taking place in Sweden and Germany and starring mostly Swedish and German actors, most of the dialogue is in English.

Carl, seemingly disgraced and dismissed from the Royal Swedish Navy, is tasked with infiltrating a Red Army Faction cell in Hamburg.

The following guns were used in the film The Democratic Terrorist (1992):


Handguns

Beretta 92F

Carl Hamilton's (Stellan Skarsgård) service weapon is a Beretta 92F. He refers to it as "his Beretta" in the dialogue.
