Ripley's Game is a 2002 Italian-American-British crime thriller directed by Liliana Cavani and based on the 1974 novel by Patricia Highsmith about the adventures of the con artist and murderer Tom Ripley. The movie stars John Malkovich, Dougray Scott and Ray Winstone.

The movie is the second screen adaptation of the original novel after The American Friend (1977) starring Dennis Hopper and Bruno Ganz.


The following weapons were used in the film Ripley's Game:


Revolvers

Smith & Wesson Model 64 or Model 65

One of the four gangsters (Sönke Korries) is armed with a stainless steel (not bright enough for nickel finish) revolver. This is a Smith & Wesson style model with unshrouded extractor rod and heavy barrel with ramp front sight. Possible versions are Smith & Wesson Model 64 or Model 65 with 3" barrel.

Pistols

Due to a continuity error, in the opening scene the pistol that Tom Ripley (John Malkovich) takes from Terry switches from a Bernardelli P-018 Compact (see below) to a Star Model 30P.

Glock 26

Jonathan Trevanny (Dougray Scott) uses a subcompact Glock, most likely a Glock 26 for the first assassination. The pistol is fitted with an obviously fake sound suppressor that is screwed inside the barrel.

Bernardelli P-018 Compact

In the opening scene Terry (Uwe Mansshardt), the bodyguard of the art forgery dealer, carries a pistol that appears to be a Bernardelli P-018 Compact. When Ripley takes the pistol from Terry, it switches to a Star Model 30 (see above) due to a continuity error.

Due to a continuity error, Gregor's pistol temporary switches from M1911A1 to a different M1911-style gun when he approaches to Ripley's villa. This pistol is also nickel plated (or stainless steel) but it has adjustable sights.

Blank Firing M1911 Replica

During the second assassination, Jonathan Trevanny (Dougray Scott) is armed with a suppressed M1911-style pistol. This gun is a top firing replica, as it can be seen when it fires, but it differs from most common Kimar or Bruni models.
