V.I.P. (1998-2002)

V.I.P. was a comedy action show by Sony Pictures Television that ran for four seasons on the UPN Network and was syndicated all over the United States. The show was intentionally campy and broad farce and captured the spirit of the 1990s with splashy colors and 'lightweight' villains (one of the last shows to elicit that "pre-9/11" feel). One thing the show had tons of was .... (no not girls in skimpy attire, which was the case) ... guns. And only on V.I.P. could Vallery's team have a full auto shoot out with bandits in the street and no vehicles or buildings are damaged. It was a low budgeted series and it showed, but the filmmakers kept up the light feel by not taking the show seriously at all.


The following guns were seen on the television show V.I.P.:

Seeing as this pistol looks very shiny and almost brand-new, I'd assume it's a Chinese-made imitation. Real "Broomhandles" are relatively rare.

AT4

  • In Season 1 - Episode 1 "Beats Working at a Hot Dog Stand", "Militia Leader" Jackson Lasarr (Dean Norris) uses an M136 AT4 Launcher with a Night Vision scope mounted against the VIP team. Militia leader Lasarr is the head of the fictional "Texas Mad Dog Militia". In the 1990s the favorite and only politically correct 'bogeyman' of Hollywood was the "White Christian Male Militia Member". But to be fair to V.I.P., wide shots of Lasarr's "anti Government" fringe group seem to have Hispanic, Asian and African American members as well, so they are an Equal opportunity fringe group.

It actually looks a bit like a CZ-82 with a suppressor. I see now the hammer isn't a ring like I thought, so this gun matches it more now. - Gunmaster45
