Heaven's Burning (1997)


Heaven’s Burning is a 1997 road movie set in southern Australia. It tells the tragic story of Collin O'Brien (Russell Crowe) who accepts to be the driver of a run-away car during a bank robbery. When the robbery goes horribly wrong, the robbers kidnap Japanese tourist Midori Takada (Youki Kudoh), who’s just run away from her husband during their honeymoon in Australia. After a while, the robbers decide to kill their hostage but Collin, who now sees himself getting dragged into a downward violent spiral, saves her.

The two run-aways Collin and Midori take off on a journey through the Australian outback making a living by robbing banks, with an unlikely but intense love relationship developing between the two of them. During their journey, they are chased by the police, Midori’s dishonoured husband Yukio Takada (Kenji Isomura) who has turned insane plus members of the Afghan emigrant family who planned the bank robbery.


The following weapons were used in the film Heaven's Burning:

When destiny catches up with the two run-aways, Midori aims the Smith & Wesson Model 28 at her husband Yukio who’s been chasing the couple halfway through southern Australia. Note how massive the gun looks in her frail hands.


Beretta 92FS

A Beretta 92FS is the gun of choice for Mahood (Robert Mammone), the second of the Afghan brothers. It’s noteworthy that he constantly keeps the gun sideways ‘ghetto-style’.

Springfield Armory Omega

Several characters are using what appears to be the same Springfield Armory Omega. It’s first used during the bank robbery scene by Tony (Patrick Dugin) and the security guard, who may have picked it up when it was dropped by Tony. Later on it’s used by Midori’s husband Yukio (Kenji Isomura) who uses it for the remainder of the movie.

In one of the more noteworthy scenes of the movie, Yukio is handed the Springfield Armory Omega by his translator so that he can revenge his honour. He picks it up and while studying the gun he accidentally fires it, shooting the translator. There does not seem to be any recoil so the shot’s probably CGI for the actors safety.

Unidentified Shotgun

One SWAT officer carries what appears to be a shotgun with a scope. It cannot be properly identified due to the bad light situation and in fact it could also be an over/under hunting rifle or some sort of air rifle.

Rifles

M1 Carbine

Another member of the SWAT team carries a M1/M1A1 Carbine, which seems to be a rather outdated weapon to be carried by a SWAT team.
