Johnny Dangerously was a 1984 screwball comedy, directed by Amy Heckerling (Fast Times at Ridgemont High / Clueless), starring Michael Keaton, Joe Piscopo, Peter Boyle and Danny DeVito. The film was a farcical tale of a 'good kid' gone bad and at times, "broke the '4th wall'" in that the title character starts addressing the audience directly in the middle of the scene.
Early in the film, Johnny Dangerously wields an anachronistic Smith & Wesson Model 36 "Chiefs Special". It is identified by the style of ejector rod and the flat latch cylinder release.
