The Chinese AK/AKM variant, the Type 56 (and 56-1 the folding stock version) are the most commonly seen AK47/AKM rifle in movies and television (at least those done by U.S. Production companies). The Type 56 (fullstock) version is commonly seen in the movie, usually in the hands of terrorists of many different stripes. Terrorist guards from several organizations are seen wielding the weapon in Rangoon, Islamic Extremists in a mountain fortress in Tajikistan, and North Korean Soldiers.
In addition to the many Norinco Type 56 Chinese AK rifles, terrorists are also seen wielding what looks like original milled receiver AK-47 rifles with original front sights (not the hooded Type 56 sights). However, being how 'new' they look, they can be the third pattern AK-47 "Legend Series" rifles imported by Poly Technologies, Inc, between 1988-1989. Those were high end identical clones of the original AK-47 rifles but very few were imported.

A curious thing is that all the North Korean Troops carry the Yugo Zastava M70AB2 AK rifle (with a flashlight taped to the front hand guard).

I'll buy a replacement correct pistol grip and rephotograph the gun. :)Error creating thumbnail: File missingNorth Korean officer with a Zastava M70AB2 rifle - 7.62x39mm
Lt. Ben Gannon (Josh Lucas) takes a Heckler & Koch G36K fitted with AG36 grenade launcher from a Black Ops guard and uses it against them in the hangar. This is one of the earliest appearances of the grenade launcher in a film.
A Black Steyr AUG is held by a black ops guard, Gannon tell him to set it on the ground. When Gannon is ambushed, the guard picks it up again, but is shot by Gannon. Steyr AUG rifles can also be seen in the Alaska Base Armory.
An M4 Carbine is used by a guard to ambush Gannon. Also M4s are seen in the Alaska Base armory against the wall and being handed out to guys sent to kill Gannon.
