Sudden Death is a 1995 American action film starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as Darren McCord, a Pittsburgh firefighter who during a Stanley Cup finals game finds himself trying to save his daughter and the Vice-President, who have been taken hostage by a team of terrorists led by former government operative Joshua Foss (Powers Boothe). The film was directed by Peter Hyams from a story written by the wife of the then owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The majority of the film was shot during the 1994–95 NHL lockout in the Civic Arena, the actual arena of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The following weapons were used in the film Sudden Death:
Joshua Foss (Powers Boothe) carries a suppressed Heckler & Koch P9S that he uses to threaten Vice President Daniel Bender (Raymond J. Barry). Scratch (Jack Erdie) and Carla (Faith Minton) also use suppressed Heckler & Koch P9S. Darren McCord uses a P9S to shoot up through the helicopter's floor, killing Scratch and the pilot. It is also seen on the warehouse on the long table in the beginning of the film.
In some scenes, the suppressed Heckler & Koch P9S used by Joshua Foss, Scratch, and Carla switches to a suppressed SIG-Sauer "Non Gun" in a continuity error.
A suppressed M1911A1 is seen on the long table in the warehouse and is what Pratt (Fred Mancuso) uses to kill a spectator with when they besiege the arena in the beginning of the movie.
Several terrorists including Toowey (Brad Moniz), Wooton (Jophery C. Brown), Brody (Manny Perry) and Briggs (John Hateley) uses suppressed Micro Uzi's. After knocking Brody out with a hockey stick, firefighter Darren McCord (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is seen using Brody's micro Uzi.
Suppressed IMI Uzi submachine guns are used by numerous bad guys through the movie. Darren McCord takes one from a knocked out bad guy in the owner's box and uses it to kill two of them. Several suppressed IMI UZI's are seen on the long table in the villains warehouse in the beginning.
Suppressed Heckler & Koch SP89 mocked up as a MP5K's are used by some of the bad guys. This is noted because they lack the paddle magazine release on a real MP5K.
