Detroit 9000 is a 1973 blaxploitation film directed by Arthur Marks. Alex Rocco and Hari Rhodes star as two Detroit Police detectives who team up to investigate the theft of $400,000 from a political fundraiser. The film is notable for being a favorite of director Quentin Tarantino, who later re-released the film in 1998 under his Rolling Thunder distribution company.


The following weapons were used in the film Detroit 9000:
