Red Heat (1988)

Red Heat is a 1988 Action film/comedy in which Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Soviet police officer Ivan Danko. His American partner is played by James Belushi. They work together to catch a powerful Soviet (Georgian) drug dealer, Viktor Rostavili. The movie was directed by Walter Hill (director), and written by Hill and Troy Kennedy Martin. This film was done while the Soviet Union still existed, thus it was extremely difficult for any U.S. movie armorer to get Soviet Bloc weapons, due to an ATF regulation (per State Department directive) that no weapons from any Communist bloc country be sold within the United States, (unless that country had signed a specific trade agreement, like China (Norinco), and Yugoslavia (Zastava imported by Mitchell Arms).)

Since the film depicted a Russian Cop as a hero, the filmmakers actually secured permission to do some filming in Moscow and the Soldiers marching in Red Square were real, as were their Parade SKS rifles. The other snowbound filming took place in Budapest, Hungary, which is why so many of the 'Soviet' Police (aka Militsia) were carrying FEG PA-63 Pistols (from Hungarian Weapons Armorers).


Podbyrin 9.2 mm

This is actually a modified Western Desert Eagle .357 Magnum. The Podbyrin does not exist and was made up as a prop for the movie to look more like a Soviet weapon. It is the main weapon for Ivan Danko (Arnold Schwarzenegger) for much of the movie, until he gets it taken away, due to his lack of a diplomatic license.

Walter Hill, the films director, has said in interviews that he wanted a "P38 on steroids".

BTJ DA38

The "sleeve pistol" used by Viktor Rosta(Ed O Ross). It was modified by Tim La France, who also modified the Desert Eagle, and made the sleeve device(A la Taxi Driver). The barrel of the derringer was cut off and a new one with a bore larger than a 12 gauge was machined, welded and blended into the original contours.

Rosta's heavily modified BTJ-DA38 as it 'fires' indicates that the flashes are small pyrotechnical charges (like a roadflare) rather than actual blank ammunition fire.

Taurus PT99

Several Taurus PT99 pistols are used by many random thugs in the movie:
