Innerspace (1987)

Innerspace is a 1987 science fiction comedy directed by Joe Dante and starring Dennis Quaid as Tuck Pendleton, a test pilot who participates in a scientific experiment to command a special pod that can been miniaturized to the point where it and the pilot can be injected into the bloodstream of a living being. After a botched robbery, Tuck finds himself injected into the body of Jack Putter (Martin Short), a mild-mannered grocery store employee. The film's cast included Meg Ryan, Vernon Wells, and frequent Joe Dante collaborators Robert Picardo, Kathleen Freeman, Kenneth Tobey, and Kevin McCarthy.



The following weapons were used in the film Innerspace:


Submachine Guns

Micro-Uzi

Several of the men who raid Vectorscope Labs are armed with Micro-Uzi machine pistols. They never fire them - they instead spray the scientists with knockout gas, making the presence of the guns somewhat pointless.

Handguns

Prosthetic "Gun Hand"

Assassin Mr. Igoe (Vernon Wells) is missing his right hand, and so has it replaced with a high-tech prosthesis system that lets him swap out his ordinary cosmetic hand for a variety of different weapons (a blowtorch, a drill, etc.). One of these is a silenced gun disguised as a gloved cosmetic hand with a pointing index finger. The pointing finger is the gun barrel. This is a entirely fictional weapon and the "gunshot" it produces merely a muted squib.

Beretta 92SB-C

A henchman posing as a messenger (Archie Hahn) pulls a Beretta 92SB-C after gaining entry into Jack Putter's apartment. Later, Scrimshaw's blond henchman (Jason Laskay) has a Beretta 92SB-C in a shoulder holster. Lydia steals it from him after knocking him out. Apparently, he fired it several times prior as the weapon runs empty after being fired only twice (once in the air to get the villains' attention, and a second time accidentally while gesturing with the weapon). In reality, the the slide would lock back when empty, but it works as "comedic licence."

Derringer

Jack Putter (Martin Short) has a recurring nightmare wherein an unpleasant woman at a supermarket checkout counter pulls what he describes as a "little, pearl-handled pistol" (resembling a Derringer) and shoots him. Jack then encounters this Dream Lady (Kathleen Freeman) in real life, who proceeds to pull out the Derringer-type pistol.

Other

M16 (Toy Replica)

Taser Gun

Lydia Maxwell (Meg Ryan) at one point pulls a Taser gun on Mr. Igoe when he attempts to kidnap Jack. She claims it shoots up to "20,000 volts." She fires it, but it doesn't work as planned. Later, Scrimshaw's blond henchman accidentally knocks himself out when he touches the taser while rifling through Lydia's purse.

Trivia Section

  • The shooting script for Innerspace was much more violent and less comedic, featuring many deaths and consequently more gunplay. In particular, when the robbers break into Vectorscope, in the script, they are all armed with machine guns and shoot the scientists. Also, later, Scrimshaw's blond henchman shoots at Meg and Jack with an M16.
