Bruni/BBM "ME-8 Police"

Thanks to a continuity break, Blade's (Roger Daltrey) Tanfoglio GT is briefly replaced by a different gun, a stainless Bruni/BBM "ME-8 Police" blank-firing prop gun, in the shot where he attempts to retrieve it after it is knocked from his hand by Ilsa. At the climax, Ilsa is seen shooting a "ME-8 Police", probably the same one taken from Blade when she killed him.
