Kiss of the Dragon (2001)

Kiss of the Dragon is a 2001 action film starring Jet Li, Tchéky Karyo and Bridget Fonda. There is relatively little wire work, unusual for a modern kung fu film, resulting in some great fight scenes, especially between Jet Li and Cyril Raffaelli, who plays a henchman. Despite Li's character being a good police officer and a surprisingly good portrayal of the Communist Chinese government, this film was still banned in the People's Republic of China, a fact that Li was not very happy about.

The following weapons are used in Kiss of the Dragon:


Handguns

FN Model 1900 (Chinese copy)

Liu Jian (Jet Li) smuggles a Chinese made copy of the FN Model 1900, .32 ACP into France, which was later used to frame him.

It's rubber, but that's still got to hurt.

AR-15 type

French police carry an AR-15-type rifle. It's not very clear, but it has a forward assist and A2-style handguards.

Putting the distinctive A2 handguards on the older rifle was a method used by Movie/TV armorers to simulate A2 rifles when M16A1s were the only ones available. The same thing has been done vice-versa, Using M16A2's with A1 handguards for Vietnam War B Movies.

Other

Unknown Grenades

The bigger twin carries several grenades of an unknown type. Richard uses one to try to kill Liu Jian. A CGI model is used when Liu Jian tosses it back into the sleeve of a henchman. (In frame-by-frame, it actually disappears for a few frames.)

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
He carries a lot of grenades for a cop, much less a plainclothes cop.

Under barrel Grenade Launcher

Max's (John Forgeham) SG 552 has an unknown under barrel grenade launcher. It might be a SIG GL 5040. It could be a mockup as it is never fired.

Train Station Gun Stash

Numerous weapons are seen in the gun stash at the train station. Liu Jian can't use it however, as two cops see it the same time he does.

How did they get a dozen rifles and shotguns to the train station in the first place? Or how did they expect anyone to get it out of there?
