Tango & Cash (1989)

Tango & Cash is a 1989 action film starring Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell as mismatched LAPD narcotics detectives who find they must work together to find out who set them up to take the fall for the murder of a federal agent.


The following weapons were used in the film Tango & Cash:

Revolvers

Smith & Wesson Model 36 "Chief's Special"

The Smith & Wesson Model 36 is the revolver carried by LAPD Detective Ray Tango (Sylvester Stallone). In an homage to Jackie Chan's Police Story, he uses it in the opening sequence when facing down an approaching big rig that is transporting cocaine. He appears to be able to hit the windshield, and make a tight group, from a long distance, despite the poor sights on the gun. Tango also is seen taking the Model 36 from Federal Agent Wyler (Lewis Arquette) during a confrontation. Tango later gives Cash his revolver during the quarry chase.

Detonics Scoremaster

Browning Hi-Power

The Browning Hi-Power can be seen being used by Cash (Kurt Russell). An error can be noticed in the roof scene. Cash pulls the slide back to put a round in the chamber, but the slide stays opened. In the following scene, the pistol is pointed at Requin's leg, but now the slide is locked. In the next scene however, the slide is open again.

Walther PPK/S

A stainless steel Walther PPK/S is Cash's backup gun. When he takes his handgun from his drawer, he mentions the someone must be messing with his gun because the sights are off. In this Walter, the rear sight is dovetailed into the slide and adjustable, but the front sight is fixed. When it is later found at a crime scene, the gun is fitted with a sound suppressor.

Interestingly, this shot shows how camera angles are often used to make it seem like weapons are being held to an actor's head when actually, due to safety reasons, they are not - on the right side of the picture Jack Palance appears to be holding the gun to Teri Hatcher's temple, but from the left you can see he's actually holding it in front of her.

LAR Grizzly Win Mag

When Cash is threatened, Tango surprises Requin (Brion James) with a LAR Grizzly Win Mag. The two-tone pistol appears to be the same one seen in the film Turner & Hooch.

Machine Guns

Fictional Gatling Gun

The vehicle Tango & Cash "borrow" is fitted with a what appears to be a six-barreled Gatling-type weapon. Judging from the bore, the weapon's caliber appears to be 30mm. Though rotary barrel auto cannons appear all over the world in similar calibers (mostly mounted on gunships) this is a purely fantasy weapon.
