Vengeance (Chinese title:復仇 / Fuk sau) is a 2009 film directed by Johnnie To about a French chef (Johnny Hallyday) who arrives in Macau to avenge the deaths of his daughter's family with the help of three hitmen. Along with The Mission (1999) and Exiled (2006), Vengeance forms an informal trilogy of films directed by Johnnie To which feature similar settings (Macau), themes (brotherhood and fatalism) and motifs (long, drawn out shootouts).

The following weapons were used in the film Vengeance:

Handguns

Colt Double Eagle

Costello (Johnny Hallyday) is given a Colt Double Eagle by Kwai (Anthony Wong) when he says he needs a gun himself. He uses this as his main sidearm throughout the film. Kwai writes the name of the man Costello seeking vengeance against on the slide: George Fung (Simon Yam), a powerful crime boss.

Heckler & Koch USP
