Dead Bang (1989)

Dead Bang is a 1989 thriller starring Don Johnson as a relentless investigator with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department who uncovers a conspiracy involving white supremacists while investigating the murder of a fellow deputy. The film was directed by John Frankenheimer (Ronin) and was based on an actual case.

The following firearms were seen in the film Dead Bang:


Browning Hi-Power

The Browning Hi-Power is the preferred weapon of multiple characters in the film.

Trivia: An example of using camera angles to safely "shoot" an actor at close range. The image is distorted by the convex mirror, but the actor playing the killer is aiming away from the victim (who is 'squibbed' with blood hits). He is 'shooting' his blanks towards the far end of the counter.
