Friday Foster is a 1975 Blaxploitation film based on a Chicago Tribune comic that was directed by Arthur Marks. It stars Pam Grier as the titular Friday Foster, a (surprisingly so for a Pam Grier movie made in the 1970s) mild-mannered photographer who, on assignment on New Year’s Eve, discovers a plot set up by a black senator to kill Blake Tarr, the wealthiest black man in America.
Yaphet Kotto, Carl Weathers and Scatman Crothers co-star in one of Grier's last classic Blaxploitation roles.
The Following weapons appear in Friday Foster
Mauser C96
During the planning of Blake Tarr's assassination, Yarbro (Carl Weathers) carries a bag full of Mauser C96s which he passes out to the other conspirators. They use them when ambushing Tarr as he leaves his plane. In true Hollywood fashion, the killers fire off almost twenty rounds each despite only loading two-or-three rounds beforehand.
Star Model B
Colt Hawkins (Yaphet Kotto) carries a nickel-plated Star Model B with wood grips meant to impersonate a nickel Colt 1911. He draws it only twice in the film, both times the camera angle make it easy to identify as a Star. During the assault on Senator Hart's assembly of black leaders, Friday (Pam Grier) grabs and fires a blued Star once before dropping it in shock over killing a man.
