The movie is the second screen adaptation of the original novel after The American Friend (1977) starring Dennis Hopper and Bruno Ganz.

The following weapons were used in the film Ripley's Game:

Revolvers

Smith & Wesson Model 64 or Model 65

One of the four gangsters (Sönke Korries) is armed with a stainless steel (not bright enough for nickel finish) revolver. This is a Smith & Wesson style model with unshrouded extractor rod and heavy barrel with ramp front sight. Possible versions are Smith & Wesson Model 64 or Model 65 with 3" barrel.

For comparison: Smith & Wesson Model 64 with 3" heavy barrel - .38 Special

For comparison: Smith & Wesson Model 65 with 3" barrel - .357 Magnum
