Sheriff's Star (Russian: Звезда шерифа; Zvezda sherifa, Ukrainian: Зiрка шерифа; Zirka Sheryfa) is a 1991 (released in 1992) Soviet (Ukrainian) detective film, based on the novel "The Naked Face" by Sidney Sheldon.

In contrast to the earlier, more famous 1984 movie adaptation by Menahem Golan, the plot of this film is very close to the original book, with the only difference being that the action is set in contemporary times.


The following weapons were used in the film Sheriff's Star (Zvezda sherifa):

It is the same gun which changed hands several times.

This is the exact same modified Nagant revolver that was previously used in the 1988 film New Adventures of a Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and later used in the 1992 film Four Sheets of Plywood, and the 1993 film Killer's Wedge (because all films had the same armorers).
