The White Storm is a 2013 Hong Kong crime action film directed by director/producer Benny Chan. In the film, the three close childhood friends, played by Sean Lau, Louis Koo and Nick Cheung respectively, are three members of the Hong Kong Police Narcotics Bureau. The three encounter live-or-die choices as they go against the Thailand drug lord Big Boss (aka Eight-faced Buddha). The film was followed by two sequels, The White Storm 2: Drug Lords, released in 2019, and The White Storm 3: Heaven or Hell, released in 2023.
The following weapons were used in the film The White Storm:
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Handguns
Walther P99
Ma Ho-tin (Sean Lau), the leader of a unit from the Hong Kong Police Narcotics Bureau, confiscates a Walther P99 with a stainless steel slide (an unlikely choice for Thai policemen) from a corrupt Thai cop, and uses it as his sidearm in Bangkok.
SIG-Sauer P250 Compact
The SIG-Sauer P250 Compact is used by HKPF Narcotics Bureau (NB) officers throughout the film as their primary firearm.
Heckler & Koch P30
Cheung Tsz-wai (Nick Cheung) confiscates a Heckler & Koch P30 from a Thai cop (again, an unlikely choice for Thai policemen) and uses it during the standoff against the Big Boss's mercenaries.
Type 64 Pistol
In the opening scene, Kanit (Xing Yu) fires a Type 64 pistol, wounding the breacher before being shot dead by Cheung Tsz-wai (Nick Cheung) and other officers.
Type 77 Pistol
When Kanit fires his pistol, the weapon turns into a Type 77 pistol. Cheung later hands Ma and So Type 77 pistols when confronting Big Boss's henchmen.
Beretta 92FS
Wong Shun-yik (Berg Ng) uses a Beretta 92FS in Thailand, as do the Big Boss's mercenaries and henchmen. Some of the pistols are non-firing props.
Taurus PT92AF
