Fear over the City (Peur sur la ville) is a 1975 French crime triller directed by Henri Verneuil and starring Jean-Paul Belmondo as Paris police Commissioner Jean Letellier. Letellier has two opponents: his old enemy, gangster Marcucci, and maniacal killer calling himself Minos.
The following weapons were used in the film Fear over the City (Peur sur la ville):
