Producer Joel Silver was behind both movies, along with weapons specialist Michael Papac. With those two blockbusters, they made the Beretta 92F the perfect weapon for the macho heroes of the ’80s silver screen.
The prop pistol from both movies is actually now held at the NRA’s National Firearms Museum in Virginia.
