From director John Badham (Blue Thunder), The Hard Way is a 1991 action comedy about spoiled actor Nick Lang (Michael J. Fox) who wants to be taken seriously as an actor by playing a tough cop. He tries to learn from veteran NYPD detective John Moss (James Woods), who doesn't want anything to do with him. Together they both pursue a serial killer known as "The Party Crasher" throughout New York City.


The following guns are used in the movie The Hard Way (1991):


Wildey

The Party Crasher (Stephen Lang) uses a Wildey Magnum semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 Winchester Magnum as his primary murder weapon. He uses hollowpoint safety bullets and laser sights to maintain his aim.

Glock 19

Lt. John Moss (James Woods) uses a 9mm Glock 19 as his sidearm. This was only the second film to feature a Glock pistol, the first being 1990's Die Hard 2. The Glock 19 was not even a year old when this movie was released (1991). At one point in the film, the Party Crasher gets ahold of it and shoots Nick Lang (Michael J. Fox).

Smith & Wesson Model 10

When Nick Lang explores Moss's apartment, he finds a snubnosed .38 Smith & Wesson Model 10. At one point where Moss tries to grant Lang's wish of knowing what it's like to kill someone, he loads it with blanks and Lang "shoots" a street worker. The S&W is also carried by Detectives Billy (L.L. Cool J), Ben Pooley (Luis Guzmán), Grainy (John Capodice) and China (Mary Mara).
