Mesrine: Public Enemy Number 1

This Page has been created on 28th August 2010.

The Images have already been screencapped, I'm just arranging part 1 Killer Instinct, and then I'm going to finish this one - both movies are linked so I created them at the same time. Patience please!

Mesrine: Public Enemy Number 1 is Part 2 of a two-part 2008 French-Canadian "Mesrine" film series directed by Jean-François Richet and starring Vincent Cassel as the French gangster Jacques Mesrine. Public Enemy Number 1 (L'ennemi public n° 1 in the original French title) details Mesrine's criminal career after his escape from prison, and his subsequent brutal end. Part One was released as Mesrine: Killer Instinct (L'instinct de mort in the original French title).

The following firearms were used in the film Mesrine: Public Enemy Number 1:

Beretta 93R

Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel) is shown using a Beretta 93R machine pistol during the casino robbery. This is a fantastic pistol, so I'm showing a lot of photos of the muzzle blasts.

Beretta 93R.

Beretta 93R can be seen in the back. 1911 up front. Is that a Hi Power on the left?

That is definitely a M1911 on the left - SmithandWesson36

Note the unusual muzzle flashes caused by the compensator.

The pistol shoots 3 rounds at a time.

Note the amount of spent cases in the air!.

Great muzzle blasts from this pistol.

And now for some close ups.

OK, so this is just gun porn...

M1911

As with the last movie, Mesrine's pistol of choice is the M1911. In this scene he fires his pistol right in front of his accomplices ear, temporarily deafening him. The scene is shot with high speed film and allows us to see the pistol up close and in action.

Browning Hi-Power

Browning Hi-Power - 9mm Parabellum.

These last two are undoubtly Hi-Powers, man BeardedHoplite 01:06, 4 September 2010 (UTC) Thanks, always get confused between them - though I see the base of the handle is the giveaway.
