Money Talks

Money Talks (1997)

Money Talks is the 1997 comedy that was the feature film directorial debut of Brett Ratner. Chris Tucker stars as a small time hustler in Los Angeles who reluctantly collaborates with an investigative reporter (Charlie Sheen) after a notorious criminal seeks revenge. The film also was the first of Ratner's four collaborations with Tucker (who would go on to be one of the stars of the Rush Hour trilogy).

The following weapons were used in the film Money Talks:

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch SP89 (mocked up as MP5K)

Aaron (Michael Wright) is seen going to a hidden cache of weapons and taking up what appears to be a two-tone Heckler & Koch SP89 made to look like an MP5K by adding the MP5K foregrip as well as "A2" style stock. This appears to be the same firearm wielded by Dennis Hopper in the film Speed. It can be noted as an SP89 instead of an MP5K due to the lack of a paddle magazine release behind the magazine and lack of a push-pin lower receiver. The weapon is seen in the hands of Franklin as well. A different SP89 mockup is also used.

An AT4 launcher is first seen in Aaron's hidden armory. Aaron is later seen using the launcher at the Coliseum. He is seen firing the weapon several times and a bag of extra missiles are seen nearby, suggesting the launcher can be reloaded. In reality, the AT4 is actually a single use system.
