Subway is a 1985 French crime comedy drama about a man who is hiding in the fascinating world of the Parisian subway before the mafia and police. Written and directed by Luc Besson. Starring Christopher Lambert and Isabelle Adjani.

The following weapons were used in the film Subway:

Handguns

Astra 357

Helena (Isabelle Adjani) carries a Spanish Astra 357 revolver with a four inch barrel in her purse. This firearm is certainly an Astra (and not a similar Smith & Wesson) because it has a much thicker hammer that has no bluing or firing pin, a different cylinder release and a differently shaped trigger guard. Astras have thick wood grips that have medallions (like Smiths) and they also have an overall similar profile, so it is easy to confuse the two.

Helena pulls her Astra on Fred and calls for him to return her husband's documents. Note the lack of a firing pin on the hammer, which means this cannot be a Smith & Wesson Model 19.

Helena with her revolver held on the seller of musical instruments. Note the thick, straw-colored hammer and cylinder latch, which also shows this cannot be a similar Smith & Wesson.

After an encounter with the florist, Helena hides the Astra back in her purse.
