Garcia plays the small-time gangster Jimmy "The Saint" Tosnia who is attempting to go legit and leave the criminal world behind him. His business is failing and a local crime lord "The Man With The Plan" (Christopher Walken), who Tosnia owes money too, gives him a chance to clear his debt by performing a service for him.

The following weapons were used in the film Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead:

WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

M1911

One of the thugs at Baby Sinister's (Glenn Plummer) club is armed with a M1911 with a nickel finish. Due to the lack of screentime it's almost impossible to ascertain the exact model.

Colt MK IV Series 70, Nickel finish - .45 ACP

Beretta 92FS Inox

The assassin Mr. Shhh (Steve Buscemi) takes a Beretta 92FS Inox from "Baby Sinister" and uses it to dispatch several of his henchmen at the latter's club.

Smith & Wesson Model 610 (probable)

"Pieces" Olden (Christopher Lloyd) carries what appears to be a S&W Model 610 with a 6.5" Barrel. Due to the rainy and dark conditions, plus the camera never properly shows the weapon, it is hard to properly identify the weapon.

The middle rifle is a M16 variant, though as no closeup is provided it's hard to properly identify the variant.
