Revision as of 03:05, 29 April 2015
The Thing is a 2011 horror film prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 classic horror film of the same name. The film stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Dr. Kate Loyd, who is invited to investigate a strange discovery in the Antarctica. The film co-star Joel Edgerton, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and Ulrich Thomsen.
The following weapons were used in the film The Thing:
Handguns
Walther P38
Peder (Stig Henrik Hoff) and Lars (Jørgen Langhelle) carry Walther P38 pistols as their sidearms in the film. Derek Jameson (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) gets a hold of Lars' Walther P38 at one point, and uses it from that point on.
Beretta 92FS
Sam Carter (Joel Edgerton) carries a Beretta 92FS as his sidearm in the film, and uses it after 'The Thing' escapes from the block of ice. This pistol is anachronistic, since the 92F/FS wasn't available in 1982, the time setting of the original film.
Rifles
Heckler & Koch HK33
Lars uses a Heckler & Koch HK33 rifle during the end, leading up to the events of the The Thing. You can see the lower receiver in the film, which confirms the rifle as the select fire version, unlike in the 1982 original (where a Heckler & Koch HK93 was used).
Other
Custom Flamethrower
Nearly all of the characters, including Sam Carter (Joel Edgerton), Dr. Kate Loyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Lars and Peder use a custom flamethrower throughout the film.
AN/M14 Incendiary Grenade
Lars (Jørgen Langhelle) shows Kate Loyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) where to find AN/M14 Incendiary Grenades if need be. Kate Loyd uses a couple of these grenades near the end of the film.
