Get Shorty (1995)

Get Shorty is the 1995 feature film adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel of the same name. Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black), the film stars John Travolta as Chili Palmer, a Miami loan shark asked to collect a debt from a Hollywood producer, and subsequently pitches a movie idea based on his life. Travolta would return as Palmer in the 2005 sequel Be Cool.

The following guns were used in the film Get Shorty:


Pistols

Walther PPK

Ray "Bones" Barboni (Dennis Farina) uses a Walther PPK when he goes to Chili Palmer's office in Miami to shoot him.

AMT Backup

Ray Bones (Dennis Farina) uses a AMT Backup to shoot Ronnie Wingate, then places the gun in the hand of Harry Zimm (Gene Hackman), who is blamed for the shooting. When Ronnie (Jon Gries) realizes too late that his trusty Smith & Wesson Model 67 is in his belt, while Ray's is in his hand, he tries to disconcert Ray by referring to Ray's as a "Wop 9 ... the Fiat of guns, always jammin' on you at the wrong time," to which Ray responds by shooting him four times with the AMT.

Colt Gold Cup National Match

Bo Catlett (Delroy Lindo) uses a Colt Gold Cup National Match during the film (N.B. In the book, the weapon Ronnie shows off, which Bo later "borrows" to shoot Yayo and threaten Chili, is a long-slide AMT Hardballer).
