@@Chrisblau Damn right brother...All of a sudden i wanna watch it again..😁😁😁 Chris i actuallyI thought you were gonna say" I will not give that order!" 🤣🤣🤣
It's because in die hard with a vengeance mcclane loses his beretta on the boat when he gets caught by Simon. But yes by all accounts he should have been given another 92fs instead of the sig 220 in live free or die hard
@@jakefrye2390 I know it wasn’t perfect. Got over shadowed. Cause it came out right around Matrix as well. But the gun play was interesting, over the top and no realistic but fun. And those 92s were awesome in that movie. Welp now I gotta go watch it lol
The Replacement Killers. I remember as a kid when that came out, my dad and I would watch it over and over just because of all of the Berettas and we were huge Beretta fans. Still are to this day!!
I've hear from the old movie gun rental companies that the 92F are the most reliable guns to run blanks with. Probably why John Woo likes using them. Chow Young-Fat mentioned in "The Replacement Killers" he fired so many blank rounds in one day he couldn't eat with chop sticks for a week. 😂
I remember it was Steambridge Gun rentals in 1997 who said the Beretta 92 was the most reliable handgun with blanks in Guns Magazines before they got bought out
@@BrianKern2121 John Woo also likes them because they're quite large as well as high capacity, so they have awesome screen presence and you can shoot them constantly without reloading, something Woo famously never gave a damn about (and even questioned why American moviegoers cared so much about that).
According to an interview by John Woo, he chose the Beretta 92 because the gun looked sexy. Back then, he had basically no knowledge of fire arms whatsover but the design of the Beretta really caught his eye.
Lethal Weapon is by far one of the top 3 trilogies in my opinion where they were all good. The other two were Bourne series and the Matrix. Yes I know there were 4 parts to all of these. But the 1st 3 hands down were amazing.
@@1911syndicate I own one of the two Auto-9’s used in the first RoboCop. With the exception of the 93r frame. Mine was mounted on a Taurus frame (because of the frame mounted safety) for display.
Equilibrium should have been on the list instead of Underworld, it also features a protagonist who dual wields full auto 92s but the aesthetic mods for them are much better, the style of dual wielding is the best in all of cinema and though it's also a movie about nerd stuff it's much more high minded and thought provoking nerd stuff, though just as cheesy
If you love 92s, check out the movie The Big Hit with Mark Wahlberg. Lots of dual wielding, out of control, fun. Lou Diamond Phillips and Avery Brooks are just classic in that film!
Thank you for a really good video showcasing the Beretta 92 in movies it really is one of the iconic guns. Like I said in the short that's why I still have it in my rotation only because I carried a M9
I picked a PX4 as my beretta representative. 92 is generic for how long its been around. If I got a 92, I'd turn it into a Resident Evil kendo shop special.
In the first Lethal Weapon there’s a deleted scene where Riggs takes out a school sniper with his Beretta, mag dumps at the window then reloads. BADASS
I won't lie, the 92 is my favorite pistol of all time. So much so, that I even have a soft spot for the Taurus PT92. The same, but different. The 92 design comes off a bit clunky these days, but I see it personally as timeless.
You missed out two of THE MOST ICONIC 92s ever in cinema history. The Samurai Edge M92F used by S.T.A.R.S operatives in Resident Evil and the standard issue full auto 92FS of Grammaton Clerics in Equilibrium.
The Beretta 92 was the reason my family got into firearms. My dad thought it was cool and got one. Nobody in my entire family ever owned a gun before that and we became addicted from there. We never had to use any of our firearms for self defense, but we are ready to do so if it ever happens. This was only made possible because my dad thought the Beretta 92 was cool lol
I get why he didn’t mention black lagoon in this bc it isn’t rlly a movie but come on it’s literally shown off so many damn times throughout the series
I watched all the karate movies of the 80’s and 90’s. I get a mix of emotions when I see the now. Nostalgia for sure, but also embarrassment when I see how cheesey they were. The Chuck Norris movies were cheesey, but the Van Damm ones are downright awful. How the hell did I ever take them seriously? I used to practice the stupid Van Damm kicks in the basement as I watched him on screen. Took out more than one lamps that way. But I don’t cringe at my love for the 92. Die Hard and Lethal Weapon drive me to get one as soon as I could. I’ve had a bunch of them. Really regret selling my all INOX model and the INOX Cougar I had.
A couple of films that really should’ve made it to this list. 1, A Better Tomorrow 2 the absolute amazing gun play in that movie with the 92 duel wield is insane. The part in the building sliding down the stairs and then in the house at the end. 2, Nemesis 1992 the modification on the 92 in that movie is beautiful. Two films I think where the 92 was almost a big a part as the actors. Lethal Weapon is definitely the most iconic though and the first movie I saw the gun in as a kid and loved it from there on. 🙌🏻
Nice work boys as always. I obtained and maintained a massive Beretta boner throughout the whole video. I think I need a third Beretta 92... 🙂 And if I was forced to pick my favorite Beretta 92 movie series - I just have to pick the Lethal Weapon tetralogy. If forced to pick one movie - definitely Ronin. For some weird reason Ronin always comes to mind first.
This one gave me the chills as I got reminded of my younger years - my dad, brothers and myself watching vhs action flicks on a Friday night. What an homage to the sexiest pistol ever conceived. 🤙
I think the part in lethal weapon where riggs is preparing to end it, and the scene shows the 92 HYPER clear with the muted background, and the zoomed in shot as he puts the 9mm round in the chamber.. its so artfully done and really shows the lines and beauty of the pistol.
Yeah. The grip medallion was not standard at all though. Clearly put in the to identify the brand. Not to mention the scene where Murtaugh checks out Riggs’ gun. I can recite his lines word for word. “Hmm. 9MM Beretta, 15 rounds in the magazine, one in the chamber. Wide ejection port. No feed jams”. Sounded like an intentionally written in commercial and it surely worked.
Yeah got the Beretta 92a1. Love it so much. Its used in the bourne trilogy my personal favorite spy series. Jason Bourne uses it in bourne supremacy and an assassin uses it in the Bourne ultimatum. Jason uses the 92FS and the assassin uses a variation the 92SB.
Not all 92s are cheap. Try pricing a Beretta 92 Fusion on Gun Broker. They will set you back 12K-13k. The base 92FS starts at 700 bucks in my area. Also a 92 needs Nothing to run a suppressor and threaded barrels can be picked easy for the 92. Every lefty should also own a 92😊.
S&W M&P 2, CZ Shadow 2 (or Jericho 941), H&K P30L or VP9 (Hammer or striker whatever is preferred), Colt Revolver, 19/2011 (saying the 2011 won’t be remembered in 100 is cope)
Jake, you missed the mark on this for me. You missed the movies that I feel invented gunfighting. John woo movies!!! Chow yum fat dual wielding berettas while doves fly out and diving shooting. To me those movies are the epic ones for the beretta
Any 92 list without "The Killer", "Hard Boiled" and "The Replacement Killers" is invalid. At least "A Better Tomorrow" got a mention. All 3 above are better. All John Woo/Chow Yun Fat. Minus the Beretta thing, "The Killer" is one of the best action movies ever IMO.
I love my Beretta...96! Plus I got it for a song!! When 92/96s were still going for 700 hundred plus!! Upgraded it with VZ grips and a Wolf spring kit and it's perfect!! (It actually fits my hand! It didn't when I carried it on duty...) Good stuff!! Good call on Ronin! But you missed The Replacement Killers!! That opening scene beats The Proffessional hands down! Granted, I'm not saying the movie is top 5 based off of screen presence but...that opening club scene and the marked shell? C'mon!
Lethal Weapon’s sound for the 92’s sound firing and Dirty Harry’s Smith and Wesson’s 29 sound are probably my favorite sound being fired. Well… Maybe the Pulse Rifle….
Love hate relationship with the 92. My original 92S Italy, love it, simple but the feel and accuracy is phenomenal. 92X usa hate it, very poor accuracy, maybe I purchased a lemon, Beretta USA no warranty help. Beretta 92X Performance Italy, what an awesome handgun. To me the double/single action accuracy surpasses the CZ Shadow 2 and I love my S2.
While it's true the 92FS runs well on movie blanks, let's take a minute to appreciate also, that the muzzle flash you see in these movies are from an era BEFORE fake shitty computer generated flashes. What the camera captured outta the front of the gun is what the camera captured in real life. That muzzle flash from McClain's 92 under to table? Real. All the John Woo Hard Boiled and Better Tomorrow close range blank gun work? Real. All that took skill, man. Today, far too many directors and 1st AD's are gun shy about using "the good stuff", half and full loads and are super quick to substitute shitty solid plug loads that have no recoil and they figure "we'll just add it in post". There's a reason why the majority of today's on screen gunfights look like shit.
The first time for me was seeing Riggs almost commit suicide via the 92 in LW-1. That scene is.... tough. I'm 50 and I still tear up (as a current LEO), whereas at 12 I was in shock. But it's certainly a first close up of the 92 in the movie.
"Boudreaux, Boudreaux, Boudreaux. I've been looking all over for you. " "You've been looking in the wrong places." "That's good, 'cause I know you wouldn't want to hurt my feelings."
I would like to bring up the most accurate depiction of the 92FS. The movie Colors. Also a very realistic portrayal of police work. Robert Duvall as Hodges carries one. His younger partner McGavin carries a 6" S&W .38 spec. A common weapon for LAPD officers of thst era. He would have been a 5 year vetetan to become assigned to CRASH. Which places his hira date prior to the adoption of the 92FS by LAPD. Which was 1985. They were monitoring the US military trials. Sig P226 was not made in the numbers to supply that department and relied on importer Saco Defense to bring to the US. Beretta was ready to go. CRASH officers were already using the 92 versions with mag release near the trigger gaurd. Some personal 92FS's were also showing up. Two autos were authorized. 92FS and S&W 59. The 59 had issues feeding JHP ammo that weren't rectified until 1989 with the 5906. The Beretta 92 from day one ran good with JHP ammo. Many officers did not trust semi autos and they werent really authorized anyway unless SWAT or another speciality allowed or required it. So McGavin was one of these wheelgun loyalist. He uses a stainless 3" .S&W for off duty and plainclothes work and uses a 2" as a backup gun. While you would think Hodges would be of that opinion what was shown was more accurate. As soon as the 92 was issued department wide it was fine to keep your revolver as your duty weapon and many officers did. But a lot of older officers by that time had enough of the 6rds and slow reload times. Many officers that had on duty shootings opted for the 92FS. Colors doesnt depict much for officer involved shootings. McGavin as well as every other officer opens up on Gerardo "Rico Suave" Meja after he shoots and kills Hodges. They also smoke that hot latina bitch that was next to him when he did it. But that is the extent of the two main characters gunfighting. Lethal Weapon is cool. Its more of a Christmas movie than Die Hard. Opens up with Jingle Bell Rock. Riggs kills more people just escaping the nightclub than Mclane kills the entirety of Die Hard 1. Including that weird perv looking fast draw dude sitting at the bar. He also does a firing from retention point blank range drill while pulling his offhand into his chest so he doesnt shoot it early in the film. But Murtaugh finds Riggs carrying a 92FS to be unique. At that time it had been department issue for 2 years. Thought he clearly is familiar with the weapon he would have seen well over 70% of his co-workers already carrying it. His new partner carrying one wouldnt have been worth mentioning. Colors doesnt explain anything about the depiction of the weapon to the audience. I met a retired LAPD officer who moved back here to Albuquerque where he was from. Very much a gun guy and was there during that time. The depiction of the gangs in the film and their firepower was also accurate. The amount of cocaine purchased to make crack often put early street gangs in contact with arms traffickers that could obtain full auto weapons. The MAC 11 9MM was very common and there were a lot of easy to convert open bolt versions produced and sold before ATF ended that. Sorry for the long post but i thought it might be relevant and as always i loved this video and you're unique movie pics for my favorite gun. First got a 92 when i was 13. Im 46 now and it is what i choose assuming 9mm is appropriate for the job. Ive had really good luck with them. I also maintain the ones ive had over the years and use good magazines. So all of mine have worked.
Chow Yun Fat is the greatest action movie Beretta 92 wielder of all time. Yes, A Better Tomorrow, but Hard Boiled is incredible.
His movies are 🔥
Word!
Uh, no. Just no.
Don´t forget The Killer.
@@doublep1980 you are absolutely correct. The Killer is right up there with the best of them.
I love the Beretta 90 series. Hated it in the military, but love them when they are not ran like a $5 whôre for 20+ years..
😂😂😂😂
Lol
Bad checkmate mags according to the military and ig investigation. Beretta mags ran 100%

You are 100% correct. When they changed out the 92 in live free or die hard, that was a colossal error.
At least they went with the PX4 at some point, but that wasn’t McClain’s gun. He carried a Sig.
They should have had John pick up the 92 instead of the PX4. They owed it to us.
It's because in die hard with a vengeance mcclane loses his beretta on the boat when he gets caught by Simon. But yes by all accounts he should have been given another 92fs instead of the sig 220 in live free or die hard
that always felt like an odd switch to me to go from the 92 to the Sig.
I ADORE my Beretta 92. I'd sleep with it under my pillow...if I slept
Sicario 2 was the movie that made me say "ya know what? I need a beretta 92".
Adios...
It was the compact L model i believe. With no rail. I own one. I think they have since been discontinued.
Exactly
100% agreed dude. Thanks for commenting and watching 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Weird, that was the movie that made me say, “You know what? I need a Daniel Defense M4A1.” And now I have one (see short on my channel).

I think the tetragramaton berettas beat Leon's when it comes to style
@@darkfishy87 Full Auto, with spikey magazines for melee - Superior to Leons.

The Replacement Killers. I remember as a kid when that came out, my dad and I would watch it over and over just because of all of the Berettas and we were huge Beretta fans. Still are to this day!!
Carrie-Anne Moss in the matrix was not wielding a beretta 92-her hands were too small-I believe they went with the 84 Fs cheetah-92’s smaller cousin.
Boondock Saints should've been higher on the list - Matrix barely shows the 92 - Boondock rocks that shit the whole show.
John woo loves his berettas. Damn ner every movie off his has them
I've hear from the old movie gun rental companies that the 92F are the most reliable guns to run blanks with. Probably why John Woo likes using them. Chow Young-Fat mentioned in "The Replacement Killers" he fired so many blank rounds in one day he couldn't eat with chop sticks for a week. 😂

Great one
While I do dig Hard Target, a beter movie in that vain is The Replacement Killers. If you are a 92 fan it is one of the best.
32:58 Blasphemy, my good sir. That title still belongs to post bank robbery shootout in HEAT.
How the hell did I forget about The Professional... Another Jean Reno Beretta 92 awesomeness festival. hell yeah!
You forgot , The Replacement Killers (1998)
Boondocks Saints is freaking classic. Soooo good.
Now. Best 92 is definitely the LTT 92G Elite RDO
John Woo's masterpiece HARD BOILED, not on the list???!!!
Nor "The Killer"- the best of them all. 🤔
Definitely agree with Lethal Weapon and Die Hard - the undisputed kings of Beretta 92 movies!
Uff, no Romeo and Juliet tho? The Beretta’s in that movie are truly iconic.
Ahh yes the Dagger 9mm 😂 those went hard.
Probably out due to technicality but Broken Arrow with its 93R deserved an honorable mention!
I’m saving the 93r for its own video one day. But excellent call
@@1911syndicate I own one of the two Auto-9’s used in the first RoboCop. With the exception of the 93r frame. Mine was mounted on a Taurus frame (because of the frame mounted safety) for display.
“Broken Arrow” has plenty of 92FS action. It’s a John Woo film, after all.
In the movie "La Colombiana" she stabs a guy in the neck with a Beretta slide.

The kick is Jean-Claude Van Damme signature move. It’s practically in all of his action movies. How did you not know that.
Of course I know that lol
Kicking is his standard move… doing the splits is his signature/special move. Lol
If you love 92s, check out the movie The Big Hit with Mark Wahlberg. Lots of dual wielding, out of control, fun. Lou Diamond Phillips and Avery Brooks are just classic in that film!
M9 is still in service. I was still carrying it when I was still in the Air Force circa 2020, and many shooting teams still have them in the arsenal.
Thank you for a really good video showcasing the Beretta 92 in movies it really is one of the iconic guns. Like I said in the short that's why I still have it in my rotation only because I carried a M9
Oh hell yeah! An hour long episode on the Movie Pistol I was obsessed with as a child and teenager? _YES!_
Boom
Let’s all just agree that 80’s and 90’s sturdy men were the real heroes.
Should have included “The Corrupter” with Chow Yun Fat and Mark Wahlberg. That was a classic 92FS movie. Should have came in the top four.
Mmmmm slipped by me
I picked a PX4 as my beretta representative. 92 is generic for how long its been around. If I got a 92, I'd turn it into a Resident Evil kendo shop special.
I bought this when I turned 21 because of Lethal Weapon. Not a bad sidearm, just a little big and chunky.
Just got my Beretta M9A4 this afternoon, perfect timing!
Same, ordered one yesterday and this video gets recommended
Equilibrium? list is incomplete. Swap that out with Sicario or the other lower on the list.
In the first Lethal Weapon there’s a deleted scene where Riggs takes out a school sniper with his Beretta, mag dumps at the window then reloads. BADASS
Frreal Idk why they left it out..

You missed out two of THE MOST ICONIC 92s ever in cinema history. The Samurai Edge M92F used by S.T.A.R.S operatives in Resident Evil and the standard issue full auto 92FS of Grammaton Clerics in Equilibrium.
My favorite movie with the Beretta 92 is with Chow Yun-fat in The Replacement Killers
Not a bad list, but you did leave off one of the great Ber 92 films: “Equilibrium” w/ Christian Bale and Sean Bean.
the 92 is also featured heavily in Resident Evil. also appears in the Resident Evil Movies.

Yeah Jake and crispy crush these kind of videos
What about the comp Beretta the Yakuza in Predators? It's pretty sweet.
More videos like this please!! Different best rifles, police cars, etc. The lists go on and on
Even tho it was an 84. Charles bronson put in work with one in Death Wish. I always gotta call out the death wish series when i can 🫡rip mr. Bronson
I'll admit the two pieces of cinema I think of when I see a Beretta is Die Hard...and Black Lagoon.
I get why he didn’t mention black lagoon in this bc it isn’t rlly a movie but come on it’s literally shown off so many damn times throughout the series
Before I watch , Lethal Weapon better be at or very near the top , lest a credibility hit be unavoidable.

There's the Beretta 92F and then there's the Beretta on steroids from the original Robocop movie the Auto 9.

Love hate relationship with the 92. My original 92S Italy, love it, simple but the feel and accuracy is phenomenal. 92X usa hate it, very poor accuracy, maybe I purchased a lemon, Beretta USA no warranty help. Beretta 92X Performance Italy, what an awesome handgun. To me the double/single action accuracy surpasses the CZ Shadow 2 and I love my S2.
Langdon Tactical took my love for the 92 to a new level. Love the 92 and love 1911 Syndicate, so win win.
Cheers mate
While it's true the 92FS runs well on movie blanks, let's take a minute to appreciate also, that the muzzle flash you see in these movies are from an era BEFORE fake shitty computer generated flashes. What the camera captured outta the front of the gun is what the camera captured in real life. That muzzle flash from McClain's 92 under to table? Real. All the John Woo Hard Boiled and Better Tomorrow close range blank gun work? Real. All that took skill, man.
Today, far too many directors and 1st AD's are gun shy about using "the good stuff", half and full loads and are super quick to substitute shitty solid plug loads that have no recoil and they figure "we'll just add it in post". There's a reason why the majority of today's on screen gunfights look like shit.
The first time for me was seeing Riggs almost commit suicide via the 92 in LW-1. That scene is.... tough. I'm 50 and I still tear up (as a current LEO), whereas at 12 I was in shock. But it's certainly a first close up of the 92 in the movie.
"Boudreaux, Boudreaux, Boudreaux. I've been looking all over for you. "
"You've been looking in the wrong places."
"That's good, 'cause I know you wouldn't want to hurt my feelings."
I would like to bring up the most accurate depiction of the 92FS. The movie Colors. Also a very realistic portrayal of police work. Robert Duvall as Hodges carries one. His younger partner McGavin carries a 6" S&W .38 spec. A common weapon for LAPD officers of thst era. He would have been a 5 year vetetan to become assigned to CRASH. Which places his hira date prior to the adoption of the 92FS by LAPD. Which was 1985. They were monitoring the US military trials. Sig P226 was not made in the numbers to supply that department and relied on importer Saco Defense to bring to the US. Beretta was ready to go. CRASH officers were already using the 92 versions with mag release near the trigger gaurd. Some personal 92FS's were also showing up. Two autos were authorized. 92FS and S&W 59. The 59 had issues feeding JHP ammo that weren't rectified until 1989 with the 5906. The Beretta 92 from day one ran good with JHP ammo. Many officers did not trust semi autos and they werent really authorized anyway unless SWAT or another speciality allowed or required it. So McGavin was one of these wheelgun loyalist. He uses a stainless 3" .S&W for off duty and plainclothes work and uses a 2" as a backup gun. While you would think Hodges would be of that opinion what was shown was more accurate. As soon as the 92 was issued department wide it was fine to keep your revolver as your duty weapon and many officers did. But a lot of older officers by that time had enough of the 6rds and slow reload times. Many officers that had on duty shootings opted for the 92FS. Colors doesnt depict much for officer involved shootings. McGavin as well as every other officer opens up on Gerardo "Rico Suave" Meja after he shoots and kills Hodges. They also smoke that hot latina bitch that was next to him when he did it. But that is the extent of the two main characters gunfighting. Lethal Weapon is cool. Its more of a Christmas movie than Die Hard. Opens up with Jingle Bell Rock. Riggs kills more people just escaping the nightclub than Mclane kills the entirety of Die Hard 1. Including that weird perv looking fast draw dude sitting at the bar. He also does a firing from retention point blank range drill while pulling his offhand into his chest so he doesnt shoot it early in the film. But Murtaugh finds Riggs carrying a 92FS to be unique. At that time it had been department issue for 2 years. Thought he clearly is familiar with the weapon he would have seen well over 70% of his co-workers already carrying it. His new partner carrying one wouldnt have been worth mentioning. Colors doesnt explain anything about the depiction of the weapon to the audience. I met a retired LAPD officer who moved back here to Albuquerque where he was from. Very much a gun guy and was there during that time. The depiction of the gangs in the film and their firepower was also accurate. The amount of cocaine purchased to make crack often put early street gangs in contact with arms traffickers that could obtain full auto weapons. The MAC 11 9MM was very common and there were a lot of easy to convert open bolt versions produced and sold before ATF ended that. Sorry for the long post but i thought it might be relevant and as always i loved this video and you're unique movie pics for my favorite gun. First got a 92 when i was 13. Im 46 now and it is what i choose assuming 9mm is appropriate for the job. Ive had really good luck with them. I also maintain the ones ive had over the years and use good magazines. So all of mine have worked.
