Assassin gun prop from Wanted...

Unfortunately this ornate gun prop has been mislabeled and wasn't used by Angelina Jolie as the assassin 'Fox' in the comic book action movie Wanted
It is in fact one of the guns that belonged to 'Cross', the assassin father of  character 'Wesley Gibson' (played by James McAvoy), that he finds hidden in a weapons vault in his dead father's secret hideout.

In the finale of the movie Angelina Jolie shoots the gun out of James McAvoy's hand.
The gun was photographed on display at Universal Studios Hollywood on July 16, 2009.

  1. Actually, isn't that the gun used by the hero? I'm pretty sure that AJ's character Fox used traditional looking hand guns. I think this gun was the one presented to the Wesley character by Morgan Freeman's character.

  2. Thanks for the info. I've amended the entry accordingly after re-watching the movie.

    You would think an exhibit at Universal Studios would be accurate from their own film, but these days you just can't get the staff....

  3. I'd assume not as it was in the Universal Studios archives, but you may be able to find something similar at PropStore.com
