The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (1990)
Andrew Dice Clay as Ford Fairlane
Smith and Wesson Model 38 - .38 caliber

Comedian Andrew Dice Clay played the title character as Ford Fairlane, a private eye whose main clientele worked in the Los Angeles music industry. In the film, this Smith and Wesson pistol was worn on Fairlane's retractable arm holster for a spring assisted 
quick draw - a concept almost as ridiculous as the movie itself.
