    An item that John McClane carries at the airport in "Die Hard" makes an appearance in another film. What's the item and what's the other film?

    Question #118422. Asked by Datsmeharse. (Oct 28 10 3:01 PM)

    The Beretta 92F features prominently in the film as the sidearm of Detective John McClane (Bruce Willis).

    Also known as the M9 in U.S. military service (however, there are few - if any- actual "M9s" seen in movies and TV shows; property masters and armorers always use the civilian 92FS, even when the pistols are seen in the hands of actors playing U.S. military personnel). Four out of five branches of the military issue the Beretta M9; all five did until 2006 when the USCG adopted the SIG-Sauer P229.

    Keep in mind that the Brazilian Taurus PT92 and PT99 are also used to stand-in for the Beretta 92F in some movies and TV shows, when the Beretta is not available. For a description of the visual differences between the Beretta and the Taurus, visit the Taurus PT92 page.

    Pretty heft list of these guns in movies, including Will Smith in "I Am Legend" and Tom Skerritt in "Desperation."

    McClane carries that gun throughout the movie, the item I'm speaking of you see him carrying only at the airport...and no, it's not luggage...I'm fairly sure luggage has made an appearance in other films, Joe Vs. the Volcano comes to mind....really, this answer is child's play!

    John McClane carries a stuffed teddy bear for his daughter in "Die Hard"

    Jake Ryan takes a teddy bear home with him at the end of "The Hunt for Red October.

    It's the same bear... apparently somewhat of a trademark of director, John McTiernan.
