Line 36:
== Film ==
* In [[Casablanca]] Rick Blaine was this in his [[Backstory]] in Ethiopia and the Spanish Civil War. Apparently he did it for the cause though [[Not in This For Your Revolution|he was unwilling to admit it]] and certainly had no problem pocketing the pay he got out of it. He was told, "The winning side would have paid much better" and replied ambiguously. Actually of course, the winning side would not have paid at all as they would have been purchasing from reliable arms cartels, not smugglers while Ethiopians at least would have needed unconventional sources being strapped for cash.
* Yuri Orlov, [[Villain Protagonist]] of ''[[Lord of War]]'' as well as a few others shown in the film. Yuri is the nephew of one of the "Former Reds With Rockets For Sale", who helped get him into the arms business. He also has a rival/nemesis in Simeon Weisz, a corporate lobyist version who also has some political motivations (specifically support for America and Israel). Despite falling into some [[Eagle Land]] and "evil Zionist" stereotypes, Simeon ''still'' comes across as better than Yuri.
* An Israeli one features in ''[[Charlie Wilson's War|Charlie Wilsons War]]'', played [[Fake Nationality|by Scot Ken Stott]].
Line 54:
* Chevy Chase and Gregory Hines in ''[[Deal Of The Century]]''.
* There's a slightly unusual gun rurnner in ''[[The Salton Sea]]''.
