Line 168:
* Standard-issue for Agents of ''[[The Matrix]]''. They fire Desert Eagles ''one-handed'', and the 7-round magazine capacity is increased to 12 or 13. Well, at least they don't have [[Bottomless Magazines]], even though there's really no reason (other than [[Unorthodox Reload|stylish reloading]]) such things couldn't be programmed into the titular [[Lotus Eater Machine]].
* Bullet Tooth Tony and his "Desert Eagle ''point five-oh''" in ''Snatch'', of course.
{{quote|''The fact that you have '''Replica''' written down the sides of your guns'', (closeup of the word Replica along the barrel) ''and the fact that I have '''Desert Eagle ''Point Five-Oh'' ''' written down the side of mine'', (close up of Desert Eagle along the barrel) ''should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence. Now... [[Sophisticated As Hell|fuck off]].''}}
* In [[Frank Miller|Frank Goddamn Miller's]] film version of [[In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It|Will Eisner's]] ''[[The Spirit]]'', [[Samuel L. Jackson|The Octopus]] not only goes [[Guns Akimbo]] with the Desert Eagle, but he later wields a ''[[Rule of Cool|double-barreled]]'' version of it.
* In ''[[The Boondock Saints]] II: All Saints Day'', the McManus twins trade in their silenced Beretta 92 pistols for some custom made Desert Eagles. And those silenced Berettas were acquired by trading in the Desert Eagles wielded by two Russian mob dudes who tried to murder them near the beginning of the original movie.
Line 606:
* Used by the traitors in ''[[XXX]]: State of the Union''; in fact, these are modified G36K rifles.
* Carried by Homeland Security officers in ''[[Children of Men]]''; the prop was an airsoft gun for some reason fitted with the non-export sight of a G36.
* The first episode of ''[[Mortal Kombat: Legacy]]'' had this weapon in the hands of Black Dragon thugs. Possibly because of its unique appearance, the XM8 was depicted as a directed-energy weapon.
=== [[Video Games]] ===
Line 636:
* "No frills" shotgun-like, usually with internal hammers. As such, resemble modern break action shotguns.
* Long pistols, distinctly built for quick-drawing and ''not'' looking like sawed-off shotguns:
** Lancaster Howdah Pistols
** Westley Richards (.410) Over & Under Pistol. Another solid-yet-slick piece quite similar in all but minor details, yet in a more revolver-like style, does not look as streamlined or as blocky.
