 PLOT: Starting within the very first ten minutes of the film, Mike  Strauber has the unique and uncanny ability to generate weapons from  thin air, such as the pistol he grips when contemplating suicide.  Director Tim Ritter explains in the commentary that there were  missing scenes in which Mike Strauber goes to a hardware store to  get "supplies," however most of the weapons Strauber generates  cannot be found at a hardware store.
