Smith and Wesson

Smith and Wesson are the secondary antagonists of the 1997 Disney comedy film Flubber. They are security guards working for the millionaire Chester Hoenicker, who planned to close down Medfield College due to shortage on loan payments.

They were portrayed by Clancy Brown and Ted Levine.

Role
When Hoenicker sends his son Bennett to Medfield College, he had Smith and Wesson to demand Bennett's chemistry teacher Professor Phillip Brainard in giving a passing grade. However, Brainard isn't moved by this as he is busy creating a new energy to save the college from being shut down by Hoenicker.

When Bennett was put on academic probation for failing Brainard's class, Hoenicker decides to settle scores by sending both Smith and Wesson in an attempt to coerce Brainard in giving Bennett a passing grade. However, Brainard has created a new energy source known as Flubber, a living green goo that increases in speed as it bounces and flies. This was shown when Brainard applied samples of crystallized Flubber into a hand cream, which he uses to send a golf ball and bowling ball bouncing off into the sky endlessly, accidentally hitting Smith and Wesson twice. Upon returning back to Hoenicker's mansion, Smith and Wesson explain their discoveries, though Hoenicker doesn't believe them as he thinks they've gone drinking, even after they revealed the head injuries they received from the bouncing balls.

During the basketball game between the Medfield Squirrels and Rutland Rangers, Smith and Wesson witnessed the Medfield players being beaten down by the more skilled Rutland players during the first half of the game. However, in the second half, the Medfield players turned the tables (thanks to Brainard applying Flubber-coated tacks on their shoes and the same hand cream on their hands to improve their abilities), allowing them to win the game. Upon witnessing this, Hoenicker realized that Smith and Wesson were right, to which they confirm their suspicions about the new energy source that Brainard created. Hoenicker even witnessed Brainard riding home on his flying car, deducing that it was the same energy source that could've caused it to happen.

As such, Smith and Wesson decided to aid Hoenicker in his new plot in to steal the Flubber and transform the energy industry for profit. To that end, they broke into Brainard's house and steal the Flubber after destroying Brainard's robot assistant Weebo when she tried to stop them. Upon returning home with Medfield College President Sara Reynolds, Brainard is horrified to see that the Flubber is stolen and that Weebo is destroyed. Deciding to settle scores with Hoenicker and his men, Brainard cooks up a plan with Sara in confronting Hoenicker under false pretenses of forming a deal to sell the Flubber, eventually learning that Wilson Croft himself is allied with Hoenicker as he too intends to profit out from it. However, applied with Flubber-coated tacks on their shoes and the same hand-cream, Brainard and Sara defeat the two guards, with Sara using her shoes to smack out Smith in the face and Brainard punching out Wesson in the face.

It is unknown what happened to Smith and Wesson afterwards, though it can be implied that they, along with Hoenicker, Croft and Bennett, are arrested and sent to prison. Brainard would later use his flying car to form a deal with the Ford Motor Company (since it was a vintage Ford Thunderbird), allowing him and Sara to gain enough money to save Midfield College from closure.
