(SOLVED) sci-fi movie from the 1980s or early 1990s where a teenage boy uses some sort of laser gun


There’s a teenage boy who lives in a trailer. A group of bullies picking on him turn him upside down and he bites the ankle of one of them. A man living in the trailer with the boy who I assumed to be either his dad or stepdad goes into his room and starts smashing everything with a baseball bat. The boy then somehow gets this laser gun and uses it to kill the man. The boy then goes and uses it in front of the bullies in order to intimidate them.

Could be "Laserblast", but it is from 1978.

I looked up Laserblast and it's not it. It doesn't have any of the scenes I described.

So maybe "Deadly Weapon" (1989) ?

"A teenage boy who's bullied both at school by the seniors and at his home by his abusive father finds an experimental laser weapon in a river and ponders revenge. The army general who lost the gun sends his units after the kid."

I looked at this movie and it's clearly correct. Thank you very much.
