The Jackpot! (original title La Totale!) is a 1991 French action comedy movie directed by Claude Zidi. François Voisin (Thierry Lhermitte) is a super agent of a secret service but his family is convinced that he is a humble employee in telecommunication company. Suddenly François finds out that his wife Hélène (Miou-Miou), bored with monotonous life, meets a mysterious man who poses himself as a secret agent...
In 1994 the film was remade as True Lies. The remake is a much more known movie than the original one.
The following weapons were used in the film The Jackpot! (La Totale!):
A snub nose revolver is seen in hands of Hélène Voisin (Miou-Miou) in the final scene. It isn't seen very clear but looks most likely a Smith & Wesson Model 36.
A pistol with typical Beretta features is seen among other firearms in the van used as a base of operations by François Voisin and Albert Grelleau. It can be some version of Beretta 92 or Beretta 81/84/85.
One of the Mini Uzis, seen in the film, is fitted with a fixed plastic buttstock. It is seen in hands of Sarkis (Jean Benguigui), than taken from him by François Voisin (Thierry Lhermitte) and handed to Hélène Voisin (Miou-Miou). While firing, Hélène drops the gun, and it falls down, firing widely and scoring several hits. This scene was repeated in True Lies, using a MAC-10. The plastic stock is supposed to be a cover for a device that makes the submachine gun fire while falling down.
