Déjà Vu is a 1988 Soviet-Polish criminal comedy directed by Juliusz Machulski. The plot takes place in 1925. One of Chicago mobsters Mick Nitsch (who is Russian-born Mikita Nechyporuk) (Vladimir Golovin) flees to Soviet Russia to escape the revenge of other mobsters. Mob leaders send their best hitman Johnny Pollack (Jerzy Stuhr) to the city of Odessa.

The following weapons are seen in the movie Déjà Vu:


Handguns

Submachine guns

PPSh-41 (modified to resemble M1921 Thompson)

Police and mobsters in the Chicago shootout scene wield submachine guns that resemble M1921A Thompsons. Actually, they are modified PPSh-41 submachine guns, with removed barrel shrouds, custom stocks and characteristic Thompson foregrips. This is noticeable in the shot of Nitsch holding his "Thompson" - look at the rear of the receiver, stock, the distance between trigger guard and magazine.
