Half a Chance
Half a Chance (French: Une chance sur deux) is a French 1998 action comedy movie starring Jean-Paul Belmondo, Alain Delon and Vanessa Paradis.
The basic plot is about Alice Tomaso (Paradis), a young car thief, who is in search of her father. As she finds out that both car dealer and former mercenary Léo Brassac (Belmondo) and businessman and former master thief Julien Vignal (Delon) are possibly responsible, she accidentally runs into the business of Russian mafia boss Anatoli Sharkov , who just plans to expand his drug deals.
The following weapons were used in the film Half a Chance:
Makarov PM
The Makarov PM pistol is used by the Trenchcoat Assassin (Aleksandr Yakovlev), when he shoots one of Sharkov's henchmen.
Beretta 92
A silver Beretta 92 (or a derivative) is the weapon of choice of Julien (Alain Delon). In the climax of the movie, Julien also fires it Akimbo-style
Beretta 93R
Léo (Jean-Paul Belmondo) instead uses a Beretta 93R throughout the movie.
Mauser C96
A richly decorated Mauser C96 automatic pistol is found in Léo's arsenal and picked up by himself.
Unidentified Pistol
The Trenchcoat Killer uses an Unidentified Pistol (any Walther Model, perhaps?) when he runs into the trap of Léo, Julien and Alice.
Unidentified Revolver #1
When Léo and Julien find the guard of Léo's garage shot, an Unidentified Revolver #1 lies next to him
Unidentified Revolver #2
Alice (Vanessa Paradis) receives "training" from Léo with an Unidentified Revolver #2.
Manurhin MR-73 Gendarmerie
Police investigator Carella (Eric Defosse) has a Manurhin MR-73 Gendarmerie as a sidearm, but is accidentally wounded by it when Alice fires it at him, having found the revolver when he took a shower and being unaware of his mission.
H&K MP5
A undeterminable variant of the H&K MP5 is used by the Motorcycle Assassins in the beginning of the movie.
Mini Uzi
Besides the MP5, the Motorcycle Assassins also use at least one Mini Uzi during the attack on the deal between Sharkov and Colombian drug dealer Angel Vargas (Luis Jaime-Cortez).
Thompson M1928
A Thompson M1928 submachine gun with a drum magazine is picked up by Julien in Léo's weapon chamber.
Sa. Vz.61 Skorpion
A Czech Sa. Vz.61 Skorpion SMG is used by Anatoli Sharkov (Valeri Gatayev) throughout the movie, first appearing in the garage assassination and later during the final gunfight, where he fires it pointlessly at the helicopter.
AK-74 variants
Several variants of the AK-74 assault rifle can be seen throughout the movie, but onfortunately we never get a clear shot of the whole weapon. However, it appears that no full-stock weapons have been used, reducing the possibilites to the AKS-74 series. A further shot shows the short barrel and the distinctive muzzle of the AKS-74U carbine version.
SIG SG 544
The henchmen of Sharkov use several SIG SG 544 carbines with folding stocks during the final shootout.
SIG SG 540
Beside the more prominent SG 544, few shots before also a long-barreled SIG SG 540 assault rifle can be seen. It should be noted that this weapon also has a folding stock.
FN Minimi Para
A FN Minimi Para SAW is used in the final shootout, distinguishable by its short barrel. Oddly enough, the top handle disappears between two shots.
M72 LAW
In order to stop the dynamite-laden bulldozer driven by Léo, the Trenchcoat Killer orders M72 LAWs to be fired against it.
Unidentified Sniper Rifle
When Alice frantically drives back to Léo's hideout, the Russian henchmen fire at her with an Unidentified Sniper Rifle. Oddly, the weapon is shown to fire fully automatic.
Léo's Arsenal
When they decide to face up with the Russians, Léo shows Julien into his arsenal. Many weapons can be seen here, including a Walther WA 2000 sniper rifle, several AK-47 variants, a FN MAG machine gun, a Stielhandgrante hand grenade and even a PIAT anti-tank launcher.
Hand Grenades
When the Russians attack his hideout, Léo opens a crate of hand grenades and throws them at the Russians.
