Play Dirty is a 1969 World War II film starring Michael Caine as an oil executive working with the British Army and is given the job of leading an irregular unit on a mission behind enemy lines in North Africa. The film is somewhat notable for its unusual ending for a war film.
The following weapons were used in the film Play Dirty:
Handguns
Llama II
Captain Douglas (Michael Caine) has a Llama II as his sidearm. Whether he carries it as his normal sidearm or due to his disguise is unknown. Captain Leech (Nigel Davenport) temporarily takes it away from him during the ambush.
Webley Mk IV
Hassan (Mohsen Ben Abdallah) uses a Webley Mk IV.
Submachine Guns
Star Model Z45
The members of the unit (Michael Caine, Nigel Davenport, Aly Ben Ayed, Enrique Ávila, Takis Emmanuel and Scott Miller) are armed with Spanish Star Model Z45 submachine guns. They are used when they are disguised as Germans soldiers as well as Italian soldiers. This is an anachronism, as these guns weren't produced until 1945. In a continuity error, some of them turn into MP40's towards the end of the film.
