Play Dirty Michael Caine and Nigel Davenport , directed by André de Toth, whose previous film credits mainly included crime films and westerns. This is appropriate, and this film is a little of both, featuring a former petroleum engineer (Caine) leading a rag-tag band of murderers, terrorists and rapists sent behind enemy lines in North Africa to blow up a German fuel depot. The movie was partially filmed in the Spanish province of Almería, which explains some of the weapons found in the film, as well as why some locations may appear familiar, since parts of Lawrence of Arabia Patton Sergio Leone 's Man with No Name
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.

In a continuity error, some of them turn into MP40 's towards the end of the film.
