Dry Season (French Daratt; another French title is Saison sèche) is 2006 cooperate Chadian-French-Belgian-Austrian movie.

The following weapons were used in the film Dry Season:

WARNING! Major spoiler

Pistols

Inglis Hi-Power

Gumar Abatcha (Khayar Oumar Defallah) presents an old Inglis Hi-Power to Atim (Ali Barkai), who uses it throughout the movie. The screen gun lacks a humped rear sight and has a hammer spur, not a ring hammer, so it is most likely that a Belgian slide from a Browning Hi-Power is used on an Inglis frame. At one point, a similar looking pistol can be seen in Nassara's armory, which is the same prop.

Inglis Hi-Power - 9x19mm

Browning Hi-Power "Type 73" - 9x19mm. These Hi-Powers feature elongated bushings different from Hi-Powers Made before 1973 and after the MK II Series.
