Overdose 2 (El pico 2) is a 1984 Spanish drama movie directed by Eloy de la Iglesia, a sequel to El pico (1983). After the events of the first film, young heroin addict Paco relocates from Bilbao to Madrid together with his father, a high ranking officer of the Guardia Civil. Paco is trying to treat his addiction, but after his involvement in a murder in Bilbao comes to light, he is arrested. In prison, Paco returns to drug use. His father, using illegal methods, seeks the release of his son, but upon his release from prison, Paco joins a gang who commit robberies to fund their habits.
The following weapons were used in the film Overdose 2 (El pico 2):
Revolvers
Llama Comanche
In the jewelry store robbery scene, committed by Paco and his friends, a store manager (Paco Racionero) fires a Llama Comanche after the getaway car. This is the version with a 4" barrel and duty sights. Judging by the gap between the front side of the cylinder and the frame, it is chambered in .38 Special rather than .357 Magnum, so the revolver may be Llama Martial, but the shape of the front sight is more common for the Comanche.
Llama Comanche with 4" barrel and adjustable sights - .357 Magnum
The store manager fires after the robbers' car.
A very good view of the revolver. Note the large gap between the cylinder and the frame.
Snub Nose Revolver
When the gang leader "El Lehendakari" (Basque for "The President", commonly in reference to the leader of some group or organization) (Jaume Valls) demonstrates his guns to Paco and Betty, a snub nose revolver is seen. It is a six-shot Smith & Wesson style gun. Among Spanish produced revolvers, the Ruby Extra or Llama Scorpio have a similar appearance.
For reference: Ruby Extra with 2.5" barrel - .38 Special
El Lehendakari puts the revolver on the table.
The revolver lies on the table.
Unknown Revolver
During the robbery of the bank van, a revolver is seen in a security guard's holster. This is a large frame revolver, with what appears to be a 4" barrel. A number of Llama and Astra revolvers have a similar appearance.

Guardia Civil patrolmen stop the van.

Pistols
Llama I

Unknown Pistols
A pistol is partially seen in the holster of a Guardia Civil patrolman.

Betty unfastens the holster from the belt of the patrolman.
In the climactic scene, the pistol in the hands of Torrecuadrada (Fernando Guillén) switches from a compact Star Model S to a different, full-size pistol due to a continuity error. This gun is possibly a reused Star Model A Super or another large-frame Star pistol.
A grievously wounded Torrecuadrada holds the gun. It is larger and looks somewhat different from the previously seen Star Model S.
Submachine Guns
Star Z-62/Z-70
The prison guards and Guardia Civil personnel are armed with Star Z-62 or Star Z-70 submachine guns (or maybe a mix of both models).
Star Z-62 - 9x23mm (9mm Largo)
Star Z-70 - 9x19mm (9mm Largo)

A submachine gun at the right seems to be a Z-70 as the magazine release lever can be seen below the trigger guard (the Z-62 lacks this feature).
Lt. Alcántara (Pedro Nieva Parola) takes the submachine gun from a Sergeant and fires at the door lock.
