Six Days: new film about Iranian Embassy Siege

[WillBrink]

Right number of days but WRONG CRISIS, wrong country, wrong embassy.

Iranian seized US Embassy in Tehran. Jimmy Carter sent Delta Force to rescue but aborted at Desert One.

Iranian seized Iranians seized Iranian embassy in London. SAS freed hostages and killed the hostage takers. Siege lasted 6 days, therefore the name of the movie.

So wish that had gone a different direction, and some felt the mission could continue, but fate is a mother f-er some times. Good lessons were learned at least, and Beckwith actually spoke well of Carter regarding that event. Anyway, when the SAS come a knockin' chit heads tend to die badly. Will put movie on list.

I demand they put this in the movie but with more bass and possibly a remix by RZA

Well--that did it. I'm shutting this sucker down and headed to the range with my BHP. Now.

AND I am still in love with Rosalind Lloyd. http://cineplex.media.baselineresear...99338_full.jpg

Seeing the embassy siege on the news on TV when I was a kid is what got me into the whole SAS/MP5 thing. Here's a pic I took at the Operation Nimrod display at the Imperial War Museum in London.

Everyone here will want to check out the 2004 documentary, "The SAS In Action." Probably the most comprehensive and accurate overview of Nimrod with some amazingly detailed original footage. Several other operations and campaigns covered as well.

It can be found on Amazon and Netflix.

This.

I hope they reproduce every last bit of black kit. The Avon mask, the weird laser-light thing on the MP5s, the Hi Powers(Sigs didnt come til later), and everything.

When the British put their minds to it; their shows and movies are awesome.

Like Strike Back, The Avengers, The Professionals, etc.

And old school hardcore SAS where their dudes looked like Lemmy Kilmister(Peace Be Upon Him), just lifted, smoked, drank, played soccer, and wenched nobby harlots until it was time to murder people in the dark with high speed gear. Then saunter back to the smoke filled Team House in Hereford for Fish and Chips

I haven't been to the movies in a while but will make an effort to see this.

PS - some pics in this thread from Pro. I removed my statement about flashlights that was incorrect. The link below alludes to flashlights as well...

PS - Those were flashlights rigged to scope mounts, not lasers! There are some pics in this thread from Pro:
