For those who haven't seen it, 80s movie, loosely based on the embassy hostage situation. Good SAS action flick, with much MP5 goodness.

Love that movie. Edward Woodward (RIP)also in it. Good stuff. Also, does anyone know who makes the sabrelight forearm mount used in the movie during the thru-wall, det-cord hostage rescue scene with BHP goodness?

Great movie for the 80's. The assault makes the whole movie worth watching.

Cool, added to my watch list.

I met Edward Woodward (the equalizer) a few times in the late 1980s when he used to come into where i worked, a garden centre.

Indeed. The initial part of the assault was performed by actual SAS members.

Been so long, I forgot that the terrorists were radical commies, and not muzzies.

They weren't Muslims

That film was called Who Dares Wins in the UK

I have that on dvd.
as posted above the assault at the end is worth the watch.
The movie kind of drags in the middle.

Lewis Collins actually trained with the SAS.

The woohoo was for sweet sweet MP5 action. A dead shit-head is a dead shit-head regardless of their ideology.

I'm always looking for more movies with good MP5 scenes, and there's no shortage of them. But MP5SDs in movies are harder to come by unless you like Navy Seals.
