Yet another film that could do with one of these threads.

1) If you are under surveillance and you manage to lose the person following you, always assume there's a second person following you.

2) When undercover, never go to visit your family (even briefly)

3) If you hear loud music coming from the house next door all night, chances are there may be a camera sticking through a hole in the wall somewhere.

4) Terrorists are not capable of hearing people making small holes in walls, but police officers are specially trained so they can.

5) The SAS will not move in until someone gets killed.

6) Always check the other carriage.

7) The SAS should carry mini fire extinguishers with them when blasting their way into buildings.

8) Only tourists go to Greenwich - but I thought marathon runners did as well!

9) In a hostage situation, always keep in mind that one of the terrorists could be a good guy working undercover.

10) The SAS use special explosives to blow holes in walls, which cause absolutely no harm to anyone sitting only inches away.

1) A crossbow can shoot an arrow around or straight through a megaphone.

2) U.S. Army Rangers and Air Force band members are allowed to have hair that covers their ears, even when they are in dress uniform.

3) Telling a customs agent you have "quite a lot of money to spend" will not raise any suspicions at all.

4) Independently wealthy terrorists with bad hair are an easy lay.

5) Angelic music should always be heard when you are with your wife and daughter.

6) If a woman sitting in front of you starts spraying perfume on herself, run.

7) Never debate nuclear disarmament with a roomful of politicians, statesmen, and generals, especially if you're a dumb bastard.

8) Terrorists often want to explode a nuclear bomb just to show what it can do, because Hiroshima or Nagasaki weren't enough of an example.

9) Ingrid Pitt really hates crying kids.

10) The SAS does not chew gum.

President Truman did a lot of tossing and turning at night during World War II. See, even President’s masturbate.

The Brits anti-terror units fight better while blaring 70’s style Porn music.

"I'm a vehemently anti-nuclear, paranoid mess, harbouring a strange obsession with radioactive sheep."

13) Tony doesn't know what's happening.
14) Peter is slowing down a little.
15) Harry sure throws a hell of a party.
16) SAS are more efficient with Darth Vader masks on.

Great film though, especially the ending.

14. Peter wanted to take frankie to bed.
15. Peter wanted to try that bed. His knees were killing him.
16. Peter knew more about nuclear devastation than we ever will.
17. Peter was a confident bastard.
18. Sas soldiers don't salute but if u wave at them they'll wave back.

Euan Lloyd was really in love with Margaret Thatcher.

Skinheads go to liberal rallies in churches to hear rock bands with members who wear German military caps.

When attempting to infiltrate a suspected terrorist cell, it's best to use the cover of a disgruntled ex-SAS trooper. No one would ever question that. Oh, wait...

Richard Widmark really wasn't getting very good roles anymore.

Edward Woodward needed a better agent (thank heavens for Breaker Morant!).

Fortunately, Ah keep mah feathers numbered for just such an emergency!

Heavy drapes can prove to be a bigger problem than terrorists when entering a window.

Left Wing Terrorists protesting against nuclear weapons are quite happy to use said nuclear weapons to prove their point. Not even being sarcastic on that one as Lefties do stuff like that.

The SAS has a certain quota allowance for deaths during training and sometimes they are under that quota..

Peacenik terrorists make really bad warriors when their opponents can fight back.

SAS operatives can have a soft spot for the terrorist they are supposed to be shooting even if that same terrorist was behind the plan to threaten wife and kids.
