The Iron Triangle rushes on Google video.


I haven't seen this film but I think someone has uploaded the rushes (unedited video footage) for the film onto google video. I think this because at one point you see a clapper board with Director Weston written on it. So I googled Weston and Vietnam War and it came up with this film. I then watched the trailor of this film and some of parts of it looked very similar to the rushes.

Can someone who has seen the film please confirm this?

Thanks.

That's at 23min19sec and 24min25sec in the second link. It reads The Professionals 2 (? or 2nd unit) David Wickes and Alec Mills BSC.

Maybe it's 2nd unit shots or material they shot in preparation for the film. It's a long time ago I saw The Iron Triangle, but I was in it as an extra, and only one helicopter was used (one was filmed - obviously they had to use another helicopter to film the one in the picture). I don't recognize any of the people in it, and I don't think it was shot in Sri Lanka. I'm pretty sure that huge airplane wasn't in the film and wasn't in Sri Lanka. A Singhalese army (from Sri Lanka) helicopter was used.

They may delete it now, but if you use the search engine on the YouTube channel and type "the iron triangle movie" you can enjoy this gem of a straight-to-video film!
