I wonder whether this is why not many people have seen this drama, or commented on it... i saw it last night.. i love MM, And IG and the psychologiacl torment has stayed with me....incredibly powerful drama...loved it...should be seen by more
shareThank you so much for the info on the title this is the only movie I have yet to order. Since I've seen P&P, I just cannot get enough of Matthew. He is the greatest. I have never in my life been so taken by someone. He simply is perfection.
shareI understand what you mean by your adoration of Macfadyen, but is that really all you could post after seeing such a movie?
sharei cannot agree with you more...i have purchased every movie he has ever made and have watched P&P over 57 times on my TIVO...my husband thinks im crazy...but he has "bewitched" me...I am obsessed...You are so right..he is simply "perfection."
shareI forgot to ask where are you from and what channel did you watch it on.
BBC America or an American station.
i thought it was known as peace*keepers* in the US?
But I am alive. And I am not afraid.
I am sure you are right.... i only read that it wqs called peacekeepers in uk newspaper.... I live in Uk.......Watched on recommendation of friend.I usually avoid psychological terror/suffering.... but this was spell binding.... I feel it deserves to be watched by a lot of people.............so trying to spread the word........
shareIt's called warriors because that is the name of an armoured truck the British soldiers used with a gun mounted on the front. I'm not sure American viewers would have understood the reference.
"You know, sometimes being brainwashed is good. Clean your mind of all the bad stuff"
That's right, the Warrior is basically a turreted APC - but there are repeated references to the Warrior vehicles so I figure it's there for overseas audiences to pick up.
Mind you, the title of this film is not JUST about the vehicles - it's ironic, since we're following the story of a lot of soldiers - professional warriors - who are in a position where they're not allowed to do what they've been trained for, and have to sit back and watch events.
Similarly, I'm pretty sure the call signs of the two principal Warriors are intended to be ironic - that is, 'Romeo' and 'Juliet', since that's also a reference to a story of two warring factions.
"Similarly, I'm pretty sure the call signs of the two principal Warriors are intended to be ironic - that is, 'Romeo' and 'Juliet', since that's also a reference to a story of two warring factions."
Lt Col Bob Stewart, the commander of the first British detachment into Bosnia, The Cheshire Regiment, named his Warrior AFV (armoured fighting vehicle) "Juliette". It was the commanders prerogative to "name" his vehicle. I think Stewart's wife was called Juliette. None of the other Warriors in the Cheshire battalion had names. But the film-makers obviously thought it fun to pick up on the reference, and name the other vehicle Romeo. Which is the standard British phonetic alphabet term for the letter "R", so entirely plausible, since Juliet is the phonetic alphabet term for "J".
It may help US viewers to note that the FV510 Warrior IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle), that the film is named after and that we Brits use, is pretty much equivalent of the M2/M3 Bradley used by US Army.
shareIt was renamed because the action movie "The Warriors" is a very popular movie in the US of A and they wanted to avoid confusion, I think.

That seems very likely - it's difficult to look this film up on IMDB without going through the Michael Beck film first...
