    The bombing raid on Tripoli killed Ghadaffi's daughter, but it was launched from RAF Brize Norton, do Ghadaffi's decided to get his revenge on the British by supplying container loads of weapoms ammo and more importantly, Semtex, to to the IRA. It was a game changer for the troubles, and really shows how much of the Irish thing was a proxy war.

      Ah, I actually missed the first few minutes of this, where it's mostly explained. Ghadaffi's daughter was the real fuse for him though.

      It wasn’t RAF Brize Norton that the F-111s took off from, it was RAF (USAF) Lakenheath and Upper Heyford, RAF Brize Norton is the main air transport hub of the British 🇬🇧 military, and whilst the USAF bases in the United Kingdom are named RAF that is because they are only leased to the USA as part of the price we paid for United States material support in WWII.

    Gaddafi was lucky that time around. He had just moved the night before. The bombing did kill his daughter, however. My military intelligence group was told it was mechanical failure on the jet (F-111) that went down. What that event did was make Gaddafi afraid of Ronald Reagan. The military intelligence group would go to him after that from time to time for some info concerning that area, and he would always want to help. Ha!

      Actually they did import some weapons from Libya. At no point was the Provisional IRA or any of the splinter groups well armed. They had rifles, pistols and a few grenades along with plastic explosives. No mortars, no missiles, no light or heavy machine guns. The average paramilitary group in Latin America or Africa was better armed. The neo-Communist radicalism of the Socialists in the Provos isolated them from the really hard people in the south of Ireland and the USA. They finally got some minimal reforms in the late 1990's, but Bill Clinton betrayed them like he has done to everybody else. The North is still not a democratic republic and Ireland is no closer to being united. Though the political strength of Sein Fein has improved.

    Good and fairly believable plot and Alan Howard always the good-looking, suave and ruthless intelligence officer, a role he plays especially well -- most notably in 'A Perfect Spy'. There are five more episodes in the series. Next is 'Just Another Secret'.
    That pick-up at the restaurant is utterly and entirely pathetic. Like the worst of the worst of American TV films. Even though she's part of the plot, it could have been better done.
    'Automobile accident' is American English, as is 'apartment'.

    There's no comparison between this tacky movie and the original story, as good and as enthralling as it was!
    Unfortunately, most novels by Frederick Forsyth deplorably have met the same fate, in the hands of inept and talentless writers and producers with an agenda, who have somehow convinced themselves that they are sufficiently qualified, armed, as it were, with their marginal and stunted ideas about doing justice to a highly polished and excellent novel, as they have with many others!

    • @castelodeossos3947
      @castelodeossos3947 Рік тому +5

      Considering that Mr Forsyth was himself involved both in the writing and production, don't know whether I'd speak of ineptitude and lack of talent. There are also a number of fine lines. Tacky it is, of course, having been made for London Weekend Television, without the resources of the Beeb.
      Perhaps worth mentioning that 'Day of the Jackal' was made into a masterly film, no?

    dated, clichéd, and pathetic, skim through it quickly to confirm suspicions of an old spy/thriller where big brother knows best and is entitled to kill people. To salve consciences, use the cowboy western technique, instead of white hats and black hats, the baddies kill people out of hand and unnecessarily, and the good guys kill people accidently. 2 out of 10, but would probably been an average film back in the day.

      The guy playing the starring role is moody and downcast and THATS EXACTLY WHATS NEEDED FOR HIS REALISTIC ROLL IN THIS FILM. SERIOUS MOST OF THE TIME. PERFECT CASTING, THOUGHT HE DID AN AMAZING JOB

    The adds have ruined the film, more adds than film so no subscription and no like

    God - the acting ! An American actress came in: she was good, but not enough to make me stay. What rubbish !

    Wasn't Alan Howard the very worst actor?

    Probably the worst original sound track ever used in a movie. Even for mice, this really was too cheesy !

    Pathetic acting, comical casting of characters. You'd think it was a low-budget Pink Panther movie that they couldn't afford to hire comedy writers for.
