Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe guns and rifles are authentic WWII weapons (not replicas) . They were brought into Morocco from a UK based specialist vintage armorer. All were modified to only fire blanks and due to Moroccan law, the producers had to get a permit signed by King Mohammed VI of Morocco to allow the importation of the weapons for this production. Even though the guns could not fire live ammo they were securely l locked away when not in use and placed under direct police supervision.
- GoofsOn several depicted occasions, the soldiers are told to attack only after the moon has set. However, the moon is shown to be a full moon. A full moon is up all night - it rises when the sun sets, and sets when the sun rises. They should have filmed with something other than a full moon.
- Quotes
Canary Barman: You hate this place?
David Stirling: I hate this peace.
- Crazy creditsBased on a true story, the events depicted which seem most unbelievable ... are mostly true.
Featured review
Let's get one things straight, anyone with a decent level of WW2 knowledge will pick up on mistakes. Uniforms, weapons,kit,tanks,trucks and even the traits and likeness of the main characters. The BBC don't see to care much for accuracy anymore with their shows. However watch this as Band of Brothers meets Peaky Blinders and you're onto a winner. The characters are all played brilliantly if historically inaccurately. The way they interact with eachother is also very entertaining and has you rooting for this tag tag group from the off. The music in the backround has you tapping your toes as the SAS drive across the dessert on their way to pick a fight with the Axis forces. The gun fights while over the top are a good watch. Switch off and enjoy it for what it is. It's not a master piece like Band of brothers but let's face it what is...
