I love how the gunshots on the show don't sound extremely fake like in other shows

That and the gun fights in general are pretty good. Too bad it took them until the 4th and final seasons to actually get the cast M4 style rifles that would fit the SAS's weapon choices. I understand M16s, but none of the primary combat rifles they use were accurate to what the SAS were using at the time unless this takes place in the 90s and then moved onto the 00s, which is still stupid. And season 4 to me being the weakest, they somehow managed to get new rifles.

Also about the rifles, it seems the fake M203s they use didn't even seem attached to the rifles, but more like they are strapped on

Maybe it's harder for them to imitate French that to make fun of Americans.

Seriously, when I saw the guy with the cowboy hat, I chuckled a bit.

We have the literal cowboy, the black-hating-all-white-racist, the hardcore leader who was constantly trying to out frown Henno

Seriously, I can understand messing with the Americans by stealing their stuff, but how did Dave snatch the Minimi?


Also there's that one point where Jem stands over one of the American, who is dangling off a cliff. And "SPOILERS"...Did he cut the guy loose to fall on purpose? Seriously?





Funny thing where The Unit had a similar episode where they had to cross the border into Syria as well, except theirs were a rescue mission and the Ultimate Force were to take out a terrorist leader.

I like how in THAT episode where the terrorist leader speaks in plain english to his fellow terrorist, hardly hiding his british accent.

Yeah, seriously.

Also, just like in The Unit, Pete also has a cheating wife who cheats on a superior officer, thought in Ultimate Force, the end is a different and short than what happened in The Unit

Just looked the site up on Wikipedia. Nobody lasts very long on that show, do they?
