CI5 The Professionals- Season 2 Episode 1- Opening Scene

[0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

Granted, we're supposed to believe that the Thompson drum used as a pan-magazine is what feeds the gun, but at 1:39, he presses the mag-release for the actual magazine.

I don't really see why .22 sounded like a good caliber either. The only advantage I can think of is higher capacity magazines.

[TAILSESTVITA1955]

great show , the car chases were brill , i still watch the reruns on the telly the teaming of lewis collins and martin shaw was the best,, dont think it would have worked with another 2 actors ... not forgetting cowley ,,, " any more of yer cheek laddie and ill give you a belt round the ear " magic happy times sadly missed today ....

[trierbuffys]

diese serie war ihrer zeit weit voraus !!!!

[sysrq120]

I am not trollin' ,i think this is/was the worst programme i have ever seen,just as bad as Minder...same script every episode,we watch this at home,sometimes just to laugh at the fashion at the the time or the STUPID script

[macmuttley]

@sysrq120 at least there was none of the modern "touch me and I will sue you" crap from the politcally correct pillocks - get stuck right in and get the damn job done.

How this world would be a much better place if CI5 were here for real....complete with a Glasgow Kiss...

[macmuttley]

@sysrq120 how i beg to differ, brilliant show and none of the modern pc nonsense - "oh you touched me, i will sue you"...fists fighting, proper stuff.

If only a programme could be made to combine CI5 and Taggart - pure brilliant. Fists and Glasgow Kisses.

[sysrq120]

@macmuttley A lot of these old cop shows do not hold up to scrutiny,the 'cops',broke the law as much as the crims.I remember when doyle was undercover following his target....in a white suit!lol..too funny.It sholud have been called the UNprofessionals.

[gqsalas72]

LA MEJOR SERI DE LA HISTORIA!

[xwingclass]

the cooliest program on tv. and it was BRITISH. funny ITV had the hard stuff and the BBC had all american.

[chitoryu12]

It looks like he ran out of ammo at 1:33.

[GreveSparf]

I had never heard of this movie before I stumbled upon via IMFDB... Now I feel I've just gotta find a boxed set of these :3

[masterxasdf]

thats not a gun its a pewpew lazar look at it

[sid77777]

just love it when the car goes thru the glass....evergreen show....still very engaging

[adolfhilter]

when i was littile, i used to think the laser rifle in the show was so cool.

[nerdflanders8710]

THE THEME WAS AMAZING

[Activepassive1]

Best British t.v. series ever.

[CreoleCommando]

Great show brings back memories watching it in Trinidad, West Indies.

[rikerdonegal]

Brilliant clip from a brillaint show.

"It's not a toy, Bodie"

"Yes, sir."

LOL

[Elric33239]

Bodie's ex-Paras! Every rifle to him is a toy!

"Looks like it's been rainin'!" LOL

[gillyh2745]

This episode was obviously targeted(please excuse the pun)at the uninitiated to firearms technology.The rifle is infact just an old Armalite AR10(the forerunner of the M16),in 7.62mm calibre.If you look very closely,you'll see a real magazine under the weapon,with the ridiculous false drum magazine on top of the carrying handle!.The laser sight though was typical of this time;a monsterous size that over heated very quick.You can get these only a few inches long these days!

[246DEK74]

who gives a shit

[gillyh2745]

I'll tell you who gives a shit.....people who want to know more about the technical side of things; which obviously you haven't got a clue about!

[oxmys]

I know the mock-up is ridiculous for those of us who know their firearms, but a British TV series would have found it impossible to get hold of a blank-firing AM-180 (I think they were banned from the country even for sales/evaluation use). This weapon looks mean and gets across the general gist (high rate of fire, large magazine, laser sight).

[gillyh2745]

Ah yes the AM180, I know it well. This was one of the very few guns that had a top drum magazine that I know was chambered for .22 LR in one variant. It was only discontinued a few years back. There were not many other top drum magazine guns out in the 70's appart from the 180, Russian DP28, British/U.S, Lewis and Vickers K. I can't think of any more!.

[246DEK74]

wow u know your shit when it comes to guns

[strawdogs111]

NUMBER ONE TV MOVIE ACTION!!!!

[ninelivecat]

The Professionals My latest obsession

[amyparking]

*The Professionals* to *The Avengers* is what Wings are to The Beatles

[kwisnothere]

"Wings... there only the band the Beatles could of been..."

[Azanti]

That warehouse was used in so many shows around that time and several episodes of the professionals, it also turned up in Blake 7 at one point.

[secordman]

Fantastic show, I wish the DVD's were available in Canada. By far the best imported show we got back in the early 80's. Gordon Jackson was magnificent.

[uptheresistance]

Who the hell created this show? Ludicrous. Laser lock and the bloke fell into the pool? Great show though, Phoenix clues within it. Check out the targets. slow mo, you may need the original copy. zoom in on 3rd target. top right behind target. warehouse. that's one of the points. the warehouse is now gone but the "landmark" is still there.

[barker262]

Sometimes forget this was made in the 80's. Laser lock sight was new then eh?!

[luciremagazine]

It was the 1970s and yep, this stuff was state of the art. This was the first TV show I had seen the laser-lock sight on.
