Dude.

I appreciate your insight into the movie in thread.

But I entirely enjoy your pictures more.

Please. For the love of all that's good and good in the world, take more pictures and post them.

This film is based on actual events.


Yuri Orlov is a composite of five real arms dealers.


No US studios would back the film. Foreign finances were secured instead.


The tanks seen in the movie were real and belonged to a Czech arms-dealer.


Before shooting the scene where tanks were lined up for sale, the filmmaker had to warn NATO, lest they think a real war was being started when they see satellite images of the set.
