| Thread to make a note of where British Army equipment appears in movies, mostly i suspect we will find old equipment no longer in service, either now in service overseas or previously used.
After seeing an unbelievably bad film today, it did have some redeeming features.
Namely a formation of FV101 Scorpions from what looked like the Royal Thai Army. Its not every day you see Scorpions fighting against what is clearly ninja infantry...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318498/ Ninja in the Killing Fields - a real car crash of a guns and martial arts film but sometimes the junk from our local charity shops has a certain quaint value 
Anyone else know any lesser known movies with past and present British Army kit in? |

| Sad bit of movie trivia, but i spotted a CR1 track link in WW2 film Saving Private Ryan. At the end where Tom Hanks is dying it is on the floor next to his head, time travelling Challenger Tanks no doubt
