Movie Trivia/Goofs

  • Movie Goof (revealing mistake): During the Embassy storm sequence two dummies are clearly used dangling from a helicopter, representing SAS soldiers entering the building through the top floor windows.
  • The American embassy we see in the movie is actually the main building of the Pinewood Studios near London. Also the corridors, the stairs and the dining room of the studios were used by director Ian Sharp.
  • Bishop Crick ('Kenneth Griffith') is a crude parody of Churchman Bruce Kent who was running CND at the time.
  • For publicity, cinemas were embellished with displays of Union Jacks. The original Rank Organisation Press Book provided the following instructions: "Study carefully the stills from Who Dares Wins to get an idea of what the S.A.S. uniform looks like. From this you may gauge the type of gear in which to dress your street stunt squad to support the film. Male members of your staff, as well as college students, should be approached to help in this Task Force. Have your Who Dares Wins Task Force carry out carefully-planned 'raids' on local newspaper offices and stores at peak hours to attract the maximum public attention. Their object being to 'rescue' the editor or store manager and supply him with press kits, posters, etc. on the film... A TRIBUTE TO SAS HEROES - Who Dares Wins is a film tribute to the action men of the S.A.S. Many films today are down-beat in their approach to patriotism, so let it be known far and wide that British producer Euan Lloyd is proudly waving the Union Jack for Who Dares Wins."
