Edward Fox' s weaponry
I have discussed this on other pages, notably The Wild Geese's discussion page.
In Wild Geese II (not The Wild Geese II) Fox's character Alex Faulkner uses only two weapons, a Safari Arms .45 pistol with scope, suppressor and shoulder stock and an Uzi. Although there is a scene were he lays out numerous weapons on a bed for Hadad (Scott Glenn) to chose.
In A Bridge Too Far Fox plays a Armoured Corps commander and therefore is never seen armed with anything more than a billiard cue - used as a pointer when describing the operation on a large wall mounted map.
In Force 10 from Navarone Fox doesn't use any gun or knife, being an explosives expert he carries a suitcase jam-packed with every thing from a rubber cobra to explosive dog sh*t. In the novel his character is armed with a silenced Luger but unless these scenes were cut i don't think it made the final film.
