Rules of Engagement (2000)
Rules of Engagement is a 2000 war drama directed by William Friedkin (The French Connection) and starring Samuel L. Jackson as U.S Marine Colonel Terry Childers, who finds himself facing a court-martial after ordering his troops to open fire on a crowd of civilian protesters in Sana'a, Yemen. Tommy Lee Jones co-stars as Hayes Hodges, a retired Marine Colonel and friend of Childers who must defend him in court.
The following weapons were used in the film Rules of Engagement:
The M1911A1 appears in the film as the sidearm of then-Lieutenant Terry Childers (Samuel L. Jackson) in Vietnam. Childers uses the M1911A1 to force NVA Colonel Binh Le Cao (Baoan Coleman) to order his men to disengage after they ambush the U.S Marines being led by then-Lieutenant Hayes Hodges (Tommy Lee Jones).
Customized Springfield Armory Professional 1911 Pistol
While Childers is crying on the desk there is a Springfield Armory Professional customized with stainless parts. It is possible that the pistol is a customized Kimber.
During the opening Vietnam scenes, then-Lieutenants Hodges (Tommy Lee Jones) and Childers (Samuel L. Jackson) lead a platoon of Marines armed with M16A1s.
The AKMS is used by the Yemeni protesters during the siege of the U.S embassy in Sana'a. A memorable scene in the film shows a first-person view of an AKMS firing at the U.S. flag as it's being taken down from the embassy, the shooter putting several holes in the flag before the Marines can get it down.
The M4A1 carbine is used by Captain Lee (Blair Underwood) during the embassy evacuation. Another Marine escorting Ambassador Mourain (Ben Kingsley) is also armed with a M4A1.
AKMSU carbines are carried by Yemeni security forces when Hodges visits Sana'a as part of his investigation, and in flashback sequences during Col. Childers' court-marshal.
The M60 machine gun is used by Marines in the opening Vietnam scenes and later on the UH-1 helicopter that transports Col. Childers' team to the besieged U.S. embassy in Yemen.
During the embassy siege, several Marines use Daewoo K3 light machine guns that have been visually modified to resemble the M249 SAW (they are fitted with M249 heat shields, among other features, but are recognizable as K3s due to the shape of the front sight and gas tube).
