The Final Option or Who Dares Wins (Original British Title) is a 1982 action film starring Lewis Collins, Judy Davis, and Edward Woodward, with Richard Widmark, directed by Ian Sharp (The Professionals). Producer Euan Lloyd (The Wild Geese, Shalako) was so inspired by the storming of the Iranian embassy by the SAS in 1980, an event he watched live in person, he immediately got the ball rolling on a film about the SAS. Filming was done with the full cooperation of the SAS and the British Army. Star Lewis Collins had actually passed SAS selection at one point, but was ultimately rejected due to his fame.
The following guns were used in the film The Final Option (1982):
SAS troopers and Captains Hagen (Bob Sherman) and Freund (Albert Fortell) carry L1A1 SLR rifles during their field exercise in Wales.
MAC-10
Most of the terrorists are armed with MAC-10 submachine guns. Some of them are fitted with suppressors. In the dialogue, they are described as being chambered in "9mm."
