Talk:Hamilton: I nationens intresse

Something I noticed

Hamilton has a US Navy Special Warfare badge (aka, the "Budweiser") on his SDBs (or whatever the Swedish equivalent is called) in Commander Hamilton, but it's missing on the poster of this film. I'm not sure what the Royal Swedish Navy policy on wearing foreign badges is, but the Budweiser is really sticks out due to its size. --Funkychinaman (talk) 20:25, 15 December 2013 (EST)

Its due to the book (I don't know if the author researched it) in the books Hamilton is BUD's graduate, trough exchange program, have never read the books myself have never found an english translation over here, and I don't like to read russian translations, watched the movie in russian though, I think he had the trident, but it was scaled down unlike the old TV mini series (first pic), anyway these films are pretty good, if only there was an english dub --Iceman (talk) 11:27, 16 December 2013 (EST)

The copy I had was an English dub as well, unfortunately. It did sound like they got the actual stars to dub their own dialogue at least. I'm aware that it's established canon that Hamilton did pass the BUD/S course and is entitled to wear the badge, I was just wondering why it didn't show up in the poster of the new film. One would assume he'd wear it if he's earned it. --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:49, 16 December 2013 (EST)

He has the Budweiser on his suit in the film (as evidenced below), don't know why it was left out of the poster, though. Guess they had to make room for the title. They even referenced his Seal training in this one (or the one after, can't remember). --Warejaws (talk) 11:50, 16 December 2013 (EST)

The film also had ak5's the new version if I remember correctly, used by naval special forces (if I remember correctly) guarding the island, and one taken by Hamilton, but never used. Or was it the second movie? --Iceman (talk) 13:21, 16 December 2013 (EST)

This one, I'm just getting to the "Rifles" section --Warejaws (talk) 13:25, 16 December 2013 (EST)

Great job, I saw both movies some time ago and I remember thinking its a shame they don't have a page, as they are quite good action flicks, with lots of guns. I guess its that they aren't realy popularized outside of sweeden, with mostly unknown cast members. My theory on the missing trident is simply that the visual team wanted a completely black suit to look cool, they probably added the ribbon bar to not look completely civilian, in general those people in most cases don't care about the movie, most posters are just to draw in the audiences. --Iceman (talk) 13:29, 16 December 2013 (EST)

Thanks. I once thought that too, and after Funky made the page for Stormare's Hamilton I watched these again and decided to take action. There's a fight scene near the end of the first one that is really well executed. Reminds me of the fight scene in Bourne Ultimatum between Damon and the assassin in the room with the books and stuff... --Warejaws (talk) 13:38, 16 December 2013 (EST)

Hamilton and his Budweiser. He also has Fallskärmsjägarna badge on the other side.

This guy has fewer ribbons as well. I'm sure they've got the floating timeline going like they have with James Bond, but this guy seems at least the same age as Peter Stormare's Hamilton, if not older.

In the actual film, he has the Budweiser.
