[lucsergerie]

Did Scott shave? No way lol

 

[tdsacanada]

No.... definitely not. Scott and myself were unable to attend.

I'm amazed they let Dougie and Corie out in public...

 

[floman]

In honour of this, I shall be wearing hockey shin guards on TR3 next year

So we'll finally get to see a SWAT team on TV that doesn't have their fingers on the trigger

I gave them a conditional 2 day pass... because I'm nice like that

Yes. But we hail from TDSA Missouri. That's where Scott got his instructor status.

Someone left their cage open! I assure you it won't happen again. : )

 

[tdsacanada]

Just got the call.... I'm in for the next round of filming next weekend.

I'll keep y'all posted on the goings on and some more pics of me and the team.

Cheers ,

Greetings ,

We were back on set today for " Ransom ". The boys and I had a great day.

4 of us were on the NYPD SWAT team with 4 other actors. They had us up on roofs running and climbing over walls, making dynamic exits from the SWAT truck, all kinds of stuff.

That one guy needs to change his watch. Timex ironman or similar digital would be accurate. With 24 hour time setting. Also more tactical hair gel along with mirrors is required to be authentic.

Looks like fun.

 

[Deckard]

Dude needs an optic and all need back up rear sights.

 

[tdsacanada]

We got what the prop department gave us. .. you get no say on the kit.

A buddy of mine worked as Swat/ERT in a lot of movies. In one he had what looked like a 1960s flashlight attached to a M16 as a tactical light. Even worse than the one in the photos above! He also had to use what was provided. Still ended up getting ribbed unmercifully by myself and a few other buddies! All in good fun.

All good my friend. We treated the kit nicely. But I can't say the same for who had them before us. They were all airsoft guns anyways.

No pellets though.... hahaha

That's a tactical Luminox watch, very appropriate...hmm wait a minute, you're right, the SWAT guys proabaly couldn't afford $600 watch! . I'll tell him to save that watch for the next reenactment of Seal Team 6 or Delta Force.

Ahhh, now it makes more sense. Must be a military thing. Cops usually buy watches for after work that say Rolex etc on them to go along with the new truck or car. . All in good fun. Really the main issue is that wardrobe didn't give the poor guy a shirt with longer sleeves.

I found this for comparison. Thought it was kind of cool to compare the production uniforms.
