I liked/like The Sweeney tv series but feel it has always been overrated.
I find I get more from watching The Professionals than The Sweeeney.
People who study these subjects say that the British film industry in the 1970s was kept going by porn films,pop music films and tv spin offs.
If you don't know or like The Sweeney tv series this film is not for you.
The 2 leads play their usual parts as well as ever and the supporting cast is fine as well.
It seems Garfield Morgan did not want to play Haskins in this,felt the part was too small.
There is quite a lot of nudity and violence in this.
I have seen this film countless times but just saw it on a remastered blu ray and it looks great.
Some of then then topical jokes,referring to tv commercials will mean nothing to a younger audience.
The plot involves corrupt politicians and prostitutes.
One of the working girls she cost 1000 a night which seems an awful lot in 1976.
I like the film but the plot annoys me a little.
We had a Labour government 1974-1979.
This film was made in 1976.
Britain had a controversial energy minister,Tony Benn.
This film is partly about a dodgy energy minister.
Is the plot partly a political comment? Maybe I am reading too much into it.
Elsewhere in the film Jack Regan the policeman makes a left wing speech and Colin Welland plays a heroic editor of a left wing magazine.
