I reckon there should be a few war movies made on true Ghurkha exploits, they were/are amazing troops and brilliant jungle fighters, not bloody doormen.

They are bad-ass warriors.

Too bloody right they should, Opa Brit.

Only problem, they will get the likes of Brad Pitt, Jason Statham, people like that to play the roles....

I seriously think that they should do that- made a movie of these people acts of valour...

We are trained to operate in the rear.

Serving soldiers are usually used as extra's in films, a Bridge Too Far comes to mind as well as Virgin Soldiers made in Singapore when I was there is another. I think Jason Statham would make a good choice depicting a Ghurka Officer.

Quite a bit of "Newsreel" taken during the war in North Africa was staged and not taken "as it happened."

As a matter of interest Brad Pitt was chosen to play a Gypsy in the film "Snatch," because he couldn't get the English accent right for another character in the film. Well that's what I've been told.

And if they do a remake of Dad's Army, then you two could probably play the main characters!
