With an eager underling out to prove himself, rival gangs making moves, and a rising body count, every step Tancredi makes threatens lives…including his own.”
TRIVIA---more James Bond movie trivia.
Character actor Bryan Marshall appeared in two movies in which he played a British military officer who dies while leading his men to escape from a prison.
In THE SPY WHO LOVED ME, Marshall played Royal Navy submarine Commander Talbot, who leads his men as they escape from the Liparus supertanker.
In MOSQUITO SQUADRON, Marshall played RAF Squadron Leader Neale, who dies as he leads his men as they escape from the Gestapo headquarters in the Chateau de Charlton. Ironically, MOSQUITO SQUADRON starred David McCallum, who had just achieved stardom in the James Bond spoof tv series THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.

WARLOK:
Not much on McTiernan except this from Wikipedia,
"His most recent feature film project (As of July 2021) was the 2003 thriller Basic with John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson. Reviews for Basic were mostly negative. Roger Ebert gave it one star out of four, saying it was "not a film that could be understood" and that "If I were to see it again and again, I might be able to extract an underlying logic from it, but the problem is, when a movie's not worth seeing twice, it had better get the job done the first time through." Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide gave it two stars out of four and said the film "keeps adding layers of confusion so that it becomes less interesting as it goes along! The final 'twist' seems to negate the entire story, like a bad shaggy-dog joke."
His career was derailed in 2006 because of legal problems which saw McTiernan spend time in prison. As a result of his conviction, The Hollywood Reporter called McTiernan one of Hollywood's most "despised" people. His short film, The Red Dot, was released by Ubisoft to advertise the 2017 video game Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands. It was the first of several action-oriented shorts to support the video game. The Red Dot was his first film project in 14 years."

Thanks. I didn't know he did that for Ubisoft. I would think (hope) that means he's still in the neighbourhood.
