You know all these movies, where you are banging your head against a wall, because nobody seemed to care about realism?
This movie had Red Adair as technical adviser, and it shows.
***MINOR SPOILER***
There is a scene where two explosive charges must be at their (different) destinations exactly at the same time and Buckman's men tell him "We have practised 12 times and finally it worked". His answer is "Practise it 12 times more, and if it works EVERY time, we'll do it." I bet this line is from Red Adair himself.
