Malek is welcomed into the British establishment, not least by his egregious lawyer, who invites him to have dinner with his family. The film's final scene is more alarmist than triumphalist, showing Malek arriving at what appears to be a smart London club to meet a pillar of the British establishment (Paul Freeman) who abhors all this killing of terrorists. The two men link arms while Malek explains that the People's Lobby were just amateurs and that they have plenty of time to cause more chaos and destruction. "All the time in the world" he says, and the film climaxes with a rousing rendition of The Red Flag, followed by the end credits. His portrayal of a hard-man in The Professionals earned him the role of Captain Peter Skellen in the film 'Who Dares Wins.' Of course, there are shady foreigners behind all of this, in the person of Middle Easterner Malek (Aharon Ipale), who arrives in London with huge wads of cash to spend on "worthy causes", which are in fact various pseudo-revolutionary organisations and terrorist fronts.

Skellen attempts to work his way into the group's inner circle and find out what the target of their operation is. But Frankie's colleague Rod doesn't trust him and, while he's roped into the operation at the last minute as an adviser, his wife and child are taken hostage to make sure he plays along. Both Shaw and Collins had to undergo rigorous physical training courses to keep them fit, as well as being taught advanced driving skills.Who Dares Wins is quite a different beast from Euan Lloyd's previous productions, even his last two films, the old geezer war adventures The Wild Geese and The Sea Wolves, despite also being a military-based action film. It's a deliberate attempt to make a more modern, gritty and relevant film, an urban thriller with plenty of swearing and violence for 1982 and, as Ben Elton would say, a little bit of politics. The most remarkable thing about Rose's script is that Euan Lloyd must have looked at it at some point and thought "This is a good script", which is hard to believe. Or at least "This script is adequate", which is not much easier to believe.

Before The Professionals finished its run, Collins starred in the British film Who Dares Wins (1982). He played an SAS officer, Captain Peter Skellen, who goes undercover to foil a group of anti-nuclear terrorists. It was widely derided for its hawkish politics and for its implausibility, with the critic Roger Ebert remarking: "There are so many errors of judgment, strategy, behaviour and simple plausibility in this movie that we just give up and wait for it to end." Lewis Collins: Screen hard man who came to fame in 'The Professionals' ". The Independent. 28 November 2013. Archived from the original on 14 June 2022. In 1976, the dramatist and television producer Brian Clemens wrote a new British television crime-action drama series entitled The Professionals, modelled on the success of the hit American television series Starsky and Hutch. It was also intended to be a more realistic follow-up to a prior successful television series that he had just produced about government agents entitled The New Avengers.

The dialoge between Judy Davis , and Richard Widmark who plays Arthur Curry, fictional American secretary of state, joined by Robert Webber , who portrays Ira Potter head of America's fictional Strategic Air Command, truly exposed the hypocrisy of those Pseudo-Pacifists, who hide under causes that in the surface promote peace, to carry out their terrorist agenda. this dialoge is too good to give away. Over the years he would attend PR events and always still have time for us. Events such as The Hillingdon Show, Eastcote signing session, This is Your Life and of course the opening of In the film, Skellen roared around on a Harris Magnum and in real-life, Collins himself was a bit of a bike nut, having a number of bikes of his own as well as Ducati Hailwood rep which used to sit in his front room.Their immediate target is the house of the US Ambassador; he his hosting a dinner attended by the British Foreign Secretary, the US Secretary of State and the general in charge of Strategic Air Command... Frankie believes that with these hostages the authorities will have no choice but to give in to their demands. She informs the authorities that if the hostages are to survive a nuclear missile must be fired at the submarine base at Holy Loch... as the Secretary of State points out she is clearly insane. With such a crazy demand it is only a matter of time before the building is stormed by the SAS. After The Professionals concluded, Collins went on to play several relatively minor TV roles – including a sheriff of Nottingham in Robin of Sherwood (1986), and Colonel Mustard in six episodes of a British TV game-show adaptation of Cluedo (1991-92). But he was never able to match his success in The Professionals and in later years lived quietly with his family in Los Angeles. the funding for the terrorists was not too far from the real life truth,and it was a time of mercenaries,everybody was hiring everyone who was special op trained
