Rat Patrol has a lot of post-Vietnam America vibe. The malaise of the 70's as everything seemingly went to shit: sweaty, grimy. I wonder how much their time in NYC in 81 influenced Rat Patrol? I think quite a bit.

Definitely an influence. But "Hearts of Darkness/Apocalypse Now" was the big influence on Joe.

As would Michael Herrs Dispatches which i think joe was reading around that time.

Regards The Fulham Connection"", a phrase i've always been curious about. Was watching an old episode of Minder earlier in which Arthur is being done for importing drugs (he's innocent, for once!) and uses the phrase a couple of times. I assumed it was a play on the movie title Joe or Topper had come up with but it was obviously in wider circulation before that.

That episode of Minder was released on 2nd October 1985.

It's a play on the movie title The French Connection II.

I did check it this morning and the episode they showed on itv today was from april, 1982, according to imdb anyway.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0648686/

Just a minor thing really, but i remember checking before and not being able to find any other references to the phrase being used so naturally my curiosity was piqued when i heard Arthur use it twice this morning.

Ahh I probably had the wrong episode "From Fulham with Love". But they were all filmed in the Fulham/Hammersmith/Shepherds Bush area.

So yeah could be a possibility Joe watched it.

Definitively a play on the Gene Hackman movie from 1975.

No question it's a play on the film, but i'd never made the leap joe might have picked it up from the tv show. Would make sense alright, though i'm wondering whether the song could have been written as late as April 82? I have actually spent an unreasonable amount of time researching this and can find no other source for the phrase being used. Dunno why it matters to me, but it does!

This thread got me spinning Combat Rock tonight. Rat Patrol is often mentioned as Mick's baby, but I think it features some of Joe's best lyrics.
