Without Remorse

The film adaptation of Tom Clancy's 1993 novel 'Without Remorse' had been in development since the 1990s. In 1994, Keanu Reeves was offered $7 million for the role of John Clark but turned it down. In 1995, the film, which was set to be written and directed by John Milius and would star Laurence Fishburne and Gary Sinise, was two weeks away from shooting, before it was shut down, due to the financial collapse of Savoy Pictures. In 2012, Christopher McQuarrie signed on with Paramount Pictures to direct the film, with Tom Hardy in talks to play John Clark and Kevin Costner in talks to play his mentor, William Harper. In September 2018, it was announced that Michael B. Jordan would be playing John Clark in a two-part film series, which will be composed of 'Without Remorse' and 'Rainbow Six'. Director Stefano Sollima was announced in December 2018 and filming began in Berlin in October 2019.

During the aborted freefall insertion scene, the jump team is wearing oxygen masks, as would be required for an exit at high altitude (above 13,000 MSL), and the cargo hold is unpressurized. When the fighter jets intercept, the team leaves the cargo hold and immediately moves back into the cabin and remove their masks. When the door between the cargo hold and cabin is open, the entire cabin is now unpressurized and everyone should still be on oxygen.

During the credits, John Kelly, now John Clark, meets with Ritter with a proposal to form a counter-terrorist unit called "Rainbow", setting up the events of Rainbow Six.
