The Delta Force. 1986.
When a plane bound from Athens to New York with a stop over in Rome is hijacked, a delta unit is tasked to rescue the passengers. when the attempt fails, they travel to Lebanon, failure is no option.
Aside from having the Cannon name and directed by Menahem Golan, this was actually decent action film based on a true story that happened in 1985.
Screen legend Lee Marvin stars as the Leader of the delta force and Chuck Norris as the second in command forced out of retirement for the rescue mission. Robert Forster stars as Abdul, leader of the terrorist freedom fighter and makes his character convincing and menacing at the same time. George Kennedy, Martin Balsam, Robert Vaughn star alongside. Recommended.
Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection. 1990.
When DEA Agents are taken hostage, Delta Force team lead by Scott McCoy are sent to South America and rescue them and take out a drug lord.
Chuck Norris returns for this sequel with a new team taking on Billy Drago who is ruthless and evil, his portrayal as the kingpin and makes him terrifying and sadistic. There is some nice camera work, plenty of action and explosions.The film may not be best sequel and doesn't live up to the first movie but it is watchable.
