Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

a_chinn You know it's not a quality production when even Chuck Norris is on record as saying he didn't like this film (which was incidentally directed by his brother). The original Delta Force film was not all that good, but at least it had some credibility with a star studded cast of past-their-prime old Hollywood stars to bolster the weak story and action. This time we're left with direct-to-video quality of stars, led by Norris, now commanding the Delta Force with John P. Ryan (who almost died during production in a helicopter accident) against the evil South American drug kingpin Billy Drago. I suppose Richard Jaeckel qualifies as a past-their-prime old Hollywood type of star who appeared in the first film, but that film had multiple stars, which made it a bit classier and more like a 70s style Irwin Allen disaster film, but really there's no reason to watch this film unless you're a Chuck Norris die-hard or if (SPOILER ALERT!) you want to see another film where Billy Drago falls to his death (can you name that film?).

BA_Harrison I have a lot of time for Chuck Norris—he was the star of the first martial arts film I ever saw—but in '80s action hero hierarchy, the karate champ is strictly second tier, along with the likes of Van Damme, Seagal, and Lundgren. The reason for this is simple: he signed up with Cannon Films, whose action films were largely cheesy, gung-ho nonsense made on limited budgets—the kind of movies that got rented when there were no more copies of the latest Sly or Arnie film available. As Sly and Arnie's films got bigger and better, Chuck's simply stagnated.Delta Force 2 is a fairly typical Cannon/Norris effort—a loud, dumb, explosive piece of jingoistic nonsense in which Chuck plays Col. Scott McCoy, who vows to bring despicable South American drug-lord Ramon Cota (Billy Drago) to justice for killing DEA agent Bobby Chavez (Paul Perri) and his family. Travelling to the fictional South American country of San Carlos (NOT Colombia), McCoy scales a sheer rock-face, shoots numerous nameless henchmen while avoiding rocket launchers, survives certain death by gas chamber, takes on Cota's best fighter while spouting corny one-liners, and single handedly apprehends Cota, before fate intervenes and gives the sneering, baby-killing, rapist, cocaine baron his just desserts.Directed by Chuck's brother Aaron, this is formulaic and predictable stuff, but still manages to be slightly more entertaining than the first Delta Force movie, which couldn't decide whether to be a gripping hostage drama or a silly action flick. At least this one knows what it wants to be.

bowmanblue The original Delta Force was a classic. There was no surprise when its sequel was greenlit. However, if the rumours on the internet are to be believed, it suffered from numerous rewrites and had plenty of people with different ideas as to how it should play out. Not only that, but actor, Lee Marvin, died during parts 1 and 2, therefore taking him out of the entire sequel, obviously.So, we're left with the square-jawed baddie-killer, Chuck Norris, all by himself, packed and ready to take on the next wave of faceless henchmen and thugs.And he does okay. It's hard to put your finger on exactly what's missing from the second Delta Force. On the surface everything appears to be there: Chuck, action, fight scenes, outrageous stunts, explosions, evil bad guys - it's all there. But, despite it all, there still feels like there's something missing.This time, instead of Middle Eastern terrorists, we have Columbian drug lords (who follow every stereotype of South American cultures ever) who have kidnapped a load of DEA agents and, not only that, but they've only gone and murdered Chuck's best friend and his family. Hence Chuck better dust his beard down and kill absolutely everyone he meets. Which he does.It's all good harmless fun (if your definition of 'harmless fun' is 'killing thousands of people in gruesome and fiery ways), but, for some reason, definitely feels lesser to its predecessor. If you enjoyed the first, you'll probably enjoy the second, too. But, if you're new to the franchise, I'd advise checking out the first one before you sit down to this.

Peter Grunbaum I'm a big fan of Chuck Norris, and I really enjoyed this movie a lot. However, it is mostly the scenes with Chuck that actually works. I think there is too much violence in this movie. However, Chuck is really a powerful martial artist, and we see a lot of great martial arts techniques in this movie. It is no wonder than Bruce lee trained a lot with Chuck. Both of them are the real thing when it comes to martial arts, and their movies are a powerful display of their art. I thought many of the scenes in this particular movie were a bit stupid, however, it is an OK sequel, and it does make sense sort of. There's some great stunt scenes also, and, all things being equal, it is a great action-movie.
