![]() ![]() For instance, there's a couple who try to hide they're Jewish after they know that the terrorists are Islamic by putting away their rings that feature Hebrew language. Although this is a super cliche method (when I watch Die Hard 2 I know exactly which airplane will crash because of this type of storytelling), it creates a lot of tension. It has a pretty good build-up in the first half because we see and know a lot of these hostages' backgrounds. Wait a minute, I'm kinda confused here, WHO'S THE REAL VILLAIN OF THIS FILM?. The motivation that makes Abdul decide to hijack the plane is his brother was killed by the US army, so he and his friends want to take their revenge on the American and Jewish people. At least, this film has a more realistic set up than previous Cannon flicks like Invasion U.S.A. Surprisingly The Delta Force has a pretty decent plot. This ensures there will be a lot of chase scenes, gun battles and explosions to satisfy the audience. Next, they land the plane yet again to release the women and children. Will it be easy as they plan? No way! Abdul Rifi (Robert Forster, Vigilante) the leader of the terrorists, decides to land the plane once to bring more armed terrorists on board and send the Jewish hostages somewhere else. Led by Colonel Nick Alexander (Lee Marvin), the main mission of The Delta Force unit is to rescue the hostages and hunt down the terrorists. We see a group of Lebanese terrorists hijack an American Travelways airplane and of course our hero Scott, who decided to retire after the failed mission, has to cope with this situation all over again. The movie then cuts back to the present day of 1985. We start the movie with a flashback 10 years earlier in which an operation to rescue some hostages fails and Captain Scott McCoy (Chuck Norris) doesn't get to save his friend. It stars Chuck Norris (one of the biggest stars of the Cannon era) and Lee Marvin. The Delta Force is a great example that represents the over-the-top style of the studio really well. Their action movies were really fun and entertaining no matter how ridiculous the plots were. As I've said in my earlier reviews, Cannon Films specialized in making exciting Hollywood studio films on B-Movie budgets. ![]()
