I love this movie so much

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

hyped garbage

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

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.

Routine action movie that has next-to-nothing in common with the great Delta Force. It does, however, have a tour-de-force performance by Billy Drago as a ruthless Colombian (!) drug lord. Chuck Norris reprises the role of Scott McCoy from the first film, who is tasked with bringing down Drago and saving America from drugs. Pretty standard action movie plot. There are also some unintended laughs. For example, there's the scene where Chuck's buddy has just discovered his wife and brother dead. He falls to his knees and screams in the most melodramatic way possible, making sure all those acting classes counted for something. I couldn't help but be reminded of McBain from The Simpsons screaming "Mendoza!!!!" over the dead body of his friend. This is pretty cheesy stuff but die-hard Chuck fans will be more forgiving than most.

Chuck Norris returns as Colonel Scott McCoy in this testosterone-filled sequel to The Delta Force. In this film, Norris opens a can of whoop ass to take down a Columbian drug lord, even though the film was made in Tennessee and the Philippines. Billy Drago, who always plays villains well, is especially menacing in this film. Norris is more active than usual in this film: training commandos, climbing hills, kicking ass, and swerving away from enemy fire in a Cadillac limousine no less. The better Norris films are those that focus on the action because the acting and the plots are usually forgettable. Here he has plenty of assistance in the form of a band of commandos and their leader who is a bit too much gung ho. The action sequences are terrific, especially the sky-diving scene, the fight with Miguel (played by hector Mercado), and some of the chases. The last half of the film is almost a long, non-stop action sequence. Norris gets in a few of his usual tough guy/stale quips like "my turn to teach" and "school's out" during his fight with Hector Mercado. The disappointing thing is Norris and Drago never have the anticipated climactic fight Drago has had in other films. It's by the numbers, but it's still very entertaining. **1/2 of 4 stars.

Let me put it forward. I didn't think all that much of the original, and that's exactly the same on this one. However for some enjoyable, light-headed entertainment it passed the buck for me, compared with the first outing. The two films couldn't be anything but different though. The first featured heavily on political terrorists, as this one plays out more like a comic-book revenge story with the drug cartel in his sights. Even though he's still apart of 'The Delta Force', this time Norris goes it alone, and tackles South American drug lords led by an impressively juicy and vicious Billy Drago bad guy performance of utter evilness and slime. Norris' personal, easy-going turn, is less mechanical to his first showing of the McCoy character.Now this one was full-throttle from the get-go, and looked like it had a sizable budget. The gritty action is furious, and at times unpleasant. Just look at some of those remarkably creative stunt works involving an intense rock climb and thrilling sky dive. Some of the potent camera work neatly dons some sharp angles, and works in the jungle locations to great effect. There are explosions. Big ones. Numerous ones. Norris is that hard to kill, that they use a grenade launcher to stop him. Alas with no prevail. And you gotta love the inter-cutting slow-motion. Aaron Norris (yep Chuck's brother) directs by throwing caution to the wind, and while it's not first-rate handling and freshly organised. He demonstrates enough to keep you watching, and lets it tick along. The material is the real weak point. The bloated screenplay is covered with coincidences, and dialogues are fairly leaden. The rest of the performances are a can of worms. John P Ryan gleefully hams it up as Gen. Taylor and Richard Jeckal skews in as a determined DEA Agent. The beautiful Begona Plaza is appealingly good too.I was expecting worse of this sequel. Pure tempo-laced b-action fun, where the cold stare of Drago steals the show.
