4.0 out of 5 stars Two Words: BILLY DRAGO, Feb 10 2004

By

Stanley Runk "Runkdapunk" (Camp North Pines) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Delta Force 2: Operation Stranglehold (Full Screen) (DVD)

This one was made in Cannon's last days. In fact, only Golan was left at this point. It's still Cannon all the way. As another reviewer stated, Delta Force 2-Operation Scrotumhold could have just as easily been Missing In Action 4, coz it follows the same formula. It's a solid, fun Norris actioner as you'd come to expect from a Cannon/Norris collaboration. What really made it especially fun for me was the appearance of Billy Drago as the villian. Though he was playing the stereotypical evil drug lord, he puts his own stamp on the role. Any fan of Billy Drago knows what I mean; He's the perfect villian. He's creepy, sinister and as sleazy looking as they get. If I made action films, I'd have to cast Billy Drago in at least one of them. The film's funniest moment has Chuck throwing Billy out of an airplane as a joke. This has to be seen to be believed, it's hysterical. The plot? Evil Colombian drug lord holds DEA agents hostage and basically terrorizes everyone. Naturally, the courts can't hold him, so Norris decides to rescue the agents and bring the drug operation to the ground. With the help of the Delta Force of course! This time, John P. Ryan takes the place of Lee Marvin as the trigger happy General, and he's quite amusing. Highly recommended if you like this sorta junk.

3.0 out of 5 stars The inevitable squel, Feb 9 2004

By

Lunar Strain "Thrash, don't mind if I do" (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Delta Force 2: Operation Stranglehold (Full Screen) (DVD)

With the success of THe Delta Force, it was inevitable that there wouldn't be a sequel. THough it did take four years, the sequel did finally arrive. Basically Delta Force 2 is your average Norris actionier. If you liked is other action films of the 80's,, then you will definitely like this one too. Basically the only connection this has to the original Delta Force is that Norris plays the character Scott McCoy, otherwise there is none. I don't even recall the term Delta Force even being used in the film other than the title itself. THough Norris was the star fo the frist film, it was about the Delta Force "team" going in and talking on terrorists. THis film is basically about a one man army going down to Columbia to take downa a druglord. If you changed Norris's name to Braddock, you could title this film Missing In Action 4; that's how little of a connection it has to the first Delta Force. THough there is little connection, fans will enjoy. Billy Drago actually gives a decent performance as the head baddie in this little B-movie effort. Also we get another cheese performance by John P. Ryan, a veteran of Cannon films including Death Wish 4 and Runaway Train. In conclusion, Delta Force 2 is your average Norris actionier. Not as good as Missing In Action or The Delta Force, but better than Firewalker and Hellbound.

TRIVIA: The original VHS release by Media Home Video had the title DELTA FORCE 2: OPERATION STRANGLEHOLD printed on teh box art but the film itself only portrayed the title DELTA FORCE 2. The newer DVD release has the title DELTA FORCE 2 on the box but the film itself portrays the title DELTA FORCE 2: THE COLUMBIAN CONNECTION, which is also the title used when shown on various cable channels.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF CHUCK'S BEST!!!!, Dec 11 2003

SMC "SMC" (los Angeles) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Delta Force 2: Operation Stranglehold (Full Screen) (DVD)

I am a big fan of ridiculous action movies as long as I am not bored..the more over the top, the better. This movie is better than Part 1 by leaps and bounds, and Billy Drago plays the bad guy perfect for this one. For the money, this is a great buy, forget Part 1, Part 2 is better purchase.

Chuck Norris is brilliant as Colonel Scott McCoy, a man who kicks and asks questions later in the exciting and entertaining sequel to the original Delta Force. Read more
