ShangLuda
Admirable film.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I was channel switching on TV and then i noticed this movie. I think like most of the people have done to see this movie, seen it by accident. I don't believe you will rent this or even buy it from the budget case.I jumped in midways and i didn't had the idea i was missing something. I saw a man tossing a coin to distract some hostiles and later tossing his shoe to set up his master plan to knockout some bad guy's.So i red the info in the magazine, 2 soldiers need to secure a plane hijacked by terrorist but unfortunately one of the soldiers wife is held as a hostage.If you see those scenes and then read the info you know you should just turn of your TV or watch something else, but for some reason you just don't and you really want to know why and keep watching, hopefully it will become clear.And to be honest, the acting isn't really that bad. Michael Paré and Jean Michael Vincent are doing their best to make it worth the effort and is acceptable for a low budget mid 90ies B-Film.OK, there are some really stupid scenes in the movie which just don't make any sense, especially the RPG launcher in the hotel room scene is just hilarious, same as the voice acting and language by the terrorist is so extremely bad that it is fun to watch.Deadly heroes is a mediocre mid 90ies B movie and good for a few laughs. So you have a B movie which is mediocre from the mid 90ies and still good for a few laughs?Yes it is!And i think that is the reason why i kept watching, for some fun and a few laughs, but i agree that there are better movies for that!

I was flipping channels today and was drawn into this celluloid vortex of unintentional hilarity. It was like a ghastly car wreck, I knew I shouldn't look...but I couldn't help myself. For me, the most hilarious element of the movie was the fact that they couldn't afford professional stunt people, so these poor actors (I use the term "actor" loosely) had to do their own stunts!!! And believe me, when you see Grade D actors doing their own stunts, it's pretty funny to watch. My wife and I were rolling on the ground with laughter at the terribly choreographed fight scenes and special effects. There's one scene where Jan Michael Vincent tries to do a "wheel kick" to take down a terrorist and he literally stumbles and falls onto the guy! And they didn't edit it out! LOL For me, "Deadly Heroes" (even the title is hilarious) has become the contemporary "Plan Nine From Outer Space," in that they take it so seriously...and yet it's such an amateurish train wreck. If you appreciate truly bad dialogue, you'll love this film. Pretty much every third line is an "oucher." I'm going to try and find this film on video and invite some friends over for a hoot of a time. If you're the type that enjoys movies that are so bad they're good, I highly recommend this film. Cheers!

You know those mid-eighties, cheap Chuck Norris rip - off films with a dull hero, a bad villain, a crapped on piece of paper for a script and an idiot who think it is good behind the camera? Well this is the mid-nineties version. All the actors, except those who play the really tiny parts and who die only to leave a track of ketchup on the wall, look and act like they've been pulled out of a crappy film to star in this even bigger load of crap. I mean there are A flicks, B flicks and even C flicks, but I truly believe the alphabet does not cover enough letters to give this film one. Even a Z would be too good a letter (plus I'd embarrass the Z). It sure as hell deserves a 0,2 out of 10, but since that cannot be done here those people are very, very, very lucky to get as much as:
1 out of 10

This is one of those good-guys-on-a-daring-mission-against-impossible-odds movies that offers the expected bursts of violent action just often enough to maintain the interest of its intended audience. Remember when Michael Pare showed promise back in the underrated "Streets of Fire?" He's come down from those days but still makes a suitable hero and is keeping himself in shape. Note how good he looks in the torture scene where he's stripped to his undershorts, tied against a wall, and subjected to punches, kicks, and a few electrical shocks. Titillatingly, some of these shocks are applied directly to his nipples though the contact is just a flash and can't compare to the slow, agonized way in which Steve Durham's nipples were "fried" in "Born American." Pare's undershorts, alas, keep off-limits the more sensitive and vulnerable areas of his male anatomy -- a bit of prudishness which doesn't make much sense when the whole idea is to subject him to the greatest possible pain.
