Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

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.

Leofwine_draca DELTA FORCE 2 was one of the first Chuck Norris movies I ever watched and it's stayed with me: a silly, completely OTT B-movie full of gunfire, explosions and cheap and cheerful special effects work. I recently revisited the movie on DVD, and I was pleased to find it still holds up to this day as one of the star's most simple yet entertaining films.I still haven't seen the original film, not that that matters: DELTA FORCE 2 is a standalone outing concerning a soldier's battles to take out a Colombian drug lord responsible for the death of his friend. There's nothing more to it than that, and much of the film is clearly modelled on the likes of Schwarzenegger's COMMANDO and Stallone's RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART 2. It's nowhere near as good as either of those, thanks to the lower budget, but it still packs a punch.Norris is in his element. He's hulking, tough, good looking and a nice guy with it. The type of hero it's easy to root for. He roundhouse kicks the bad guys, jumps through windows, breaks limbs and metes out punishment to both enemy soldiers and the new recruits unlucky enough to be placed under his charge. He also adds in a few quips here and there, which always helps.Opposite Norris, Billy Drago stars in what is still one of his most memorable roles as an utterly slimy drug baron. Drago is outrageously evil in this film, truly hissable. I won't spoil the ending, but let's just say it's the perfect pay-off for his character. Alongside Norris, we get John P. Ryan (IT'S ALIVE), chewing up the scenery a treat as the flag-waving general. Pretty Begona Plaza is thrown into the mix, just because there aren't any other women around.What follows is a mix of the usual action/hero type scenes: Chuck scales an impassable cliff, Chuck kills some henchmen, there's a helicopter battle and lots of jeeps being blown up. Plus, of course, the shoot-out in a jungle village, one of those stock scenes that just had to be every jungle action film of the 1980s (the only thing missing is a prison camp complete with guard tower). It's all lively and amusing, even if we had already seen it all before throughout the '80s, so my advice is to kick back and enjoy – without criticising too much!

CitizenCaine 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.

vip_ebriega My Take: Ridiculous and blood-thirsty. It's bloodily bad. Even if it was pure camp material, the original DELTA FORCE with Chuck Norris, Lee Marvin and a supporting all-star cast didn't take itself too seriously as it might have. The movie is pure B-movie, and it rarely took itself seriously. Same cannot be said about its sequel DELTA FORCE 2 in 1990 (also known as the COLUMBIAN CONNECTION). What the first film does with so much fun with itself was taken to darker and bloodier heights in this solid but joyless and too bloody sequel. Some stunt work (especially the skydiving scene and helicopters) are pretty good, but the overall film is too bloody serious to even be fun, hence it's often tedious.Chuck Norris looks bored replaying his role in the first film (Col. McCoy) for vengeance when his pal's wife was killed by a merciless drug dealer named Ramon Cotta (played with surprising menace by THE UNTOUCHABLES' Billy Drago), who has been freed numerous times after being captured. Although this villain is pretty mean as it should have, he's too bloody serious and cold-hearted, you'll hate him rather than like him for being mean. The rest of the film is as well, there's no fun to have here.If the film could have taken itself less serious, like the tone of its predecessor, it could have had more fun with its stunts and all. There are some neat stunts sequences as said, but like I said, it's not much fun. The seriousness could have been turned down and replaced with a lighter one, it could have warrant a passable rating (and perhaps, still keep its R rating). Production values aren't very high and some of the dubbing is weak, and the screenplay even given to the English-speaking actors aren't that good. Some fine helicopters but that's just about what this cheap "say no to drugs" B-movie from the Cannon Group Inc.Rating: * out of 5.
