BA_Harrison 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.

Peter Grunbaum I'm a big fan of Chuck Norris, and I really enjoyed this movie a lot. However, it is mostly the scenes with Chuck that actually works. I think there is too much violence in this movie. However, Chuck is really a powerful martial artist, and we see a lot of great martial arts techniques in this movie. It is no wonder than Bruce lee trained a lot with Chuck. Both of them are the real thing when it comes to martial arts, and their movies are a powerful display of their art. I thought many of the scenes in this particular movie were a bit stupid, however, it is an OK sequel, and it does make sense sort of. There's some great stunt scenes also, and, all things being equal, it is a great action-movie.

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.

Erich8192 Chuck Norris returns after the death of actor Lee Marvin (rip) in 1987 to reprise his role as Scott McCoy head of Delta Force Team. In the 1986 original film he and his men were fighting cooky Islamic airplane hijackers, this time around the team is gone and it is up to one man army McCoy to take on the sadistic South American drug lord Ramon Cota, played by the pure evil on screen known as Billy Drago. Cannon Films produced, so the budget is moderate and the hard R violence and heavy handed conservative social commentary are a plenty. The ending is cheese-ball, but there are a lot of gung ho jungle fights, extended car chases, and hand to hand combat to keep this revenge/war on drugs crossover story pretty damn entertaining.
