RoboRabbit89 I had first seen this back in 2011 when I ordered it through the library and I really liked it. Then in 2015 my mom found it on VHS at a flea market along with two other Chuck Norris movies "Delta Force 2" and " Bardock: Missing in Action 3".I'm a bit of a Chuck Norris fan, I used to watch his TV show "Walker Texas Ranger" back when it was on TV which I'm a fan of.This movie is a lot of fun because you get to see old Chuck kick some terrorist ass with his squad, I'm a bit fussy on the details because I haven't watched it often, so please bare with me as I try to tell you the story.If I remember correctly the terrorists hijack a 747 with Robert Forester as the terrorist leader (you know for the longest time I did not realize that he was even in this, it took me two years to find out! LOL). The hijackers demand payment or they will kill a hostage every hour, and so The Delta Force are call in to help stop the terrorists and rescue the hostages (hope that was helpful)?On to the action scenes, the action is very good and well paced since this runs at 2 hrs. 5 min. it's done well because it could have been slow and boring but thank goodness it moves at a brisk pace. And it also has some pretty good tension in some scenes.Overall a really good movie from start to finish with funny one liners and cool action scenes. I give it a 5/10. Watch it with friends. It's a good time for sure.
Predrag "Delta Force" is a classic of the Action/Adventure genre. Karate champ Chuck Norris has been in some pretty cool movies, like "Lone Wolf McQuade" and "Missing in Action," but this is probably his best one. The plot is nothing creative: Norris plays a commando on the trail of a group of Palestinian terrorists who have hijacked a plane. What makes the story so great is that it is grounded in reality. Although the film does become something of a conventional shoot-'em-up in its final forty minutes, The Delta Force turns out to be far better than most films of its ilk.The musical score is fantastic, I love it. It appears when Norris appears and is totally original and fits the movie perfectly. It is decent acted but overall good directed. Even granting the PC point, this film portrays it's American Jews as Lower-East Side, Holocaust-obsessed yentas. At least the Cannon Group gave them equal time. But to be fair, it's not like this is the first Hollywood movie to take liberties with reality... if it's reality you want, there's the evening news. If it's terrorist ass kicking you want, then there's always Delta Force.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
Billy Lee Harman This film is about as realistic as Yahoo Netanyahu's Spy vs. Spy bomb cartoon, and not only by depicting one of its "Delta Force" commando characters reading a book with the title Mad War, with a picture of Alfred E. Neuman on its cover. But what can we expect from a director whose name is Menaham Golan, Menachem Begin having been the Zionist terrorist who orchestrated the bombing of the King David Hotel killing 93 noncombatants before being Prime Minister of Israel, and the Golan Heights being Palestinian territory Israel occupies contrary to international law? We need to hope that United States Special Forces, who swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States with its mandate for separation of church and state, are nonsectarian. HITRT
kevincoleman37 My son and I were scanning Netflix and I thought he might like this movie. I really couldn't remember watching Delta Force. It was absurd - at the very beginning there is a guy stuck in a burning building or chopper and he is stuck under a jeep ---- no one in the squad goes to help the guy except Norris, All the others run away and say screw it. even when Norris is helping the guy, Lee Marvin insists they have to get going and close up the plane to leave - he is basically saying whatever I don't care who gets left behind. Then they try to make this movie seem realistic as that whole scene was supposed to be the attempt to recover the hostages in Iran. we fast forwarded over most of it - but what we saw was ridiculous - in a final scene a plane is taking off trying to leave Beirut - first of all - the airport is in the middle of a massive cotton field... since when do they grow cotton in Beirut? there are terrorists ON THE RUNWAY shooting at the plane and the bullets literally bounce off the wheels and the sides of the plane. they shot at the plane with 6 or seven machine guns with the plane driving straight at them for about a minute and didn't do any damage.we were laughing so hard at how stupid it was. my son and I both agreed we would have kicked the crap out of the two terrorists that originally took over the plane. that would be more believable than what we were watching. fun to watch for a laugh and wonder how people were allowed to make this quality of a movie.
