When notorious drug lord Ramon Cota (The Untouchables' Billy Drago) captures a team of American narcotics agents ? as well as a member of McCoy's elite Delta Force commando unit ? and imprisons them in his remote San Carlos compound, The Delta Force charges into action, waging war against Cota's powerful cocaine empire. Against all odds, McCoy and his squad must fight their way to a blistering final battle to free the hostages and destroy the ruthless criminal mastermind in this lightning-paced and "outrageously exciting" (Video Movie Guide) turbo-charged adventure!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lesson #2: Buy this DVD!, January 15, 2002

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

This movie hit me like a gut-punch! I expected a cheesy Rambo rip-off, but this was one of the greatest action movies ever! Ramon Cota is even more threatening than Hans Gruber from "Die Hard!" Hats off to Chuck Norris and Billy Drago. The fight choreography makes more recent action movies look like a Riverdance routine. I swear Chuck actually hit some guys making this movie!

Do not forget to watch the "training circle" scene with DVD slow-motion.

My only complaint was that the DVD wasn't letterboxed. A movie this good deserves a better presentation.

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

This is a slick,well paced sequel to a superb original action movie.The engaging Chuck Norris returns as Col.McCoy in highly suited action mode,and Billy Drago is hissably sadistic and cruel as the wretched,slimy villain.The action,including the martial arts and explosions,are fabulous ,as are the inventive one-liners and photography of Latin America.A great film for Chuck to have entered the '90's with.

4.0 out of 5 stars The long awaited sequel, April 26, 1999

This review is from: Delta Force 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Good old American Patriotism accounts for most American action movies, with Chuck Norris representing the free world with his deadly Karate moves and extreme firepower. After seeing Delta Force at the tender age of eight, although I don't recommend it to anyone younger, Chuck Norris took over from James Bond (a true Englishman that represents my humble Great Britain). The original Delta Force, in my opinion, was a flawless 5 star movie that incorporated every action movie cliché into what should have been labelled the best action film of this century. 5 years on Delta Force 2 is made and the question is on every Chuck Norris fan's lips, "Is it any good". You'd be forgiven for asking this after all how can you build on an already perfect film? Well with production names including Aaron Norris and Globus this film doesn't disappoint. So after blowing up half of the middle-eastern terrorists in the original Delta Force who's in the firing line now? This time the enemy is the almost domestic Columbia drug baron poring it's drugs into America. Sounds boring? Well thankfully once you realise that after the first ten minutes this isn't a second rate action/thriller, the action begins to roll with Chuck Norris going on a one man solo mission. "A one man mission?" you may ask, worrying about not seeing those well choreographed motorcycle stunts performed in the original. Sadly the military hardware has been scrapped from the script. What we do see instead is some of Chuck Norris's most explosive Karate moves since his fight against Bruce Lee in "Way of the Dragon". Delta Force 2 is a difficult movie to recommend to someone who liked Delta Force, but isn't a Norris fan in general. The film really takes a giant leap to once side as supposed to up, in the fact that it is different. By removing the title and changing a few names, you'd believe this is "Missing In Action" 4 as it has the same feel as the series. In short if you liked the original because of it's feel good "go get em" action scenes, then this may taste a little sour. Why? The reason being is that the driving force is basically, witness a few cold blooded killings and watch Norris perform some of the most aggressive kicks you'll ever see him doing. Buy this, sit back and lock and load!.
