4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent action movie., October 10, 2001

By	Mian Sukiman "M Suk" (Jakarta Indonesia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Terrorists kidnapped his boss so it is up to Fred Dryer to rescue him. Excellent action sequences as this one is directed by Terry Leonard (stunt co-ordinator in many action movies). The lovely Joanna Pacula co-star as a journalist. After the Sep 11 event, watching movie about heroes kicking terrorists is a nice relief. It is great to see this B title appear on DVD. The picture and sound is quite nice. Worth getting it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie, November 24, 2001

By	"namzeke" (AUSTRALIA MATE) - See all my reviews

I enjoyed this movie very much. the acting was strong and to the point at all times. The scene where SGT Ramirez is tortured and killed looks so damn real, i mean the make-up job is fantastic. This is really a great movie and i recommend it to anybody who likes a good action flick. Also a great score aswell

3.0 out of 5 stars Where have I seen this all before... and after?, July 9, 2004

This review is from: Death Before Dishonor [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Ah, nothin' like an 80s-era U.S.-military-kickin'-some-Mid-East-Terrorist-butt actioner brimful of patriotic symbolism set to a military-marching-band-fanfare soundtrack to keep me entertained for an hour and a half. Ya got Fred Dryer leadin' the way as a cross between Clint Eastwood's `Gunny' Highway from `Heartbreak Ridge' and Rambo-- though a lot closer to the former than the latter, and not quite having the acting ability of either. Then there's the whole hero-and-a-few-allies-storming-the-compound-where-the-hero's-C.O.-is-being-held-hostage bit that makes up the climax, and would be seen again & done a little better in `The Delta Force' and `Rambo III'. And if that wasn't enough, there's the usual array of implausible and gravity-defying action scenes. Like for example the chase scene that culminates in a manner that is fleetingly reminiscent of the almost-as-silly climactic tank-vs-doom-chopper showdown in `Rambo III'. Or the hero and his troops sneaking into the terrorist compound on an open desert where there is almost no cover to be seen... in broad daylight!

On the upside, they made a token effort to ground the movie in reality, if only remotely so. A couple of the good guys do get killed, though not quite as many as the bad guys. Then there's the `blood-pinning' initiation ceremony for a couple new Marines that would become a real-life scandal in the press over a decade later. Also of note is the suicide car-bombing of the U.S. Embassy scene, reflecting the kinds of terrorist bombings goin' `round in the Middle East at the time, and are still happening to this day. Speakin' of the embassy-bombing scene: this is one of the few flicks where a character played by the late Paul Winfield (he's the U.S. ambassador here) actually survives all the way through the film! Talk about breaking character, hmm? Heh...

Anyhoo, if you're into such 1980s kick-@$$ actioners as `The Delta Force' or the `Rambo' trilogy, `Death Before Dishonor' is worth at least a rental-- if only to see Fred Dryer play a role other than 'Hunter'...
