Harry Lags When DEA agents are taken captive by a ruthless South American kingpin, the Delta Force is reunited to rescue them in this sequel to the 1986 film.Almost as long as the first movie, this film retains none of the cast of the first film except for Chuck Norris. It also doesn't focus on the Delta Force team so much as part one.What this movie does offer is more Chuck Norris, more action than part one and more American jingoistic patriotism. They just don't make them like this anymore.Chuck Norris fans have all they could ask for with Delta Force 2. Norris and a dozen US marines fly into the South American drug capital San Carlos, destroy half the country's cocaine production, and rub out the land's untouchable drug czar, in a blaze of exploding missiles and flying fists.Norris is a minimalist actor, rightly concentrating on the action. As the sadistic Coda, Billy Drago has a Medusa-like presence that produces shivers just from looking at him.There are some terrific action scenes, fighting scenes and explosions!Delta Force 2 is yet another awesome Chuck Norris action picture and one that adds to the ass-kicking mystique that he would be legendary for decades later. The Verdict: 9 / 10 - Explosive!

SnoopyStyle A DEA team is massacred as they try to take down drug lord Ramon Cota (Billy Drago) during carnival in Rio de Janeiro after being tipped off by a mole. In San Carlos, South America, DEA recruits outsiders Col. Scott McCoy (Chuck Norris) and Major Bobby Chavez to bring in Cota. They D.B. Cooper out of a plane with Cota. Cota gets $10 million bail. Chavez hits Cota and in return, Cota kills his family. Cota returns to San Carlos under the protection of corrupt general Olmedo. Chavez tries to take revenge and is killed. McCoy leads an expert team to take down Cota.Billy Drago plays a good villain. He is the only one who is superior in this B-movie. Chuck Norris has never been a good actor. This is no exception. Sadly, he's not the worst. The movie is also too boring. There is not enough action until the second half. While there're lots of explosions, the action is shot in an old 80's fashion. This is strictly B-movie material.

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.
