You Gotta Love this FIlm

Okay, I am not blind to the defects of this movie -- Lee Marvin has to be the oldest Colonel in the history of the U.S. Army -- and it is the hijacked American Airlines flight done right (the murder of the Navy diver actually happened). It is a wave the flag whoop-ass film with Chuck beating the crap out of terrorists. Take it on that level and you'll be entertained. Originally Charles Bronson was slated to play the Marvin role. Two Chucks, could the world survive such an event I ask you? Watch it back to back with NAVY SEALS for Islamic terrorists get a beating double bill.

This is an action/war movie originally released in 1986. This DVD contains the original theatrical trailer along with Spanish and French subtitles.
Basically aside from having the iconic Chuck Norris along with Lee Marvin, this movie is thin without much of a story and cookie-cutter characters. The action scenes weren't bad but become repetitious after awhile.
One amusing blooper was towards the end when Lee Marvin picked up the reciever of his cool 80's "porta-phone" and began barking out orders before the reciever even reached his mouth. If you are an action-hound then add another star, otherwise it's just some mindless explosions and not much else.

Loved this movie since I was a kid. Super cheesy, but I still love it, especially the motorcycles with the rockets.

great action movie

I never saw this when it first came out, & it is perhaps more timely now than 20 years ago............
If you like this genre at all, you may as well get the best. At times, it is hard to watch & you want to look away, but unfortunately, that is the reality of what we live through.
In this day & age, even if it is fanciful, it is good to know that these people are on our side!
Chuck Norris at his best, bravo!

One of the best war movies I've ever seen. Gripping and realistic actions. Riveting acting.

It's one of the best war movies I've ever seen. It contains gripping and realistic actions. Chuck Norris and the main bad guy's acting are riveting. It's the best film of Chuck Norris too, I believe.
I've watched it five times over the years. I own it.
Other favorite war movies of mine are Saving Private Ryan, The Longest day, The Lost Battalion, Gods and Generals, Gettysburg, We Were Soldiers, Hamburger Hill.
