Rating: Summary: The inevitable squel Review: With the success of THe Delta Force, it was inevitable that there wouldn't be a sequel. THough it did take four years, the sequel did finally arrive. Basically Delta Force 2 is your average Norris actionier. If you liked is other action films of the 80's,, then you will definitely like this one too. Basically the only connection this has to the original Delta Force is that Norris plays the character Scott McCoy, otherwise there is none. I don't even recall the term Delta Force even being used in the film other than the title itself. THough Norris was the star fo the frist film, it was about the Delta Force "team" going in and talking on terrorists. THis film is basically about a one man army going down to Columbia to take downa a druglord. If you changed Norris's name to Braddock, you could title this film Missing In Action 4; that's how little of a connection it has to the first Delta Force. THough there is little connection, fans will enjoy. Billy Drago actually gives a decent performance as the head baddie in this little B-movie effort. Also we get another cheese performance by John P. Ryan, a veteran of Cannon films including Death Wish 4 and Runaway Train. In conclusion, Delta Force 2 is your average Norris actionier. Not as good as Missing In Action or The Delta Force, but better than Firewalker and Hellbound. TRIVIA: The original VHS release by Media Home Video had the title DELTA FORCE 2: OPERATION STRANGLEHOLD printed on teh box art but the film itself only portrayed the title DELTA FORCE 2. The newer DVD release has the title DELTA FORCE 2 on the box but the film itself portrays the title DELTA FORCE 2: THE COLUMBIAN CONNECTION, which is also the title used when shown on various cable channels.
