The Delta Force

1/8/2017

Delta Damage! The Delta Force is directed by Menahem Golam and Golam co-writes the screenplay with James Bruner. It stars Chuck Norris, Lee Marvin, Joey Bishop, Robert Forster, George Kennedy, Robert Vaughn and Shelley Winters. Music is by Alan Silvestri and cinematography by David Gurfinkel. Film is a very loose working of the real life TWA Athens hijacking in 1985, done in a pure fantastical Hollywood style. It would prove to be the final movie of hard man actor Lee Marvin who would sadly pass away a year later, unfortunately this didn't prove to be a fitting swansong for him. All the elements were there, a star name cast fronted by one of the 1980s action movie stars and a hot topic story ripe for serious drama and thrills. Sadly the pic doesn't deliver on its promise of something

Lots of stunts in this. Lots of wheelies. Very nice feature of rope on shoulders as an accessory as well as rope with knots in it to get into hard to reach areas. That's the best stunt. It does seem like the wheelies are just for show and not even all that good. My buddy growing up could wheelie about that good. He was really good at wheelies though. The way people act, it's funny to imagine them in the military at times. Those people running in the water do not seem professional let alone elite. It is charming in its earnestness. They really believed in this project. A little long. Oui, oui. Radio Canada.
