![]() In Delta Force's first hour, Norris is barely in it at all, and while in its third act Delta Force becomes an unusually satisfying Chuck Norris bloodbath/celebration of explosions, for its first two acts Delta Force feels more like a late-to-the-game entry in the 1970s disaster boom.ĭelta Force has a cast it would be easy to imagine sharing screen time in a 1970s Irwin Allen disaster extravaganza, goofing around with Glen Campbell or John Davidson on a glitzy variety show or on a 1978 episode of Hollywood Squares. ![]() He's part of an ensemble, and while he eventually becomes the most important part in the film's explosion-laden final act, Delta Force is about as dependent upon Norris' acting chops, or lack thereof as The Towering Inferno was on the basis of supporting player O.J Simpson's gifts as a thespian. The other key to Delta Force being easily the best Chuck Norris movie I’ve seen for this project? Chuck Norris really isn’t in it that much. That’s why they needed goddamn rocket launchers and bazookas and anti-tank weaponry and other gargantuan killing machines favored by men with micro-penises. It says much about the schlock factory’s love of macho excess that for them, machine guns were entirely too milquetoast. Holy shit was Cannon in love with rocket launchers. Golan’s leading man, not surprising, was the lesser of the two Chucks, Chuck Norris, but Delta Force plays to the hirsute denim enthusiast and longtime Mike Huckabee super-fan’s strengths by giving him nothing to do but blow motherfuckers up with his super-motorcycle with front and rear rocket launchers when not kicking baddies or shooting them with machine guns. This time around Golan and his collaborators were inspired by the real-life hijacking of Trans World Airlines Flight 847. ![]() The manly hit finds Golan returning to the fertile ground of fact-based explorations of international terrorism.
