This would never get made today.
As a product of the eighties (I had the misfortune to be born at the very beginning of them), I grew up on movies like this.

One has to wonder what went wrong. In the late sixties and seventies, America was putting out some of the best movies in the world. The reason for this, in my opinion, is that Americans (as a people) were suddenly not afraid of having faults. Vietnam and Nixon made America realise that it had a dark side, and this came through in its cinema. The results were some of the most palpable incarnations of the anti-hero ever put to film.

Alas, in the eighties, something changed. Suddenly, American heroes were not only invincible, but ethically flawless and totally righteous too. ‘The Delta Force’ is one of the pinnacles of the American hero movie.

In a nutshell, some evil Arab types take a plane full of innocent Jewish Americans and it’s up to Chuck Norris and his crew of bad-ass GIs (all of whom sh*t stars and bleeds stripes, of course)to save the day. Watching it in the ultra-liberal, post-911 21st century, it’s hard to believe this film even got made. It’s so un-PC that it make Bill Hicks look like Porky Pig.

But here’s the catch, it’s so damn refreshing to see a piece of action cinema that serves no purpose but to entertain that ‘The Delta Force’ becomes a beautifully nostalgic piece of escapism that is hard to resist.

It is certainly a flawed film. The editor and director could sure have used a few lessons in pacing, notably around the totally extraneous character development scenes where we have it reinforced beyond any doubt that Jewish Americans are beyond reproach. However, one is more than willing to forgive this insult when presented with such testosterone-infested action sequences and cocksure pro-Americanism. It’s one of those films that is so bad it’s good.

‘The Delta Force’ is a movie that necessitates the disengagement of the brain and the full attention of the balls. If you have the capacity to do this, and overlook the fact that it is a disgraceful tool of American propaganda, you’ll love it. I can just imagine this being George Bush’s favourite movie…

Chuck Norris is, in many ways, the ultimate American hero; ruthless but virtuous, kind hearted yet bad-as-hell, the underdog yet the victor. After saving American soldiers from those nasty far-Easterners in the ‘Missing in Action’ series, Chuckie truly outdoes himself here. Taken with a large pinch of salt, or as a very shrewd satire (a la ‘Team America’), ‘The Delta Force’ delivers in ways Bruckheimer and can only dream of.

“I spent five years in Vietnam watching them do the planning…and us the dying.”
Here we have Cannon’s masterpiece, directed by Menaham Golan himself. A combination ’70s disaster movie and ’80s actioner. A group of Lebanese terrorists, led by Robert Forster (!), hijack an airliner and demand to be taken to Beirut. Little do the terrorists know an elite squad of commandos known as Delta Force are on the job, led by Lee Marvin (in his final film) and Chuck Norris (with a rocket bike that is the stuff of movie legend).

Great supporting cast of familiar faces. A “Love Boat” cast, if you will. Despite Norris being the star, the movie doesn’t really become a full-on action flick until the last 1/4. The first 3/4 is more like a dramatic disaster type movie, like the Airport films. But it actually works to the movie’s favor in the long run because it allows the tension to build so that when the Delta Force start kicking terrorist ass, it’s much more rewarding. There are some unintentionally hilarious moments, of course, since this is a Cannon film. Such as the stewardess distraught over being asked by the hijackers to single out the Jews (“No, not me! Don’t you see? I’m German!!!!”) or George Kennedy’s classic “I’m Jewish just like Jesus Christ.” But these elements only add to the enjoyment, as any fan of Cannon’s films can attest.

As for the elephant in the room, let’s tackle that head-on. You won’t see a movie like this made again today in the same way. If the terrorists in an action movie today were actually allowed to be of Middle Eastern origin (unlikely), there would have to be a qualifier of some kind. Like there would have to be a white American traitor working with them or there would have to be a “good” Muslim/Arab character to remind all us dumb American hicks that they’re not all bad. And, of course, there would have to be some not-so-subtle propaganda in there as well to suggest that America or Israel deserved whatever they were getting.

Throughout the ’80s, Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus ran Cannon Films. They were responsible for what I would consider the last great hurrah for quality B movies. Most of their output were action movies, from ninja films to Charles Bronson and Chuck Norris shoot ’em ups. They also did comedies, sci-fi, horror, and even some dramas. Most of their movies were watchable, some were even good. Yes, some were terrible but a lot of those have a so-bad-it’s-good quality about them today. Out of all the movies Cannon put out, to me Delta Force is their best overall production.
