A DEA team is massacred as they try to take down drug lord Ramon Cota (Billy Drago) during carnival in Rio de Janeiro after being tipped off by a mole. In San Carlos, South America, DEA recruits outsiders Col. Scott McCoy (Chuck Norris) and Major Bobby Chavez to bring in Cota. They D.B. Cooper out of a plane with Cota. Cota gets $10 million bail. Chavez hits Cota and in return, Cota kills his family. Cota returns to San Carlos under the protection of corrupt general Olmedo. Chavez tries to take revenge and is killed. McCoy leads an expert team to take down Cota.

Billy Drago plays a good villain. He is the only one who is superior in this B-movie. Chuck Norris has never been a good actor. This is no exception. Sadly, he's not the worst. The movie is also too boring. There is not enough action until the second half. While there're lots of explosions, the action is shot in an old 80's fashion. This is strictly B-movie material.

DELTA FORCE 2 was one of the first Chuck Norris movies I ever watched and it's stayed with me: a silly, completely OTT B-movie full of gunfire, explosions and cheap and cheerful special effects work. I recently revisited the movie on DVD, and I was pleased to find it still holds up to this day as one of the star's most simple yet entertaining films.

I still haven't seen the original film, not that that matters: DELTA FORCE 2 is a standalone outing concerning a soldier's battles to take out a Colombian drug lord responsible for the death of his friend. There's nothing more to it than that, and much of the film is clearly modelled on the likes of Schwarzenegger's COMMANDO and Stallone's RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART 2. It's nowhere near as good as either of those, thanks to the lower budget, but it still packs a punch.

Norris is in his element. He's hulking, tough, good looking and a nice guy with it. The type of hero it's easy to root for. He roundhouse kicks the bad guys, jumps through windows, breaks limbs and metes out punishment to both enemy soldiers and the new recruits unlucky enough to be placed under his charge. He also adds in a few quips here and there, which always helps.

Opposite Norris, Billy Drago stars in what is still one of his most memorable roles as an utterly slimy drug baron. Drago is outrageously evil in this film, truly hissable. I won't spoil the ending, but let's just say it's the perfect pay-off for his character. Alongside Norris, we get John P. Ryan (IT'S ALIVE),chewing up the scenery a treat as the flag-waving general. Pretty Begona Plaza is thrown into the mix, just because there aren't any other women around.

What follows is a mix of the usual action/hero type scenes: Chuck scales an impassable cliff, Chuck kills some henchmen, there's a helicopter battle and lots of jeeps being blown up. Plus, of course, the shoot-out in a jungle village, one of those stock scenes that just had to be every jungle action film of the 1980s (the only thing missing is a prison camp complete with guard tower). It's all lively and amusing, even if we had already seen it all before throughout the '80s, so my advice is to kick back and enjoy – without criticising too much!

This movie has very little in common with the first movie, the only real connection between the two is Chuck Norris is in both of them. That and the movie does involve the Delta Force once again. It is also a very unmemorable movie as there are very few scenes in this one that I can recall. While I remember the older movie Delta Force almost entirely and I did not exactly watch that one a whole lot more. One of the few scenes that I even remember is the scene involving the Delta Force doing a sky jump with the drug lord and the fact this film had a bit of a similar plot to the James Bond film "License to Kill", however that film is superior to this one as I can remember a lot about that one too. I do not remember this one being particularly horrible or anything, I just remember it not being as good as the original and that I got a bit bored during this film, another thing that did not occur during the first film. In the end I think it is just one of those sequels that uses the success of the first film to try and market an almost unrelated film. Like this one was supposed to have Chuck in some sort of drug task force, but they thought they could get some more bucks by making it a sequel to the Delta Force movie.
