Factual errors: The sulfuric acid is stored in a large open metallic tray of about 300 gallons. If this was concentrated sulfuric acid, it would have reacted with the metal long ago and leaked everywhere.

Major eye rolling

Unlike the extremely dull THE EXPERT, DEADLY OUTBREAK is more action packed and faster paced. Unfortunately, it's also ridiculously unrealistic and borderline cartoonish. The film begins nonchalantly but when the terrorists attack, well, credibility is quickly thrown out of the window. It was too much even for me. The security guards kept running blindly towards the terrorists who killed them on the spot. One after the other. It was like a cartoon or something, or a shooting gallery at an amusement park. Of course, with every security guard out of the way, there's only one man who can stop the terrorists: Jeff Speakman. So what 30 armed security guards couldn't do Jeff does effortlessly. Sure. I have to stop watching these direct to video Jeff Speakman flicks.
