    Storyline

    • Trivia
      When Chuck Norris was offered the lead role of the film, he was in the process of establishing a new kick-boxing league in Los Angeles with Benny Urquidez. Norris cites his decision to pursue the movie over the league as a defining point in his transition from martial arts competition to acting.
    • Goofs
      Norris drives down a ski resort hill which leads to forest. The forest then turns into a desert and then later on the environment turns into a rainforest.
    • Quotes

      Booker: And so as history slowly places it into some kind of perspective, a few things about the Vietnam War have become clear. It was a war that never should have begun, and a country we never should have entered. And as thousands of victims died without really understanding why. Mainly because the reasons for the war were beyond any rules of logic. On Wednesday we'll sing patriotic songs and pretend I said none of the above.

    • Alternate versions
      UK cinema and video versions were cut by 7 secs by the BBFC to remove an ear clap and a shot of a guard being killed with a throwing star.

    not a bad movie
    its not that bad of a movie, i dont know why everyone is knocking it on here. its a stereotypical chuck norris film where he kicks a bunch of guys asses, although i would have liked to see more fighting. its worth renting if you are bored, but it can wait
