Trivia

Effects footage involving the theft of the anthrax and destruction of the building was taken directly from Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).

Goofs

In the scene where the terrorists steal the anthrax, every external scene has been lifted directly from Terminator 2: Judgment Day, including the name of the complex (Cyberdyne). It is particularly obvious in the scene where the terrorists drive away in the SWAT van, which cuts to a damaged van with a very husky Arnold Schwarzenegger look-alike driving past police.

Connections

Edited from Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection (1990)

User Reviews

Gave up after 30 minutes

I stopped watching this film after the first 30 minutes, in part because I couldn't believe the barefaced theft of the anthrax-stealing scenes from TERMINATOR 2. How is it that only one other commenter noticed this?

The other killer was the supposedly high-tension scene involving the ATF and the military officers. I haven't seen such a badly played-out display of machiso since LOST IN SPACE.
