Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection (1990)

Ramon Cota might be in the top 10 of bad guys covered on the show.

The western world is who chopped up the African continent for resource extraction, mostly american, Canadian, and Western European firms. What china is doing to extract rare earth minerals is 1/500th as destructive as crude oil mining conducted by US firms

Happy for the ABZ to do a full year of Redux editions of their earlier pods/movies. I come for the movie, stay for the stories. Love ya work

Isn’t it Moonraker that has an epic parachute scene? One of those Roger Moore Bond’s does and I remember it being pretty awesome.

Hell yeah

Rodgers pronounced “fracas” as FRICK-iss. Have I been saying that wrong my whole life?

My kids go to Trumbull High School. Home of the Golden Eagles. 🦅 😂

I'm a complete ABZ sicko. If you guys re-did most of your catalogue I'd be fine with that. All that being said, the Van Damme impressions always kill me so any JCVD re-visit would be welcome.

Apparently the 80s were the most dangerous time to be sitting in a helicopter for a movie "The ’80s were by far the deadliest decade for helicopter crashes on movie sets, accounting for all but five of the 31 helicopter-related film and TV production fatalities in the last 34 years." Even more so when it was a cannon movie "Altogether, the 10 people killed in helicopter crashes on three different Cannon films over the course of four years accounted for nearly one-third of all helicopter-related movie deaths over the last 34 years — and nearly half the helicopter deaths on U.S. productions during that same stretch. Cannon went out of business in 1993." https://deadline.com/2014/04/helicopter-crash-deaths-hollywood-safety-history-709487/

Cheers to Mark Margolis who plays General Olmedo in this movie and was also Hector Salamanca in Breaking Bad. Fuck hiring actual Latino people to play Latinos.

I could not stop laughing when Chuck ruins his men for training. Handing out concussions or destroying knees with some real prowrestling leg locks.

Great movie. Learned a lot

So a static line jump is supposed to be 1200 ft AGL. Thats jump school-in training we always jumped 800 ft AGL. Freefall would have to be higher. Theres Low Opening jumps but they always come from mid to high altitude

Love this ep. With the death of the hulkster would love a tribute episode on assault on devils island.

I think I’ve liked pretty much every movie I’ve watched for this pod but this was kind of a snoozer

Jumped ahead a bit and just finished “The Dogs of War.” The juxtaposition of these two movies is insane. The DOW’s brisk storytelling, acting, cinematography, score, production design in general make it hard to believe that these two movies were made on the same planet. What a difference talent and care make.

Krycheck been MIA with collages since Eye of the Tiger?

It is your human obligation to watch the latest episode of South Park today-To-day! 🫵 🫡

hell yeah

“A FORCE OF NATURE® There’s no other way to describe water that erupts from the ground with such clarity and smoothness. From a sustainable source deep underneath Chuck Norris’ Lone Wolf Ranch, we add nothing and take nothing away. It is 23,000 year-old Ice Age water.” https://www.cforce.com

A Bridge Too Far has an epic parachute scene. Not exactly in the DF2, Point Break, Terminal Velocity style but definitely a parachuting scene with a lot of thought and care put in. A fuck ton of actual people jumping from a shitload of planes. Came out in 77

One knows they are years deep into AB listening when “I was chippin’!” is an immediately recognizable reference.

helicopters are the chimps of the sky in terms of on set safety

been listening to Doughboys from the start and they joke about Trump being president, 9 years later the president is a fucking pedophile getting the government to pay for vacations on his own golf course while he whines about windmills killing whales

This podcast turned me onto Chuck Norris movies during the covid lockdowns for which I am grateful. I dismissed Norris during the 80's because it was a golden age of big budget action movies with a-list stars. Norris seemed too old by comparison and his movies seemed too cheap. The naffness of Walker: Texas Ranger didn't help improve my impression of him. But I had blast catching up on his work. That said, this movie was mostly a disappointment. It's two hour runtime dragged badly and b-movies should ideally have a lean runtime. Chuck's movies went downhill when he started to work exclusively with his brother Aaron, that dude is the wrong type of nepo baby. But all credit to great John P. Ryan, that actor could devour the scenery and then floss his teeth with it afterwards. It's also funny that he still comes across as unhinged onscreen even when he was cast as a "good" guy.

Question: Are you being paid money not to cover Cubic (2002). Most ActionBoyz movie ever. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0238380/?ref_=ext_shr
