The Delta Force (1986)

The opening shot sets the tone perfectly, for good or ill. The scene that follows, wherein special ops member Chuck does what other men won't, reinforces it tenfold: it's 80s action from Canon Films with men and guns.
Much of it takes place on an aeroplane, with an ensemble cast that gets very underused. Chief hijacker Abdul (Robert Forster) is mustachioed and menacing. but he didn't reckon on the Deltas doing their thing. They wear covert black duds with a bright US flag patch on the arm lest the audience forget who they're cheering for. If they get tired walking, they've got bikes that shoot mini-missiles. Abdul and his middle eastern cronies are boned - even if Chuck is perpetually late to the party and Silvestri's music sucks.
