The Delta Force - on Blu-ray, 5th May 2014 on Arrow

17th of April 2014, 17:13

Arrow Video is thrilled to announce the UK Blu-ray release of The Delta Force, the action-packed 1986 Cannon classic, hailed by Roger Ebert as “taut and exciting”, will make its UK Blu-ray debut on 5th May 2014 in a newly restored transfer with a host of brand-new extra features.

The Delta Force starts out like a reality-based docu-drama focussing on the complicated problem of international terrorism, but culminates with cartoon-styled antics of movie heroism, as well as optimistic flights of fancy about the efficacy of American military might in the world’s most difficult region: the Middle East.

Featuring a bumper crop of bonus features such as a newly restored presentation of the feature, transferred from original film elements by MGM, a new documentary, Genre Hijackers in which filmmaker Mark Hartley discusses the explosive legacy of Cannon Films, an interview with long-time Chuck Norris writer-collaborator James Bruner and a new interview with Commandant Christian Prouteau, founder of the French GIGN and instructor of the first Delta Force. Alongside this, the Blu-ray disc will also feature the original theatrical trailer, a reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Graham Humphreys and a collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by author John Kenneth Muir and a contemporary article on Cannon Films, illustrated with original archive stills and posters.

Synopsis

Cannon Films are known for having produced some of the most enjoyable and eccentric action flicks of the ’80s – but The Delta Force, which boasts scenes of Chuck Norris flying through the air on a motorbike mounted with missiles, surely stands as one of their most entertaining efforts.

 

American Travel Ways Flight 282 has been hijacked by a group of terrorists claiming to represent the New World Revolutionary Organisation. The Delta Force, under the leadership of Major Scott McCoy (Chuck Norris), is called in to handle the situation. Still smarting from an ill-fated hostage rescue mission several years prior, this elite squad of special forces is determined to succeed in its mission this time – and assert the might of the American military once and for all.

 

Drawing on a number of true-life terrorist incidents for inspiration, most notably the 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847, The Delta Force is a non-stop thrill ride which culminates in one of the most explosive action flick finales of all time. With Chuck Norris on hand to provide the obligatory muscle and gravelly-voiced Lee Marvin in his last ever screen role, The Delta Force is one mission well worth accepting.
