  • Awesome Music: The opening credits. Give it a listen.
  • Complete Monster:
    • Original film: Colonel Johann Nash, leader of a white supremacist terrorist group, launches an attack on a UN Biochemical Research Facility to obtain samples of a newly-discovered viral strain, personally gunning down dozens of unarmed scientists and research personnel to Leave No Survivors and intending to use the virus to unleash a global epidemic for cleansing the world in his own image. After Major Tipton disables his transport, Nash hijacks a train station, having his men slaughter civilians en masse while taking the occupants of the train hostage, and later has an entire village captured to lure the Delta Force into a trap, intending to have villagers and Delta Force members massacred to cover his tracks. After the viral strain had leaked out and the only sample of the antidote is in Nash's possession, Nash intends to send his infected henchmen to cities worldwide, to spread the virus to as many countries as he can.
    • Random Fire (5th film): Jafari Bin Kasim is the leader of a terrorist organization who had developed Mind Control technology, which he uses on captured Delta Force operatives, brainwashing them into becoming suicide bombers, forcing them to commit terrorist attacks on his behalf. Introduced sending a brainwashed Delta Force member to suicide bomb a train carrying a diplomat and his family, killing everyone aboard, Jafari had his men capture a village, and subsequently blow it up when Delta Force members tries to resolve the hostage situation, before abducting several members, one of whom he sends to commit another suicide bombing on the Boston Financial Center killing everyone inside. When Captain Skip and his team managed to infiltrate his hideout, Jafari reveals he already had Skip brainwashed and forces Skip to blow up himself with most of his team, and later captures Delta Force Operative Robert Johnson, and puts him through Mind Rape while forcing protagonist Brad Kennedy to watch.
  • First Installment Wins: To the point that most fans aren't even aware of the sequels' existence...
  • Sequelitis: Granted, the first movie isn't a classic by any means, but it at least have a coherent plot, above-average (and nearly non-stop) action sequences, and the solid performance of Ernie Hudson, Joe Lara and Jeff Fahey. The sequels on the other hand are mostly forgotten by today.
