YMMV / Strike Commando

• Complete Monster: Jakoda, the supposed head of the Soviet forces in Vietnam, intends to kill Mike Ransom slowly and horribly. Jakoda makes it his job, and pleasure, to torture and kill almost everyone he encounters. In his home base, Jakoda subjects all captives to savage torture with Ransom himself suffering painful electrocution. When Jakoda learns a native village has been sheltering Ransom, he leads his troops there and initiates a massacre of men, women and children, slaughtering everyone except a little boy who befriended Ransom, with the boy surviving long enough to die in Ransom's arms. Jakoda spends the rest of the film trying to kill Ransom and will stop at nothing to kill the "Americanski."
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Ransom claims there's a magic genie at Disneyland. Four years after this movie was released, Disney would release a movie featuring a genie.
• Memetic Mutation: The film is so narmy that among the YouTube movie reviewers it has become popular to insert fragments from it into own reviews as a parody of a bad dramatic plays.
• Narm Charm: The attempts at all seriousness has to be seen to be believed. Especially Ransom trying to comfort the dying Vietnamese kid he met before about what Disneyland is like.
• Nightmare Fuel: Ransom being forced to continue sharing his cell with the corpse of Martin Boomer after the latter is killed. And bear in mind that according his calendar, this went on for months.
• So Bad, It's Good: One of the most famous examples is on a par with The Room. Some people even think that the film is so badly fun that it looks like an attempt to create the maximum possible parody of cheap 80s action movies.
• Tear Jerker: Despite the above-mentioned narm, Ransom's last moments with both Lao and Martin still manage to pack an emotional punch.
• The Woobie: Martin Boomer, the only survivor from a squad held previously captive by Jakoda's forces, until they were all tortured to death. Martin himself only survived due to succumbing to Jakoda's interrogation methods, and is regularly forced to read anti-American broadcasts. He finally works up the nerve to refuse cooperating with the Soviets, even to the point of being tortured to death.
