Strike Commando

Rated "M" for Manly

A 1987 action film starring Reb Brown.

In it he plays Michael Ransom, one of the eponymous strike commandos sent into Vietnam to blow up a base. While the mission is successful, Ransom's teammates are killed and he is knocked unconscious into a river. He comes to at a village where the people have saved him and nursed him back to health, eventually befriending them. In return he guides them to safety before eventually being picked up by his unit. He's soon sent back to uncover if any Russian soldiers are snooping around the area, sadly coming across the village that saved him, now slaughtered by said Russians. Say the least, It's Personal and major ass kicking ensues.

A cheese fest of any other, but an incredibly enjoyable one and often considered one of Reb Brown's best work by his fans.

Gained a sequel, but it didn't star Reb.
