#1986 SOLDIER OF FORTUNE MAGAZINE MOVIE#

'Boom-Boom' Donovan is a big Teddy Bear who gets great satisfaction tossing explosive oranges at the enemy combatants. The tough talking and tougher fighting Brown pulls out all the stops to up-stage Wings Houser. The Colonel is priceless as he parody himself as he was when he was active military. The two of them come off as 'Solider's For Hire' with a love for killing commies in the jungles of Africa. The ditty that 'Boom-Boom' sings as he and Brown make improvised explosive devices is a memorable tune. This is truly a collector video - Brown's and Donovan's performance is over the top. Brown and 'Boom-Boom' John Donovan appeared.

The only movie where Soldier of Fortune Magazine's very own Col. Give Striker a sequel! For more insanity, please visit: 'Hostage' is an interesting, albeit silly flick, and the presence of Wings Hauser as Striker livens up any scene he's in.

The casting of Karen Black recalls 'Airport 1975' (1974), Her character Laura Lawrence's sister died in a plane crash, and one of Striker's associates is continually throwing paper airplanes. There is an airplane theme throughout the film. Shaw even says the line: 'Unfortunately, you can't deny an A-rab a seat on a plane.' Because this is now so Un-P.C., it makes for great viewing that shall never be repeated, but sadly may be preventing a much-needed DVD release. It has middle eastern terrorists hijacking a plane, a character named 'Hussein' and Col. 'Hostage' is more relevant today than ever. One baddie resembles Tonny Tulleners of Scorpion (1986) fame, which is ironic because Tonny also stopped terrorists on a plane. As for the terrorists, they say the name 'Zabruto' a minimum of eleven times. Before you can quote the ten-year-old Tommy and ask in a high-pitched child's voice, 'Where's Striker?', Striker unleashes his fury which includes: climbing a wall for at least 25 minutes, hang-gliding under a helicopter, and being a pioneer in the newly developed fighting art 'Grapefruit Weaponry' (you have to see it to believe it). It looks like it's 'Vietnam all over again' as the specially trained Striker and his team of real American grunts do whatever it takes to get Tommy and Nicole back and the rest of the passengers to safety. This guy is as crazy as the terrorists and his name is as awesome as his black beret.

But there is one thing this terrorist scum didn't count on: Major Striker (Hauser). They land the plane and hold everyone hostage until they get their money and safe release of their leader Zabruto from prison. Unfortunately, the plane is hijacked by the Holy Freedom Party Of Allah, a terrorist group. When Tommy experiences some sort of kidney failure, he and a bunch of other characters such as a nun and a bickering old couple board a plane headed back to the U.S. Meanwhile, actress Laura Lawrence (Black) and her agent are in the same part of Africa. Shaw (McCarthy) is an important politician who brought his daughter Nicole and grandson Tommy there. Starting with some AM soft rock, we see a family from New York that has moved somewhere near Nairobi, Africa.
