Scene of the Week: Freefalling

Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection does not have a lot of the elements that made the 1986 original a beloved Cannon Classic. There is no Lee Marvin, there is no Steve James. The fantastic score composed by Alan Silvestri is nowhere to be found. But Delta Force 2 still has the most important element… Chuck Norris and this time he can fly!?!?

One of the more memorable scenes in Delta Force 2 finds drug kingpin Ramon Cota (Billy Drago, Death Ring) being shoved out of a plane by Col. Scott McCoy (Chuck Norris, Invasion USA). Then McCoy jumps after him (he wisely does so while wearing a parachute) and that’s when we get to see McCoy seemingly in flight as he catches Cota mid-air, much to the entertainment and frustration of General Taylor (John P. Ryan, Death Wish 4: The Crackdown) who is watching the scene unfold, just like you can in this week’s Scene of the Week…
