The Soldier (1982)

At the forefront of “80’s” action films. Better than anything Chuck Norris except maybe Delta Force? The vehicle (limo) ambush is great and the undercover agents are awesome. The silo takeover is hardcore and eye opening. I saw it young and several times, enjoyed it every time. Rent it, hard to find on DVD.

Ken Wahl and his team are outstanding in the fight sequences. Joaquim Almeida has gained popularity lately with “Clear and Present Danger” villain Hector and “Behind Enemy Lines” Admiral Pique, NATO.

Looks like some stuff out of the Anarchists cookbook with the light bulb. I’m sure some dumb kid has tried it at one time or another.
