Standout Aspects

Acting

John Matuszak (Sloth from Goonies!) plays a soldier named Kowalski.

Production

Shot in three weeks on a budget that wouldn't cover catering today.

Best for:Friends: Irony-fueled group watch with drinks and a bingo card.·Background: Perfect for folding laundry while half-watching explosions.
Heads up:Violence: TV-movie shootouts with comically bloodless deaths.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Wings Hauser was so committed to this role that he performed most of his own stunts, including a questionable rappelling scene.

Cultural

This aired on ABC in 1985 as a backdoor pilot that mercifully never became a series, joining the graveyard of failed 'A-Team' knockoffs.
