Cheapo DVD Review: Operation Delta Force IV - Deep Fault (1999)

Day 4 of the 12 DVD, 12 Reviews challenge I set for myself and we come to the film I had the lowest expectations for. Yesterday I reviewed a DVD that cost me 25p. This one cost less than that.  

 A bad man nicks some plutonium. Some Americans try to get it back before he can carry out his dastardly plan of triggering an earthquake and dropping California into the Pacific. 

Hang on..did they just nick a plot from Superman: The Movie?

Also: Operation Delta Force  makes no sense. Delta Force Operation (whatever) would make sense but the other way around is just silly.  I suppose they wanted to get Delta Force into the title somewhere, in the hopes that people might think there's a legitimate connection to the Chuck Norris action classic.

Which there isn't.

 This is a DVD that was quite obviously part of  a 4-for-1 "Action Classic" multipack of the sort you buy from a service station, but only ever buy once because they are invariably 4 films that nobody would ever spend money on otherwise.

 The entertainment value you get from "Deep Fault"  depends entirely on your tolerance for low budget, generic action movies where American military cliches save the world from sneering bad guys and mooks who can't shoot for shit.

  I did enjoy the sequence where our heroes are having a gunfight from on top of an overturned tram that's still unaccountably sliding down the road (probably for all the wrong reasons) and if you want your films to have lots of automatic weapons fire and explosions "Deep Fault" might be an ok way to spend an evening.

How much did I pay for this: 10p. Wow.
Was it worth it: At that price , yes. "Deep Fault" is a generic action movie with cardboard characters and an overwrought climax. But if you liked the kind of film "Hot Shots" was taking the piss out of and you think firing machine guns while ziplining is cool, you may possibly like this.

Here's the trailer:
