Strike Commando (1987 90 minutes)

Strike Commando is an Ass Kicker. Your whole damn army couldn't beat him. Probably the only ones who would stand a chance would be those 2 guys from that Contra game for the old NES. He's on a mission to blow a bunch of stuff up when the colonel leaves him for dead, luckily he gets rescued by some rebels and Father Le Due and nursed back to health. He finds evidence of the Dirty Russians getting involved in this war and makes it back to HQ. Of course the stupid colonel wants more proof and sends him back into the bush where  he finds that the rebels have all been massacred by that evil bastard Jakota, the Russian leader. In the world's most touching scene, he gives a dying boy the Disneyland speech, with it's popcorn trees, cotton candy, rivers of ice cream, and a Magic Genie at the end just waiting to grant your wishes. He loses it after this and his blind rage makes him get captured by the Russians. Jakota likes to taunt him by doing pushups in the hot sun (to show off his muscles) while we get a nice long torture montage. Jakota  also has a compulsion to say the word 'Amerikanski', especially in slow motion while falling off a cliff.  Fortunately for us, no army can control the force that is Strike Commando, and the best part is that just when you think it's over, it ain't over because there's always one more score to settle. Soon enough, you too will be screaming 'Ja-Ko-Ta!' whenever your heart yearns for vengeance.
