James Glickenhaus — Suicide Cult, The Exterminator, The Soldier, The Protector — brings us this story of Bobby McBain, a soldier who brings together his old buddies to battle a Colombian dictator.

Christopher Walken plays McBain, which has nothing to do with The Simpsons except that this movie and that show got into legal wrangling which led to the cartoon calling McBain by his real name, Rainier Wolfcastle.

Besides a role for a young Luis Guzmán and an appearance by MTV VJ Karen “Duff” Duffy in a crack den, this movie also has Michael Ironsides, Steve James from The Delta Force and American Ninja (amongst so many other incredible movies) and María Conchita Alonso. It’s kind of mindblowing to see a star the level of Walken in a movie with Ironsides and James. It kind of also makes me deliriously happy.

Santos (Chick Vennera) attempts to lead a people’s revolt in Colombia, but he fails and is executed. The people’s revolution won’t stop, so his sister Christina (María Conchita Alonso) travels the whole way to New York to find McBain (Christopher Walken). Once, back in Nam, her brother rescued McBain. Now, she wants him to get her some revenge. How do you do that? Well, get together some old war buddies, kill some drug dealers, take their cash and then kill the President of Columbia (Victor Argo).

Originally titled McBain’s War and McBain’s Seven, you can dazzle your friends by telling that everything in Colombia is actually the Phillippines.

McBain is now available on blu ray from Synapse. It comes with audio commentary from director James Glickenhaus and film historian Chris Poggiali, the original theatrical trailer and an all-new remixed 5.1 surround sound created specifically for this release. The original 2.0 theatrical stereo mix is also included. You can get it from MVD.
