After a home invasion leaves Joseph Lawrence (Jeff Risk) paralyzed from the waist down and his wife sexually assaulted and dead, he reaches out to Larry (Jean Glaudé) to bring together their old army team, the Kill Squad: Tommy (Gary Fung), Arthur (Marc Sabin), K.C. (Jerry Johnson), Pete (Francisco Ramírez) and Alan (Bill Cambra). Once, they were prisoners of war, and Joseph earned their undying devotion by distracting the Vietcong by, well, standing on a landmine.

The man behind the attack is Dutch (Cameron Mitchell), but as the team tracks him down, a sniper keeps killing them as if this were a slasher movie and not a revengeomatic. Finally, Larry tracks down Dutch, who dies by accident, which is the very definition of anticlimactic.

It would be, except that — no spoilers needed for something you’ll figure out from the beginning of the film — Joseph explains that he resents the squad for the loss of his leg in Vietnam and faked his paralysis. In fact, he’s the one who paid for men to rape and kill his wife, all so he could get he rmoney and then kill the squad who left him behind.

Then Larry kicks Jeff right into an axe.

You really need to see the intros for each squad member. Tommy is working as a gardener and when that guy refuses to pay him and calls him a slur, he destroys the man in front of a pool party. K.C. is now a pimp with two girls, Salt and Pepper and no, not the rap trio. Pete is a mechanic. Alan is a bad businessman who is just about to lose everything as he does research on bugs, but mainly has sex with all the women in the office. Then, they do fancy weapon katas to show Joseph that they still got it.

Director and writer Patrick G. Donahue also made They Call Me Macho Woman!, Parole Violators, Ground Rules (a modern movie that nevertheless has a post-apocalyptic motorcycle game; this stars Frank Stallone and Richard Lynch and why haven’t I watched this?) and as G. Padon made the adult film Passion Prcession and the poster for that film is in this movie.

The best part? Or worse? The three Vietncong characters are in the credits as Vietnam Dude,” “Another Vietname Dude” and “Yet Another Vietnam Dude.” 

Also known as Patrick G. Donahue’s Kill Squad, because of course it should be.
