    His late seventies movies like Octagon, Lonewolf Mcquade, force of one and of course Delta Force are all cult classic action movies.

    Delta Force is a good movie within the action genre.

    I grew up watching action films in the 80s and 90s. I always like Chuck Norris ones as they had a humour and ridiclousness about them

    Films like Missing in Action ,or delta force where the motorbike fires a rocket were just great at the time

    I get he had some funny views later in life - but the films were a laugh at the time

    Novalogic used this technique for terrain rendering for quite a while, my favorite is the first episode of Delta Force. It looks like Comanche 4 and the original Black Hawk Down did away with this method and switched to a polygonal engine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comanche_4#Reception
