Deadly Heroes

Deadly Heroes is a direct-to-video 1993 action film starring Michael Paré, Jan-Michael Vincent and Billy Drago. Its leading hero Brad Cartowski (Paré) is a former Navy SEAL who must save his kidnapped wife. Directed by Menahem Golan, Deadly Heroes is notable for being one of the last films released under Golan's 21st Century Film Corporation banner. The company went bankrupt shortly thereafter.

The filming obviously occurred on a small budget. The film's primary filming location was in Israel. To cut costs director Golan used many of the chase scenes from his 1991 release Killing Streets (also starring Paré). The film has a similar feel to Golan's earlier and more successful film The Delta Force (1986).

Deadly Heroes received mixed to mostly negative reviews, criticized for its sexism and apparent similarities to The Delta Force. Paré and Vincent's performances were also largely panned. The film was later featured in an episode of Cinema Insomnia.[1]
