Things i learned from The Delta Force

This has been such a funny post on so many boards i had to throw in on the Delta force board. I'll start it out with a few quick ones.

1) Chuck norris is able to magically transform heavy steel barrels and beams into lightweight plastic ones in the event of a plane crash.

2) Standard delta force gear includes all black camoflage with WHITE climbing ropes and all black face paint, even if the mission will likely last through the next day.

3) This black camoflage is 100% effective, even when sneaking through city streets and fields of white cotton during the day (note this is probably due to the awesome effects of the white climbing ropes.)

4) Delta force dune buggies and motorcycles can teleport 50 meters from amphibious assault ships to the beach. Unfortunately delta force operators have to walk through the water.

5) Delta force members are so skilled that they don't need to look where they're shooting, or even point the gun in the proper direction. They only have to guess when several terrorists will run around a corner and fire in any direction to score several kill shots.

6) A single delta force member can rig a huge multistory school complex with enough explosives to totally demonlish the whole area in approximately 15 seconds.

7) Arab terrorists are required by law to say "Allah akbar" in every conversation, and once every minute in the event of a long conversation.

8) If a grenade explodes in a narrow corridor 2 feet from several people, only one person will be injured and that injury will only be a small wound to the leg.

9) US Navy personel tied up in a closed enemy truck will instantly know that "those are our guys, that's delta force," upon hearing gunfire.

10) Chuck norris's delta force motorcycle can easily sneak around while the motor is running without making a sound and can then jump through a window (note this may be due to the teleportation technology from #4).

11) The best way to kill a terrorist is to beat him up, break his arm, then move 10 feet away and wait for him to point a gun at you before firing the rear mortars of your motorcycle at him.

12) When you suspect a terrorist is hiding under a bed, instead of simply shooting through the bed or looking under it from a distance, you should walk slowly to the bed and pull the matress back allowing the terrorist a clear shot at you because this shot will be blocked by your bulletproof flashlight attachment. Then you can kill the terrorist with a blast of uzi fire.

13) Non english speaking terrorists can understand english if you simply point a gun at them/force them to put your gun in your mouth while you repeat simple words such as "officer . . . officer . . YOU!!" and "where are the americans . . . AMERICANS!?!" And will then be able to give you a detailed description in english of the location of any remaining hostages.

Those are just a few i thought of off the top of my head. This movie is so deliciously bad i'm sure we can come up with enough to rival the Cobra board.

-Chuck Norris can shoot with sniper precision off the hip using a micro uzi, because he's Chuck Norris.

-When fighting terrorists, it's important to occasionally pause for a moment and give them the patented Chuck Norris look of disdain.

-The best way to fight terrorism is to ride around on a motorcycle that shoots infinitely replenishing rockets, round house kicking terrorists. There should be patriotic sounding Casio piano music playing while you do this.

And, if you got on a plane/ocean liner/train, etc and Shelley Winters or George Kennedy is aboard, get off immediately. Furthermore, unlike the ''Airport'' series, you can round up a bunch of familiar ''Names'', give them each their own individual screen credit, and do absolutely NOTHING with most of them.

103. Be sure to put blue filters over your headlights so you can enjoy UV/glare without all that useful eye easy green yellow red part of the spectrum.

105. Beirut used to have dancing, drinking, and partying. Just ask Joey Bishop.

When your plane is captured by terrorists, its hardly the time to clarify that you're in the US military on leave.

At long last the Catholic Church admits that Jews are exonerated from Jesus' execution since a Catholic minister admits he's Jewish.

A motorcycle is the perfect transportation in a region that's mostly sand.

Murdering terrorists think pregnant women are sweet!

A homicidal torturing killer of innocents with return a stolen ring to its owner to show that, hey!, he ain't ALL bad!

All Delta Force successful missions are brought to you by Budweiser, the King of Beers.

Sometimes a terrorist leader will give a woman her ring back.

When you say "Thank God the women are safe," say it like you mean it.

Never attack the enemy until that song starts playing.

- Fanatical muslim terrorists are OK with a Greek orthodox church next to their compound.
- To avoid a spot light hitting you when sitting in a boat, you just bend forward a little.
- The door of a 1000lb VW van is bulletproof.
- Delta Force won't notice a catering truck bringing in another 12 terrorists.
- Beirut air control has a direct line of communication to three dozen catering trucks, fuel trucks, fire trucks, etc, and they have drilled driving onto and off the runway to perfection.
- Terrorists are really bad at guarding things. You can sneak up on their compound through a sewer, or to their plane through a cotton field.
- In the delta force, your commanding officer does not mind if you ignore orders by running into a burning chopper. Consistently showing up late is fine too.

I know this thread is years old, but I can respond to item 13. Terrorists are like pool balls. The hard you hit them, the better the english.

73. The women are safe. And thank God for that. 

- The equipment most vital to Special Forces are rocket-launching motorcycles, blue headlight filters and slap-on Velcro American flag patches.

- Pink shemaghs were all the rage in 1985.

- Ducking makes you invisible to searchlights.

- You should debrief released passengers for vital intel only AFTER you've greenlighted the assault on the plane.

- If a hostage is killed, he will be left where he fell so the press can take pictures later and put it on the front page of their newspapers.

- Terrorists fantasize about driving explosive trucks into the White House.

- Christian priests are actually Jewish.

- When assaulting a terrorist building, always be wary of the under-the-bed ambush tactic.

- For maximum accuracy, fire one-handed from the hip while hanging on to a moving vehicle.

- Black camouflage works wonders in a cotton field.

83 - No need to worry about terrorists, they won't shoot hostages at all to show they mean business..
84 - Don't worry about attacking terrorists with your group, you'll only lose 1 man out of your whole group.
85 - When a plane full of Delta force people take off, watch the camera man instead of the plane itself take off..!
86 - When asking for information, don't shoot the person or hurt them , they'll eventually talk and give you what you want.
