Stoked for this release! Has a monster car chase, one of the longest and most insane I've ever seen.

Might have to check this one out.

This one could be a fun watch might have to get this one.

Wow, this one has somehow eluded me all these years.

Want this badly!

My first writing screen credit (for story)... of course how that happened is the REAL story for me. Director Peter Maris was a good guy, I'm looking forward(ish) to seeing this spruced up and on blu-ray at last...

Terror Squad (1988)
• Brand New 2K Master
• NEW Interview with Actor Kavi Raz
• Theatrical Trailer
• Optional English Subtitles

Color 92 Minutes 1.85:1 Not Rated
The city of Kokomo, Indiana, becomes the battleground for an international conflict when a failed attempt to destroy a nuclear power plant sends three terrorists on a rampage of destruction. Tension mounts as the terrorists bargain for their escape by taking six Kokomo High School students and their teacher hostage. It’s up to Police Chief Rawlings (the great Chuck Connors, TV’s The Rifleman, High Desert Kill) to negotiate the safe release of the hostages and bring the villains to justice. Terror Squad delivers full-throttle excitement and gripping drama, featuring Brodie Greer (TV’s CHiPs), Bill Calvert (C.H.U.D. II), Kavi Raz (TV’s St. Elsewhere) and Ken Foree (Dawn of the Dead).

"Borderline ridiculously long car chase"
"A pile of moronic, low grade trash"
“Technically inept, ludicrously acted and scented badly"

Those memorable phrases must go on the back cover of the BD, especially the third!

Movie looks awesome even though the trailer isn't very well put together.

I like Chuck Connors, even though he put out a lot of crappy movies in his twilight years. And the cover and synopsis had me interested, since I don't remember ever seeing this. But, the trailer just convinced me I don't want to see this one. Looks like it's a really bad movie. Super cheaply choreographed car chases, explosions, and shooting scenes that look extremely laughable. When I watch an action movie, I'm not particularly in the mood for seriously bad acting and super low budget lack of special effects. I'll pass on this loser.

Sounds like something Vinegar Syndrome would hype as a secret Black Friday title

The back cover? It deserves to be put on the front cover:
