Review from the Video Junkie catalogue:

Super violent and bloody Filipino actioner with great cheesy moments, a Vic Diaz cameo and did I mention bloody? Sheesh! Nobody dies a clean death here! Certain provinces have taken a strong dislike to the military and are pushing to break away from the government. To do this, they decide to send squads of guerrillas called “sparrow units” into Malta to kill every cop and military guy they can get in their gunsights! After the papers start taking note of the massacres, the military decides that it’s kill or be killed and the body count starts piling up. Brainless, violent cheese at it’s finest.

Review from the Vomit Bag Video catalogue:

Very violent, action-packed 1988 Phillipine war-action flick, with the same stars and director of BODYGUARD, Ramon BONG Revilla, Jr.! A group of savage terrorists hold a busload of schoolkids and teachers hostage in the jungle, and it's up to the hero to break in and save the remaining survivors before they're all killed. Some real BLOODY head shots, stabbings, machine-gun massacres, nudity, rape, etc. Definitely COOL! Even the KIDS pick up machine guns and start blasting away!
