History YMMV / StrikeCommando

* Woobie: Martin Boomer, the only survivor from a squad held previously captive by Jakoda's forces, until they were all tortured to death. Martin himself only survived due to succumbing to Jakoda's interrogation methods, and is regularly forced to read anti-American broadcasts. [[spoiler: He finally works up the nerve to refuse cooperating with the Soviets, [[DyingMomentOfAwesome even to the point of being tortured to death]].]]

* NightmareFuel: Ransom being forced to continue sharing his cell with the corpse of [[spoiler:Michael]] after the latter is killed. And bear in mind that according his calendar, this went on for months.

* TearJerker: Despite the above-mentioned narm, Ransom's last moments with both [[spoiler:Lao]] and [[spoiler:Michael]] still manage to pack an emotional punch.

* SoBadItsGood: One of the most famous examples is on a par with ''Film/TheRoom''. Some people even think that the film is so badly fun that it looks like an attempt to create the maximum possible parody of cheap 80s action movies.

* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: Jakoda is so cartoonishly evil that Soviet and Russian audiences simply adored him.

* SnarkBait: Because of very rude plagiarism, cheap special effects and completely insane NarmCharm in any scene occurring on the screen.

* HilariousInHindsight: Ransom claims there's a magic genie at Ride/{{Disneyland}}. Four years after this movie was released, Creator/{{Disney}} would release [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} a movie featuring a genie]].
