YMMV / Avenging Force

• Awesome Music: The end credits theme. Which turns up in other Cannon movies as well (Assassination, Number One With A Bullet).
• Complete Monster: In this sequel to Invasion U.S.A. (1985), Professor Elliott Glastenbury is the leader of a white supremacist group called the Pentangle. Glastenbury orders a hit on the African-American politician Larry Richards, best friend of Matt Hunter; this results in the death of some unarmed bystanders, some agents and one of Richards's little sons. Glastenbury shoots one of his men in the stomach after he failed to kill Hunter and Richards and leaves him to die slowly. He leads an assault on Hunter's house, which causes the death of Richards, his wife for being too noisy, Hunter's grandfather and Richards's remaining little son. Intrigued by Hunter's skills, Glastenbury forces Hunter to participate at the Pentangle's hunting game, threatening to kill Hunter's little sister Sarah if he tells anyone. He puts Sarah in a New Orleans brothel where it's implied he intended her to be pimped or sold to the highest bidder. After Hunter rescues Sarah, Glastenbury leads a hunting party, intending to kill them both. After his men are all killed, Glastenbury tries to personally kill Hunter with a garrote.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Going by Glastenbury's New Era Speech, it is rather unfortunate that the ignorant ideals that the Pentangle live by still exist by alt-right extremists today.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Anyone familiar with Steve James's works would find the idea of him taking down an organization of white supremacist quite appealing. Too bad he was used as a plot device for Hunter to go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge spree.
