Death Raiders (1984)

This Philippine action film starts off (as these bottom of the barrel films usually do) with a guns-blazing, explosion-laden extravaganza. I'm not really sure what's going on but I think we are supposed to be witnessing a jungle rebel group at their violent best. Soon afterwards, this revolutionary force kidnap the governor of some region during his daughter's birthday party. The young adult daughters are also held hostage by the renegades. The army decides to re-form the "Death Raiders" commando team to rescue the Governor and his girls. We are introduced to each of the team members as they show off their skills of martial arts and cunning battle strategy. And while they are gearing up for the mission, there are those within the guerrilla camp that also have plans to save the hostages. Looks like the captives really don't have anything to worry about.
