Wissenswertes

Deadly Heroes is a 1993 Israeli–Canadian-American action film directed by Menahem Golan, starring Michael Paré, Jan-Michael Vincent and Billy Drago. Paré stars as a former Navy SEAL trying to rescue his wife from a terrorist group who fled with her to North Africa after he attempted to thwart their attack on a Greek airport. Available date listings suggest that Deadly Heroes was the last 21st Century Film Corporation production released during the company's existence, although Crime and Punishment was belatedly released in 2002 by another entity.

Production

Filming was initially announced for May 1995, and principal photography eventually took place between June 6 and July 9, 1993. The film was primarily shot in the Tel Aviv region, with Ben Gurion Airport representing Athens Airport. Due to the site's sensitive nature, the shotlist had to be modified to omit certain background locations, which could have revealed the position of military forces protecting it.

Michael Paré enjoyed the shoot and the opportunity to work with Jan Michael Vincent, whom he had grown up watching, and who, despite his reputation for alcoholism, was on his best behavior on that occasion. Billy Drago admitted to finding his character virtually indistinguishable from the ones he had previously portrayed in Delta Force 2 and Death Ring, adding that he played them as one and the same in his mind.
