The Commander (1988)

The Commander (original German title Der Commander, original Italian title Il triangolo della paura) is a 1988 German-Italian film, directed by Antonio Margheriti (credited as Anthony M. Dawson) and starring Lewis Collins, Lee Van Cleef and Donald Pleasence. "Major" Jack Colby (Collins) is sent to Bangkok to form a group of mercenaries. They are ordered to deal with the warlord General Dong, who drives up drug prices in the "Golden Triangle". But Colby is double crossed by his sponsors.
