Lorenzo Lamas is a name that most action film aficionados instantly recognize. When the action boom of the 1980’s has since subsided and most of the best action films have been relegated to direct to video. Lamas who in the early part of his career achieved fame via the films Grease and later would go on too achieve prime time stardom in the late night soap opera Falcon Crest. In 1989 he would make his first official foray into the world of action cinema with the film Snake Eater and since making this film he has go on to become one of the few remaining action stars who continue to churn out product on a regular basis over the last seventeen years including his hugely successful television series Renegade which ran for five seasons. These three Snake Eater films are a precursor to what was just to come from Lorenzo Lamas as an actor and his next project Renegade would make him an international star.

Like many trilogies the first film is best and subsequent films in the series try to recapture the magic of the first one. While it is true that the first Snake Eater film is the best of the three. The other two are unique in their own right since they diverge if ever so slightly from the first film, but not so much as to lose focus on what makes these films and the Soldier character so much fun. Also these films are best watched in chronological order especially since the first film gives us all the background we need to known about why solider does what he does and the other two films barely retouch his past.
