American filmmakers had this habit: not to shoot remakes, but two (sometimes three) films per plot. And almost at the same time. Just in other locations and with a different set of actors and directors. “Ordered to Destroy” is just such a movie. The fact is that a year before that, a film of the same name with Kurt Russell and Steven Seagal was shot. The story repeats this movie one by one. However, the opposite is true: the film with Dudikov is a copy. What's remarkable about this? Nothing, except that Rick Jacobson’s timekeeping fits in the standard 90 minutes. And in the role of the “bad” starred Australian karate champion Richard Norton. However, some viewers prefer this option. And not because Michael Dudikov is one of his favorite actors. This is the VHS era with simple, understandable stories. Just a favorite movie from the past. By the way, if you like, Dudikov has another movie: Black Thunder. Ironically, Steven Seagal has the same. But here the palm of the championship is already behind Dudikov. He did it eight years before Steven. You can look at both versions and compare who did better.
