History
The Black ops series was conceived in the early 1980s. With the rise of shooting/action films, (mainly led by Arnold Schwarzenegger) they believed that they would be popular here. They hired strongman Paul Seranne to play the protagonist, Brad Avery, from LSS Unit 56. The original film was released in 1983 to low critical reviews and high box-office attendance. It became an instant hit and a cult classic. The second and third films that followed were equally as bad but not as successful as the original. Disagreements between Seranne and Transbaum led to him being fired before the filming of the fourth movie. Here there would be two protagonists: Avery (name changed to Jim), played by Phil Martinez and Rockwell, played by Bill Crewe. This movie was terribly made but surprisingly was quite popular.
