Deadly Heroes
''Deadly Heroes'' is a direct-to-video 1993 action film starring Michael Paré, Jan-Michael Vincent and Billy Drago.

Directed by Menahem Golan, ''Deadly Heroes'' is notable for being one of the last films released under Golan's 21st Century Film Corporation banner. The company went bankrupt shortly thereafter.

To cut costs director Golan used many of the chase scenes from his 1991 release '' Killing Streets'' (also starring Paré). The film has a similar feel to Golan's earlier and more successful film ''The Delta Force'' (1986). ''Deadly Heroes'' received mixed to mostly negative reviews, criticized for its sexism and apparent similarities to ''The Delta Force''. Paré and Vincent's performances were also largely panned.

Electrical Injury
Electrical injury is a physiological reaction caused by electric current passing through the body. The injury depends on the density of the current, tissue resistance and duration of contact. Very small currents may be imperceptible or produce a light tingling sensation. A shock caused by low and otherwise harmless current could startle an individual and cause injury due to jerking away or falling. Stronger currents may cause some degree of discomfort or pain, while more intense currents may induce involuntary muscle contractions, preventing the person from breaking free of the source of electricity. Still larger currents result in tissue damage and may trigger ventricular fibrillation or cardiac arrest. Consequences of injury from electricity may include amputations, bone fractures and orthopedic and musculoskeletal injuries. If death results from an electric shock the cause of death is generally referred to as electrocution. Electric injury occurs upon contact of a body part ...
