The first two films [[Evacuator]] (1984) and [[Exploder: Evacuator Part II]] (1986) mainly focus on Tim venturing to Vietnam and Cambodia for rescue purposes and to kill Communists. The third film [[Special Needs Cop]] (1992) features a far different story, with Tim flying out of Cambodia and back to the United States early in the film to teach a pre-school for handicapped children. | The first two films [[Evacuator]] (1984) and [[Exploder: Evacuator Part II]] (1986) mainly focus on Tim venturing to Vietnam and Cambodia for rescue purposes and to kill Communists.

The trilogy parodies trigger-happy patriotic action movies of the 1980s with muscle-bound heroes, such as Rambo and Commando. It also comes with its own action figure play set, though many figures and props are "sold separately," also a play on the merchandising of G.I. Joe action figures of the time, or possibly the short-lived Rambo toy line. | The trilogy parodies trigger-happy patriotic action movies of the 1980s with muscle-bound heroes, such as [[wp:Rambo:First Blood|Rambo]] and [[wp:Commando (film)|Commando]].
