Curiosidades
Omega watches, worried about an association with a far right terrorist organisation took the film studio to court in a last ditch attempt to block the films release. Italian sports brand Kappa even stepped in with the offer of sponsorship to take the naming rights, contracts had been signed and 'Kappa Syndrome' wrap party t-shirts had even been ordered when Omega watches dropped their case. Omega watches CEO Tim E. Phlies, in an interview with Empire magazine would later laugh off the lawsuit when it was put to him that the total box office sales for the film came to less than the cost of one of his watches.

Pifias
In the car chase scene, Terry's car has both front lights working in the first shot. In the next shot, only his right light is working. Then both lights work again, then only the right light. Coming out of the tunnel, both lights are turned on again. Taking a left just after exiting the tunnel, only the right light is working.

Wimpy action pic

My review was written in July 1987 after watching the movie on New World video cassette.

"Omega Syndrome" is a low-effort example of an action film backed by European producers to be sold on the world market as an American product. Pic is U. S.-made but locks the energy and diverting elements to be a credible theatrical release. New World has had several bookings this year but has rushed it out on its video label soon after.

Ken Wahl is a journalist down on his luck, hitting the booze. He whips into action when his 13-year-old daughter (cute Nicole Eggert) is kidnapped during a liquor store robbery. The L. A. police led by Doug McClure are portrayed as particularly lame here, so Wahl teams up with his ex-Vietnam buddy George DiCenzo to find the kidnappers and rescue Eggert. It turns out she's in the hands of a group of neo-Nazi terrorists, identifiable by their omega symbol wrist tattoos.

Boring film consists mainly of Wahl and DiCenzo interviewing people for clues, punctuated by perfunctory action scenes and explosions. In vey cornball fashion, a one-night stand with Patti Tippo is written in for Wahl -that went out with Screenwriting 101. Elsewhere, John Sharkey's clutz dialog is ridiculous, right down to the imitation James Bond/Schwarzenegger throwaway quip, as DiCenzo exclaims: "Say Goodnight, Gracie" before wasting a heavy.
