Good Guys Wear Black (1978): Body Count Breakdown

Good Guys Wear Black (1978): Body Count by RANTBO

[CHARACTER KILLS]

Chuck Norris’s John T. Booker = 09

Soon-Tek Oh’s Mhin Van Thieu = 06*

NOTE: Booker’s team of commandos are called The Black Tigers.

*Probably responsible for several of the deaths in the POW set-up scene, but the quality of the DVD I have, it was too difficult to differentiate between the Black Tigers.
