In 2003, Merc Force was released to Netflix. Made on a budget of approximately $3000 by James Panetta of Ikuzo Studios in Philadelphia, it didn't receive the most stellar reviews. Despite this, it continues to make respectable sales on Netflix and was successful enough to result in being reshot as television-length episodes as Mercs. The original film can be viewed for free online at EZTakes. No relation to either the video game named Mercenaries or the video game sequel to Commando named MERCS.

  • The Sega Mega Drive port of Mercs featured two modes, an arcade mode, which mirrored the arcade release of the game, where the player had one "Merc" (soldier) who could pick up a variety of different weapons throughout the game; and an "original" mode, which included multiple playable characters, each with their own unique weapon. In both modes, the aim was to fight through the levels, defeating each boss at the end of every level.

The new Bionic Commando sequel identifies the returning character of Super Joe (who was also the player's character in Commando) as Joseph Gibson, essentially tying the two games together.
