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.No relation to the film Mercenaries, the video game named Mercenaries, the video game sequel to Commando named MERCS, or to the Game Boy game, Mercenary Force.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

comment
Cut-and-Paste Environments: The corridors and rooms of the spaceship are parts of the director's apartment, stitched together with film cuts and dressed up with different scenery and lighting. The blandness of military decoration and the effort put into dressing the different corridors makes this largely unnoticeable if you weren't already aware of it.

Air-Vent Passageway: The maintenance ducts are used by Creed and Varisa to navigate the ship during the hijack attempt in Mercs. Making them human accessible was intentional, as with shows such as Star Trek, due to the difficulties of spaceship maintenance.

comment
Classically Trained Extra: A significant amount of the cast for Mercs was drawn from local Shakespeare companies. The result is not evident to the viewer, although on-set, it came as a great benefit as the actors were already accustomed to rapidly memorizing lines and delivering them clearly enough to be picked up without requiring many microphones on set.
