Chuck Norris is dead

So I fired up Silent Rage, which is basically Chuck Norris vs Michael Myers, and either I had totally forgotten all the nudity/Chuck rolling around in bed with the girl or I'd just seen this one on TV with an edited cut. But I definitely remember the biker chick flashing the fat cop so I must have had a full cut at some point. Anyway, as one of Chucks more R rated films, I think, it's a fun one as it has a bit of a sci-fi angle which is rare for Chuck.

Also watched the pilot for Walker, Texas Ranger, and he does drop a fair number of quips in that.

Hard to find the good Chuck films on a streaming service, alas. Walker is on roku but damn if its a low res version.

An Eye for an Eye was pretty fun, watched it recently. Changes genres multiple times, has Mako and Richard Roundtree and a random extended love scene like the one you watched.
 
He and Bruce Lee can meet again and have their rematch.
If there's a Heaven and Hell...then Lucifer should be very, very scared with these people together in Heaven. R.I.P, legend.

EDIT: I realize my posting the video underneath my statement makes this seem like a joke post, but it seems to be true about Bob Barker being trained by Norris. Can't find any pics of the actual training though.

Bob Barker (The Price is Right) trained under Chuck for 8 years and had a Black Belt in Tang So Doo. I had no idea!!!






Man, Chuck is just one of those guys who I just thought was immortal, there before me and would be there long after me. R.I.P.
Very sad this weekend.:messenger_loudly_crying::messenger_loudly_crying::messenger_loudly_crying::messenger_crying::messenger_crying::messenger_crying:!!!

Watching Eye for an Eye now and don't think I've ever seen it. Christopher frickin Lee as the bad guy!?! And I like how a cop can afford a sweet waterside condo in San Francisco :p I sp love these seedy 70s/early 80s cop shows, 40-50 years later, nothing has fucking changed.

BTW, tubi has a lot of his better films. In decent quality so far, and the ads are not completely obnoxious.

I've moved on to The Octagon which is a really silly script but damn if I didn't just LOVE any and everything ninja from the 80's. Plus this film has Tracey Walter in it and Mako was in Eye for an Eye so it just tickles me pink that actors from Conan the Destroyer were also in Chuck films. And The Octagon has that funky inner Chuck monologue stuff which is very similar to Lynch's Dune. Plus the white guy n ninja school thing feels very Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow as well (but was probably first in Kung Fu).

Is he implying Norris went to hell? lol.

In the image Chuck Norris beats Doomguy in the killing of the demons. The image suggests that Chuck Norris is even a bigger bad ass than the Doomguy. In a literal sense you are correct but you miss the meaning of the picture. Would you like to know more?
 
Damn, watched the entire The Octagon film and only at the end realized the scene I was thinking of (sword stroke splitting the head) was actually in Scott Glenn's The Challenge :P
 
I was going to watch some of his movies but I can't find one. I have 6 or 7 streaming services and none of his greats are on any.
 
Watched The Way of the Dragon tonight. While I respect the hell out of Bruce Lee and what he did for cinema, I'm not the biggest fans of his movies or his persona and this movie is my least favorite of his, but the Chuck versus Bruce kind of saves it. But with how the fight ends, I'm sad all over again.
 
Apparently he was a hard-line conservative who endorsed republican politicians.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Rest in peace Chuck.

Interesting, it's my favourite overall. It was my first Bruce Lee movie: I was given the Betamax copy from my uncle and watched it over and over. It was my first introduction to nunchaku and Chuck Norris too, and I've had a special place in my heart for them and Bruce ever since.

Chuck does not rest in peace, but peace can rest when Chuck is around to protect it.
 


A lot of people from traditional martial arts get very fixed in their ways and think that the discipline they started with is the one true way of doing things. So it speaks to the kind of person he was that he was seemingly always looking to evolve and try new approaches.

You should remedy that. I'd recommend Delta Force, Lone Wolf McQuade, Invasion U.S.A., for "big Action" Chuck, maybe Eye for an Eye for a more serious Chuck (though it ends in a pretty big action sequence worth of a Bond film), and Firewalker for a lighter tone.

Bruce was really ahead of his time, but I'm just not a fan of how often he no sells in his fight choreography which I find uninteresting (thankfully that wasn't the case with the Chuck Norris fight). The bigger issue with Way of the Dragon, in my eyes, is everything surrounding the fight feels dated (understandable) and usually lands really fat (attempts at comedy).
 
Watched Lone Wolf McQuade tonight. Awesome end action sequence that was totally ripped off for the end of Commando :P Barbara Carrera is gorgeous as always, still one of my fav Bond girls since NSNA was one of, if not the, first Bond I saw in theater with my dad. David Carradine as the heavy against a prime Chuck seems ridiculous, until I remembered the Kung Fu show, in which case this bit of casting probably had some fire to it at the time.
