Chuck Norris Movies

[claws]

I realized the other day I have seen more Chuck Norris movies than Steven Segal movies. I partly blame my nephews as they were big Chuck Norris fans, so we rented almost everything with Chuck in it. I would rank and rate them like this:

 1. Lone Wolf McQuade (1983) 4.0 (B)
 2. Code of Silence (1985) 3.5 (B-)
 3. The Delta Force (1986) 2.5 (C)
 5. Forced Vengeance (1982) 2.5 (C)
 4. An Eye for an Eye (1981) 2.5 (C)
 6. Missing in Action (1984) 2.5 (C)
 7. Invasion U.S.A. (1985) 2.5 (C)
 8. Silent Rage (1982) 2.5 (C)
 9. Missing in Action 2: The Beginning (1985) 2.5 (C)
 10. The Hitman (1991) 2.5 (C)
 11. Hero and the Terror (1988) 2.0 (C-)
 12. Sidekicks (1992) 2.0 (C-)
 13. Firewalker (1986) 2.0 (C-)
 14. A Force of One (1979) 2.0 (C-)
 15. Good Guys Wear Black (1978) 2.0 (C-)
 16. The Octagon (1980) 2.0 (C-)
 17. Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection (1990) 1.5 (D+)
 18. Braddock: Missing in Action III (1988) 1.5 (D+)
 19. The Cutter (2005) 1.5 (D+)
 20. Hellbound (1994) 1.5 (D+)
 21. Breaker! Breaker! (1977) 1.0 (D)
 22. Top Dog (1995) 0.5 (D-)
 23. Slaughter in San Francisco (1974) 0.5 (D-)
 24. Forest Warrior (1996) 0.0 (F)

I think Firewalker is my favourite out of that list.

[zombie no.one]

seen maybe 6 or 7 of those, but I can't warm to the guy. something about him just seems terminally uninteresting.

I did kind of enjoy INVASION USA (first viewing last year) in a cardboardy 80s action kind of way

[lester1/2jr]

haha yeah I think Lone Wolf Mc Quade was the only one I enjoyed. and even that was pretty ridiculous

He was never a good actor, and he was certainly lacking edge. Probably one of the blandest "action heroes" to grace the big screen. The only thing he had going was his martial arts.

[RCMerchant]

Of those, SILENT RAGE and LONE WOLF MCQUADE are my favorites.

An Eye For An Eye and Lone Wolf McQuade are my faves.

Incidentally, I always thought that Walker Texas Ranger was a kind of a nod / homage to Lone Wolf McQuade until I found out Steve Carver and his producing partner took Chuck Norris to court over it and lost. 

[Neville]

My favorite isn't listed. I always thought "Missing in action II: The beginning" is the best of the lot. It's a semi-competent POW film with some Rambo-style action at the end and a good villain.

I find most of Norris stuff boring as hell.

I've never really liked Chuck Norris movies.  As an action hero, he lacks the charisma or people like Arnold and Sly and as a martial artist (in movies anyway) he never looked like he was anything special. 

I never did understand what the big deal about him was.  I remember when the Chuck Norris jokes started, it was equally parts Chuck, Vin DIesel, and Mr. T.  I have no idea why people decided Chuck would be the most interesting one to keep joking about.  (I was in favor of Mr. T personally.)

I'm on team "Chuck sucks." I'm not sure I've ever seen one of his movies all the way through, except for SILENT RAGE with the help of Rifftrax. I've seen the fight form WAY OF THE DRAGON, but not the whole movie.

the legendary Paul Calf discusses a scene from MISSING IN ACTION (I think) then tries to recreate it. in a pub

WAY OF THE DRAGON is a classic, and not because of Chuck, who is a very mediocre actor and a boring martial artist.
Plus  Bruce f**ks him up as a can of worms. Beats the f**k outta him! Kills his punk ass too!

I've seen roughly 3/4 of the movies on this list. Chuck's made some fun flicks (the utterly ridiculous Invasion U.S.A. is a personal fave) but a lot of junk, too. (Hero And The Terror, anyone? Hellbound? Top Dog? Nah, I didn't think so).

[Neville]

"Hero and the Terror" is especially disappointing. It has an interesting premise and Norris is handed a more complex character than usual. And then... boring as hell, and with one of Norris worst performances, which is saying something.

[Trevor]

The Hitman is actually good: Chuck is almost the bad guy in this one.

Well, it seems my Chuck fan club has one member: me.
