Chuck Norris has passed away aged 86 years
From the hairiest opponent that Bruce Lee ever faced, to 80s action super star, to 90s action TV super star to…Trump voter. But let’s not dwell on that last bit.
Chuck teams with director Joseph Zito for the 1985 hit Invasion U.S.A. A combined Russian/Cuban force is invading the United States (as opposed to more recent example of the US invading other countries) and doing dastardly deeds like blowing up suburban homes, churches, a school bus, a Latino civic centre (they are equal opportunity terrorists) and a shopping mall at Christmas time (as if last minute Christmas shopping isn’t bad enough). They even do the whole 2pac vasectomy method on Ed Chigliak’s Dad!
But one man stands in their way. Chevy pick-up driving, Armadillo owning, dual sub machine gun wielding Chuck Norris and he has his eyes specifically trained on the main bad guy Rostov (Richard Lynch).
This is pure 80s video store actioned excess, with plenty of explosions and a bad ass, cool calm and collected Chuck uttering some stone cold one liners throughout. The best being his line about giving out some many rights, that they’ll be begging for a left. Which admittedly is a great line but in a true missed opportunity surely should have been preceded by a perp saying ‘hey man I know my rights!’
For those wondering how this fits with the lore of the Chuck Norris cinematic universe, I can definitely confirm it is….Cannon.
