Top 10: Chuck Norris Flicks

Everyone knows I love me some Chuck.  Six-time World Karate Champion, only man from the western hemisphere to earn an eighth degree black belt, and has his own set of facts.  Here is some of his best flicks:

  1. Invasion USA- A group of terrorists invade Miami to take over the US.  The government and local authorities have a hard time stopping them so who do they call?  That's right.  This is a great 80s action flick.
  2. Lone Wolf McQuade- JJ McQuade is a Texas Ranger who likes to work by himself in his "Lone Wolf" ways.  Bad guy David Carradine tries to take out this Texas Ranger so he can conquer El Paso and this leads to a climatic showdown between two white guys that know martial arts.  This sounds alot like one of my favorite TV shows.
  3. Missing in Action- Chuck plays Braddock, a Vietnam vet that gets called back in to duty to go rescue some POWS that are MIA.  Another action great and Chuck shows he can handle an M60 just as well as Sly and Arnold.
  4. Delta Force- Chuck and Lee Marvin, in his last pic, lead an all star cast about an elite Delta team that are sent to rescue hostages from an airplane hijacking.
  5. Code of Silence- A Dirty Harry rejected screenplay fell to Chuck and this is probably his most praised movie.  He plays a Chicago cop trying to stop a drug gang and rescue a girl from them.
  6. Silent Rage- Chuck plays a small town sheriff that has to protect his town form a killer resurrected by 3 doctors with an experimental drug.  This is almost a horror movie, very creepy.
  7. Return of the Dragon- Yeah, I know it is a Bruce Lee movie but Chuck is in it and helps create one of the best fight scenes ever caught on film.
  8. Forced Vengeance- Chuck is an ex military vet in Hong Kong running a family casino and has to stop it from being taken over by a rival company.
  9. Delta Force 2- Chuck returns as the leader of the Delta Force as they go to Colombia to take down a drug lord.
  10. Firewalker-Chuck's attempt at a little humor.  Stars with Oscar winner Louis Gossett Jr to go find lost treasure and run into many obstacles along the way.
