It was hilarious how he told the story, I wouldn't do it any justice if I try to tell it. I think about it now (after so many years) I should have asked him for a job, even a nonpaying internship position. The worst thing that coulda happened was him saying, No. It woulda made things a bit less difficult when I graduated.
@@sydIRISH lol Same here. Thought it would be a regular Chuck action kick-a-thon but no, it was also a full on Horror flick. Scared the shit outta my young ass too!
And... he promissed them a full length movie. So he probably made sure he wasn't too rough, least he accidentially cut the movie down to 10 minutes, intro and dialogues included.
I don't have it anymore but I originally found this movie at a good will on a vhs tape from the year it came out it was the oldest vhs tape I ever owned.
This was the first horror(ish) film I ever watched. My dad was a huge Chuck Norris fan when I was a kid and when my mum would do the late shift, he'd let me stay up to watch Norris films. This, Code of Silence and an eye for an eye were always my faves! Thanks for the review Cecil
chuck Norris did a third horror movie for canon films which almost felt like a pilot for Walker Texas ranger, that movie is called hellbound where chuck Norris fights a demon
What's so awesome about this slasher movie is that it's basically the *only one ever* where there's a good guy (who's also a serious bad-ass) in the "final girl" role. I find that incredibly refreshing.

Now that you say it, premise is really more down Cannon Films alley. They were just thriving on combining unlikely production and plot components. Even their Ten Little Indians based on And Then There Were None from 1989 for some reason changes setting from an isolated island in UK to a safari in Africa... Which actually makes for an interesting diversion.
There's an episode of "Walker; Texas Ranger" that homages this movie I think. In season 6. "Warrior," Where walker fights a rogue genetically engineered super soldier. That show got weird ...
At one point he had " indjun superpowers" and fought against the supernatural, then the next episode he helped a kid with h.i.v. get better through the power of prayer. XD still,fun times, Walker is one of my guilty pleasures
It was bound to be weird at some point: shows like that go to strangest places from a seemingly down-to-Earth premise. Look no further than Baywatch or Thunder in Paradise: the latter had anything from Predator expy to mystery episodes.
@@PictureProductStudio Sadly the answer is no to both questions. We shot three "scenes". 1. My friend dressed as Chuck Norris' character working out at home, and an FBI agent comes to ask him about the events. 2. The reveal of my youngest brother as the fat deputy. . . Chuck still had his body for whatever reason. 3. Same friend as the killer in a skin tight child's silver space/alien costume, emerging from the creek. We kind of lost interest, and never even got close to figuring out how my friend would fight himself on screen. Editing back then consisted of in camera, or dubbing with two VCRs.
You should tell this my plastic bottles of concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated hydrochloric acid I have stored in my kitchen ;-). Hydrofluric acid can't even be stored in glas - but it can be in plastic.
This film was one that took the typical slasher horror tropes and threw them out the window simply by having someone directly take on the monster one on one, and in my opinion is a breath of fresh air no one has bothered to replicate. I don't know about the remake listed here which probably no one saw, but I think it might help if people tried thinking differently with these movies.
I swear: this movie has one of the most awesome taglines in history. Also the sheer blending of genres here is really interesting: a sci-fi slasher with Chuck Norris in the lead is not something you see every day. I guess the closest thing to it would be Maniac Cop franchise which cannot decide what it is foremost, so it happens to do everything and kinda succeeds.
I remember going to either the Goldman or the SamEric in downtown Philly to watch this one. It's one of my favorite 'Chucky' Norris films. I would love to see this remade and it was funny to see John Cena as the lead! LOL!
For years or local Fox station played this on Halloween’s. I never got to see the complete movie. I tried watching it on Amazon Prime last week and got the RiffTraxx version. My bucket list has this movie on it. 😂
Thank you, Cecil. You rock, as always. I remember this used to play on cable non-stop late at night during the early 80's. It had everything a 15 year-old boy could want: karate, an unstoppable monster, nudity, mad scientists and a fat oaf as comic relief.
Before I became a horror nerd decades ago this film scared the shit out of me... very creepy opening credits, too. The six million dollar man stuff is hokey now but there’s some really well done telegraphed shocks in this.
I had weird feeling that we were going to get a Chuck Norris, which was going to be this one; Breaker, Breaker; A Force of One; the Octogon; or Good Guys Wear Black.
Brian Libby was super creepy in this, and had this performance that was so physical and creepy AF, he didn't need a hockey mask, he was the hockey mask!.
Chuck Norris doesn't wear condoms. There's no protection from Chuck Norris. BTW: Invasion U.S.A. is my favorite Chuck Norris (and Cannon) movie, but the neo western Lone Wolf McQuade (1983) is also good. Check that movie out if you haven't seen it yet.
After all is said and done... I love this flick. See it in the theatre back in 80's, scare the s**t out of me straight out the poster... and that's it. Love it.
Another awesome review Cecil! I think it's hilarious that the screenwriter claimed to hate horror, but then envisions the film as Frankenstein vs Chuck Norris!! LMFAO, last time I checked, Frankenstein's monster was a horror movie monster! This movie was definitely a mixture of a slasher film & martial arts film. An oddball mixture that hasn't really been done much. Can't wait for In Search of Darkness, this month!
Antagonist, maybe?.. I mean, there is something truly scary about Chuck Norris, as well, as one should always fear when a wild Chuck Norris appears, but still. ;)

3:00, this Ron Silver's first horror and or sci-fi movie he starred in. His second is the Supernatural Horror film, The Entity.
Silver is a phenomenal character actor: his double performance as single senator in different decades in Timecop makes half the movie!
Blue Steel, Timecop and The Arrival with Sheen, are what I remember him from most.
The Entity is a trip, with creepy sexually deviant demon.
The Entity is fucked up for sure.

LOL, I have fond memories of this movie. My friends and I started shooting a sequel when we were 15.
Have you ever finished or at least are there any surviving tapes? This sounds like something I would really love to see.

Ok now its time for the Walker Texas Ranger lever. Where's Conan O'Brien when you need him
the cinnamon cake scene is hilarious.
i cant believe there's no clip of it on YT

Chuck Norris is 80 now....not a bad ass.

This makes me want to see a Chuck Norris vs Rasputin movie.
Was not expecting a Gen 1 Pokemon reference, but I will gladly take it. The "Exploring" series is quite good, but I do miss these type of videos.

Excellent video Cecil can you please review First Power from 1990 staring Lou Diamond Phillips.
Yaaasssss...that's another one I've been waiting for somebody to cover 👍
I just watched that a week ago. Used to love that one. It’s a lot like the superior Fallen, just much more an action/horror.
I too am a fan of the First Power.i watched it as kid.
