Un crime est commis? Voila un boulot pour Shatter et Jackson, deux flics de Chicago aguerris pour qui vol qualifié et meurtre prémédité sont le pain quotidien.
Mais rien ne pouvait le préparer à un affrontement avec les forces du mal.
Chuck Norris fighting a South American drug dealer and his private army.
There's some atrocity-payback, and a whole lot of flying fists, kicks and elbows.
Two moments in particular stand out:
1. Chuck going one-on-one against a henchman, teaching him Lessons Number One and Two. Both involve pummeling.
2. Chuck training a bunch of recruits in a circle of pain. One poor sap even gets a head-plant into the dirt -- I'm not entirely sure it's a stunt.
Maniant les armes avec la vitesse de l'éclair, l'audacieux guerrier Chuck Norris entreprend une mission suicidaire pour sauver sa famille depuis longtemps disparue!
This typical but well-made action movie, which spawned numerous sequels, means to combine the best elements of the disaster movie with the hard-boiled attributes of traditional action-adventures. When a plane is hijacked to the Middle East by Palestinian terrorists, the Pentagon calls into action the Delta Force, an elite squad of highly trained commandos led by tough guy mainstay Lee Marvin and karate-action-star Chuck Norris. Their mission is simple: to thwart the terrorists and rescue the hostages, and the plot concentrates largely on just that, as the team uses its experience and fighting skills to get the job done. Its sometimes preachy patriotic bent occasionally gets in the way of the action, and Norris is a one-dimensional figure who at times takes himself too seriously, but his rapport with easygoing veteran Marvin moves the film over some implausible rough spots. While not a groundbreaking contribution to the genre, Delta Force impresses with its straightforward tough-guy style.
U.S.A.1985 : des boat-people cubains fuyant le régime castriste sont exterminés par de faux gardes-côtes américains dirigés par l'agent soviétique Rostov. Le F.B.I. comprend trop tard qu'il s'agit de la première étape de l'invasion des U.S.A. : seul Matt Hunter (Chuck Norris) est de taille à lutter contre les actes de terreur organisés par Rostov.

Cusak refuses to join the code of silence regarding the shooting, and he is ostracized by the other cops. But when a young woman's life is endangered, the lieutenant goes alone into the gangsters' lair. Without backup, Cusack fights the bad guys in an armored tank.
Le Colonel Braddock (Chuck Norris) est convaincu qu'il reste des prisonniers américains portés disparus au Vietnam et il va tout mettre en ?uvre pour le prouver.
Viet-nâm, 1972. Prisonnier du sadique Yin, le colonel Braddock parvient à fuir. Il reviendra pour se venger, mettant ainsi fin au trafic d'opium auquel Yin se livrait.
Six-time World Karate Champion Chuck Norris is a small town sheriff Dan Stevens, a man whose job gets increasingly more difficult after he shoots murderer John Kirby (Brain Libby) at the scene of the crime. After Kirby's body is taken to a local medical institute, a trio of local scientists try out a new serum on the murderer's body which both revives him and causes any injuries he obtains to quickly heal. The reanimated, and now seemingly indestructible, murderer kills the doctors and escapes, leaving an increasing number of corpses in his wake. This combination of FRANKENSTEIN, HALLOWEEN, and martial arts was the first in a profitable string of pictures for Norris.
Of all of Bruce Lee's movies this one is perhaps the most realistic and enjoyable in terms of martial arts action even more so than Enter the Dragon. The plot of a country bumbkin sent away from his home that ends up singlehandedly humiliating and dispatching pestering gangsters is again implemented, but is this time seen entirely through Bruce's eyes as Bruce wrote this screenplay. Comedy punchlines that fall flat, plot somersaults that defy logic and reasoning leaving the audience discombobulated however are forgetable, but the choreography of the fights are the apex of on screen martial-arts action. The gladiator duel set in the Colloseum with Bruce and Chuck Norris is the most climactic scene, and I found myself rewinding the scene over and over to catch Bruce Lee's footwork that seemed comparable to Muhammed Ali's. The scene where Bruce Lee wields two nunchaka at once is asskickingly breathtaking.
