El guerrero del bosque

This production was clearly ahead of its time, and sometimes folk want to cut down others that are heading in a paramount vicinity. The visual effects are pre digital, and mr Norris has a beautiful hairstylist. I hope the animals weren't hurt too much in the making of this, oh yes, and the children. I wonder if Greta ever saw this film. Every body needs to see this film, or at least download it illegally from the pirate shop. Do it for Bruce W, and Nick Cage, and Gilda Swinton too, just in case there was something happening in Orlando at the time.

Well, there are some things in this world that words aren't enough to describe. Forest Warrior is definitely one of these. Shiny acting combined with superb state-of-the-art special effects and especially incredible direction work by Aaron "The Vision" Norris. The story (and what a story indeed!!) tells of John McKenna (Chuck "the interpreter of feelings" Norris), a forest warrior, protector of the local woods who can transform into a bear (which is something everyone should see!). McKenna fights against the evil lumberjacks who YEARN to bring the forest down (you can actually hear one of them saying "i wish we could just cut down those trees"!). So the story is amazing and full of twists and tricks and it even includes a musical scene (insanely funny) where the lumberjacks dance and play 'air guitar' with their chainsaws.

In another words: don't miss this one!

I know that many of Chuck Norris' movies are filled with cliches and ripoffs of Dirty Harry and other such movies, but this one lays less off of Dirty Harry and instead goes for low immature humor and painfully bad scriptwriting. A pack of stupid kids protect the rainforest from a greedy troupe of redneck lumberjacks, with the help of the ghost of a part-Indian mountain man (played by none other than Chuck Norris) who happens to know karate. The film features a handful of Walker, Texas Ranger regulars, in addition to perhaps the most painful scriptwriting anyone has seen on this planet. But then again, what can we expect from Aaron Norris, who is Chuckie's little brother?? Also, did I forget to mention that the acting REALLY sucked!?

Now come on all you pessimistic movie haters out there! This movie is a treasure! The problem is that no one really sees the true meaning behind this film. Before that, Chuck's acting is superb.....not bad!!! He is a model thespian and consumate interpeter of scripts. Now as for what this movie represents. The base for this movie came, no doubt, from C.S. Lewis. This movie is somewhat related to "Narnia," although is based upon "That Hideous Strength." The mountain in this movie represents humanity, and the femecological destiny of our planet according to Suzette Elgin in her treatise on human relations "The Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defense." Chuck represents the Pendragon, or the guardian of the Arthurian throne, son of Uthur Pendragon. He and the children, representing Logres, or the civilized realm of Arthurian Britain, are charged with further guarding humanity (the mountain) against the evil business tycoons. The business men are clearly a representation of Lewis' N.I.C.E. Furthermore, they are an indirect representation of our 20th century totalitarian fears. For the average person this may be a bit much to handle, but with Chuck's guidance, we can all understand the importance of this movie to our everyday lives.

This is a children fantasy about a magical mountain , a mysterious legend and a story of courage against all odds ; including an ecological message , being realized by Norris brothers , Chuck and Aaron . It deals with children fight to save the local forests of Tanglewood Mountain helped by a spiritual being named John McKenna (Chuck Norris) who was possessed a century before (1875) by a mountain spirit and who is able to transform into bear, wolf or eagle . A greedy developer (Terry Kiser) , owner of 'Thorne Lumber' enterprise attempts to chop trees for his profit , as the little boys with the help of the ghostly man who was murdered in the same woods long time ago , along with the sheriff (Max Gail) and a drunk father (Michael Beck) struggle the nasty lumbermen .

The film is a blending between ¨Beastmaster¨ along with a group of children in ¨Goonies¨ style and antics , kick-asses , frolics against villains like ¨Home alone¨ . Mild and light adventure with ecology issue , it's full of fighting , humor , action and silly scenes and results to be an average flick . The picture packs action , explosions and several slight fights in Terence Hill/Bud Spencer style . Good support cast crammed by familiar faces as Roscoe Lee Browne , Max Gail , Loreta Swift , William Sanderson , Barbara Niven , George Buck Flower , John Dennis Johnson , among others . Colorful cinematography by Joao Fernades , usual of Chuck Norris films ; being filmed on location in Hood River, Lost Lake, Mount Hood, and Parkdale, Oregon, USA . Functional musical score and including some beautiful songs . The motion picture was regularly directed by Aaron Norris who has usually produced , playing stunts and directed various vehicles for his brother Chuck , such as ¨Missing in action 3¨, ¨Delta Force 2¨ , ¨Hitman¨ , ¨Hellbound¨, some episodes of ¨Walker Texas Ranger¨and three children films such as ¨Sidekicks¨ , ¨Top dog¨ and this ¨Forest warrior¨. The only film done by Aaron Norris to not have Chuck Norris in it was ¨Platoon leader¨. Rating : Average but entertaining . The picture will appeal to Chuck Norris fans .
