L'exécuteur de Hong Kong

Our hero Josh (Chuck Norris) , one man army , now as a Hong Kong Casino (the name of the Hong Kong night club and gambling house was "The Lucky Dragon Casino") security bodyguard taking on bullies when are brutally killed his chief (David Opatoshu) and son . He attempts to save his chief's daughter (Camila Griggs) from the clutches an evil mobster (Michael Cavanaugh) . Tough Norris battling Chinese triads with the only help his lovely fiancée (Mary Louise Weller) and confronts a sinister baddie like a human tank . For a little more entertainment , the human weapon Norris saves the girl and struggles some hired killers and criminal gangs . Later on , he is chased by the police and anyone who helps is murdered . Josh attempts to get to the violent hoodlums who did it .

This is a slang-bang , unstopped action film with variety martial acts though predictable . Indestructible Norris in yet another groan and grunt middling budget movie ; a routine non-sense , action-thriller that featured fourteen major action sequences . Written and filmed as "The Jade Jungle", later the producers changed the title to "Forced Vengeance" during post production to make it sound more like an action film . Norris stars naturally taking on multiple opponents , cleaning up nasties from Far Orient and beats them , punches , knocks , kicks and defying the gravity in bounds and leaps . Chuck plays nicely an ex-Vietnam vet (like Colonel Braddock from Missing in action) turned security chief . Appears uncredited , almost extra , his true son Mike Norris ; besides as expert stunt , his brother and future director , Aaron Norris . Being one of numerous collaborations of actor-star Chuck Norris and brother stunt coordinator Aaron . Light-weight amusement with suspense , thriller and too much used Chop-Socky formula , leave no cliché untouched ; in addition , fights are well staged . Although taking some of stock footage from other films . The movie belongs to Norris's early period , during the 80s , such as : ¨Force 7¨ , ¨Goods guys wear black¨ , ¨Octagon¨ , ¨Force of one¨ ,¨Eye for eye¨ , and ¨Code of silence¨ with successful box office as video rentals as cinemas . In the late 90s and 2000s , with exception ¨Walker Texas Ranger¨ , Norris stars has declined . The motion picture produced by MGM was professionally directed by James Fargo who directed two Clint Eastwood vehicles as ¨The enforcer¨ , ¨Every which way but loose¨. This movie is a must see if you're a die-hard Norris fan.

This is one of my favorite Chuck Norris movies. It has one of the best opening scenes ever with the silhouette of Chuck fighting an unknown adversary over a neon background. It looks fantastic and is such an innovative opening scene that really creates a cool atmosphere.

Josh Randall (Chuck Norris) is an ex-Special Forces Vietnam veteran who ends up in Hong Kong after the war, eventually becoming the head of security for the Lucky Dragon Casino, run by fellow American expatriate, Sam Pascal. When Sam is killed by an unscrupulous rival, Josh goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.The film is well paced with plenty of Chuck-related ass whupping and doesn't skimp on the violence either. When Chuck's girlfriend is murdered it's a pretty shocking scene, especially the bad guy's hair and mustache.

Overall, Forced Vengeance is a fun Chuck Norris flick with plenty of fight scenes and action to keep action fans happy. Worth Watching...8 out of 10

Above comment would have been another Chuck Norris joke, but in this movie, it's the truth. This is Chuck Norris in his hardest baddest role, and his early career monument to the legend of Chuck Norris.

Chuck shows no mercy to anyone that gets in his way. The unlucky bad guys doesn't realize what they're up against, as Chuck Norris obliterates them one by one. If they had internet in 1982, they would have fled Hong Kong long before Chuck Norris' plane landed there.

Chuck just keeps giving his icy cold glare throughout this movie. There's no charm, or sweetness in his character. He just coldly executes everyone who opposes him.

This is one of the best Chuck Norris movie from the early '80s, and is worth every minute to see it if you're a martial arts or Chuck Norris movie fan.

This film kicks and punches. I have seen a lot of action films, and this one has the best direction for action sequences. The karate is just excellent, the one scene with the neon lights with the two dark combatents is way cool. The big man fight is interesting, and the story melts well with the action. This movie is about the action. The scene with the toilet almost killed Chuck in real life.

"Forced Vengeance" is lesser Chuck Norris from this period, but even lesser Chuck Norris does assure us a reasonable amount of ass kicking. Chuck plays Josh Randall, a security chief at a Hong Kong casino that was the baby of a man named Sam Paschal (David Opatoshu). Trouble brews when Sam's foolish son David (Frank Michael Liu) gets mixed up with a mobster named Raimondi (Michael Cavanaugh), and of course the mobster is the kind of guy who can't stand hearing the word "no". When Sam and David are rubbed out, Josh swears vengeance, taking it on the lam until the big final confrontation. We have to give director James Fargo some credit, as he knows well what the standout scene in this movie is, a fight with a sea of neon as the backdrop while Chuck and foe are in silhouette. This is very striking, and we see it not once but twice, as it plays out under some of the opening credits. Would that the rest of the movie were that stylish. It's basically standard stuff, and its major problem is that it feels awkward at times, in some of the fights and especially when it goes for levity. (At least we know some of the humour is intentional, especially in one fine moment that may remind the viewer of the "shooting the swordsman" gag in "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Chuck's narration and dialogue are sometimes priceless; here's one gem that may have one thunderstruck: "Sweet cheeks, you could have been a toasted marshmallow." as Chuck refers to a person he'd threatened to set aflame in order to get another to talk. (It *is* cool that he displays such a sense of ruthlessness.) Some of the climactic action gets hilariously repetitive, as in order to find out who's *really* behind everything (even Raimondi is answering to someone higher), he interviews one criminal lowlife who inevitably refers him to somebody else. The cast is variable; some of them are pretty nondescript, but others do well, especially old pro Opatoshu. Cavanaugh is also good as the villain (he actually has the upper hand for a while in his fight with Chuck), Mary Louise Weller ("Animal House") and Camila Griggs supply some nice eye candy, and Bob Minor is quite likable as Chuck's friend. In any event, one can't write off any movie in which the head honcho is fond of Tom & Jerry cartoons and in which inspired use is made of a toilet. Chuck is in fine form as always, and it remains a good time to watch him taking on all comers. While this isn't among his best, it's certainly not his worst, either. Six out of 10.
