    the best film of Norris career.

    Chuck Norris is not known for his acting chops or his classics. But this one is the best and honest of his pictures. Honest because he knows and the director knows that in order to make an action movie soar is to make it as violent and as simple as this one. Its simple but is told in a very straightforward way. You identify the bad guys, they misbehave, Chuck finds them and kick their asses. The final confrontation between Chuck and the big Chinese guy is done with some realism. Chuck is bloody and angry he is not fighting him in a conventional karate way, he's hitting him with everything he has, he even tries to drown the big fella in a toilet. My favorite by far. Peace.

    Two-fisted Norris again as an ex-soldier and casino security chief pitting Asian villains

    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.

    No one crosses Chuck Norris and lives !

    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 movie is so bad, it's good.

    Forced Vengeance is another example of an one of those movies that would be unwatchable were it not for all the hilarious scenes. This TBS regular is the story of ex-soldier turned casino security guard, Josh Randall (Norris), who takes on a Hong Kong Syndicate single-handedly after his boss and friend, Sam Paschal (Opatoshu), is murdered by a rival casino owner. (If that in itself doesn't spell hilarity, I don't know what does.) Along with his deadpan narration, this film truly showcases Norris' acting prowess. :) This combined with the incredibly trite dialog leads to some of the funniest moments in the film. "He's sick, verrry sick..." says Randall matter-of-factly to some Hong Kong locals as he kidney-punches a corrupt Inspector who's been hounding him and stuffs him into a car. It just doesn't get any better than this, folks. I love this movie. There are so many funny moments it's worth watching over and over. And I guarantee you'll be quoting some of Randall's lines for weeks afterwards if you give it a chance.
