L'exécuteur de Hong Kong

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 is one of the best action fliks. Chuck Norris is great. I loved it. The story is excellent. And so is the incredible Action scenes.

I happened to stumble upon the 1982 movie "Forced Vengeance" by random chance here in 2024. And with it being an older Chuck Norris movie that I hadn't already seen, much less actually knew existed, of course I opted to sit down and watch the movie. And oh wow, well I didn't know that Chuck Norris had made and recorded a movie in Hong Kong, prior to watching this movie. So that was quite a nice surprise.

The storyline, from writers Franklin Thompson and James Fargo, was good. It was an entertaining movie to watch, despite it oozing with generic early 1980s action and martial arts movies tropes. But hey, that just made "Forced Vengeance" all the more enjoyable in my opinion.

"Forced Vengeance" is brought to life on the screen by a good cast ensemble and some good acting performances. Of course you know what you get with Chuck Norris, and he does carry the movie quite nicely. It was also quite a nice treat to see the likes of Michael Cavanaugh and Bob Minor on the cast list.

There are a fair amount of action and fighting scenes throughout the course of the movie. Just as you would expect from a Chuck Norris movies. And the action and fighting is nicely brought to the screen, as it is nicely choreographed and executed. So that definitely added something good and enjoyable to the overall impression of "Forced Vengeance".

If you enjoy Chuck Norries movies, then "Forced Vengeance" is definitely a movie that is well-worth sitting down and spending 90 minutes on watching. I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the entire movie.

My rating of director James Fargo's 1982 movie "Forced Vengeance" lands on a seven out of ten stars.

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.

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.
