Description

Got an itch for action? These three Chuck Norris movies know where to scratch! HellBound (Disc 1/Side A) remains one of the hard-hitting hero's most unusual films, a searing tale of a Chi-town cop whose murder investigation leads him to Israel...and into battle against a owerful satanic being. Next, Norris poses as The Hitman (Disc 1/Side B), pretending to be a stone-cold hired gun in order to draw closer to the mob he intends to take down. And Hong Kong's gambling realm is the setting for Norris in Forced Vengeance (Disc 2). The martial arts star plays a security expert on the trail of the killers of Lucky Dragon Casino's manager. He chops, they drop: it's an action jackpot!

Description

Lady Luck has fled Hong Kong's Lucky Dragon Casino. Its manager has squandered the profits. Its owner has been snuffed by the mob. And the heir to the casino is in hiding. But Lucky Dragon still holds one last ace: security expert Josh Randall. Local mobsters should cash in their chips when Chuck Norris plays Randall in Forced Vengeance, an alive-and-kicking actionfest directed by James Fargo (who directed Clint Eastwood in The Enforcer and Every Which Way but Loose). Determined to find the syndicate big shot behind the proprietor's death, Randall goes on the hunt. Trouble follows. And so does the lightning strike of screen excitement - the kind of martial-arts excitement that only Norris can chop, punch, shoot, leap, slam and deliver!

Great movie, but not Chuck's best........2007-07-01

The action is pretty good and the story moves along nicely (except the five years it seems to take to go from the docks to his boat when he first returns) but the acting done by some of the actors was a bit stiff. The two cops for example were rather one dimensional, and don't get me started on the big boy working for Osiris. Worth the money but not nearly as good as say Code of Silence or An Eye For An Eye. And definitely nowhere near Hero and The Terror.

"Never let your girl handle your piece".......2007-06-03

Chuck Norris stars as security chief/debt collector for the Lucky Dragon casino in Hong Kong. He is considered a son to the casino's owner and is certainly a stand-up guy. When the casino owner decides not to sell his casino to an evil tycoon, they kill him, his son, and then go looking for his daughter. Norris saves the daughter (she stands to inherit the casino) and they hide out at his girlfriend's place. Goons relentlessly come after him and they kidnap the daughter. Norris of course has to save her with his superior cowboy karate skills.

This is well directed and has great music from Willam Goldstein. Norris gives one of his best performances. He is not good at delivering lines effectively, but they just seem to give him the right lines in this movie. All of this helps out quite a bit since the plot is very thin. The action is good, though nothing spectacular. Luckily, there is plenty of action and I have never seen Norris look this cool. Highly recommended for fans of Chuck Norris.

3/5

Picture quality on the Fox DVD is good, but grainy at times.

If you like chuck norris this is one of his best. It is a movie that keeps moving along and you don't get bored with the fight scenes as you do in some of these types of movies.

Not One of Norris' Best Efforts.......2006-11-19

Forced Vengeance is not one of Chuck Norris' better films. Norris' film career has been predicated on giving people what they want, and the way that they want it. But in this film, the plot gets convoluted, and the action is not good enough to make up for that shortcoming.

Norris plays the bouncer at a casino in Hong Kong. The owner, who has become like a father to Norris, is murdered by a syndicate trying to take it over. Norris goes out for revenge, and becomes emeshed in a vast conspiracy and lots of bloodshed. It gets hard keeping up with who's doing what, to whom, and even why, and after a while, you don't care. Which would be okay if that action was so spectacular that it made you forget about the plot deficiencies. But it's not.

Norris has made a number of very entertaining movies. But Forced Vengeance is not one of them.

High Kicks in Hong-Kong.......2005-03-04

This movie is about A Mob War in Hong-Kong,Chuck Norris helps
his Boss who is not a Mobster and avenges their Death!
No,not your classical Chop Socky stuff,in this pre-1997 retrocession Hong-Kong, the Magic of Chuck Norris' Karate operates on us!
The Fight scene on a Neon-Lit staircase is the climax of this great Movie!
It most definitely did not get the attention it deserved when it was released!!
