Chuck Norris himself cowrote Invasion U.S.A., a movie that's partly a right-wing paranoid fantasy and partly a prescient vision of contemporary terrorism. A Soviet superagent named Rostov leads an invasion of guerrilla squads who, after landing in Florida, spread throughout the U.S. and start shooting bazookas into suburban homes, inciting race riots by impersonating the police and attacking ethnic events, and planting bombs in churches and on school buses. Soon martial law descends as the country sinks into chaos. Only American superagent Matt Hunter (Norris) can take Rostov on, and eventually the two men face off, Rostov in full-body black leather, Hunter in black gloves and painfully tight blue jeans. For anyone who yearns for the simplicity of the cold war and enjoys a vengeance-laden action flick with lots of guns and exploding cars (but little martial arts), Invasion U.S.A. will provide some cinematic comfort food. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews

Good Transfer of a Good Movie
I've been waiting for this DVD for a long time and it was worth the wait. Chuck Norris is at it again, defending the free world and bringing down the bad guys. If you like the average action movie, you'll love this as it is an outstanding example of the genre.

MGM Gave this movie a pretty good transfer treatment, a fully anamorphic widescreen transfer with actual surround sound. Not bad for a 16 year old film that wasn't a blockbuster. Not much in the extras department, but digging up a widescreen trailer for the film is better than the nothing that they've given with some films.

All in all a good, satisfying Chuck Norris movie and a great value DVD purchase.

Rostov...Its time.

Our hero Matt Hunter just wants to be left alone.

He wants to spend his retirement from the CIA by passing the time in his shanty in the Florida Everglades with his pet armadillo. He just wants to ride around in his Fan Boat and wear jean shirts. That is all he wants.

Even when his former employers in the CIA try to get him to come back he refuses. Nope, after a lifetime of spying and killing and terrorizing terrorists ol' Matt wants to just be left alone.

Sadly, nobody tells Rostov this, the man who is enacting a full scale terrorist invasion of 1980's America! ...and a guy that happens to like to execute people by firing his handgun down into their pants (seriously). He decides the best way to keep Matt Hunter out of his rediculously bleached hair is by killing Matt's neighbor buddy and blowing his shack into a million pieces.

BAD IDEA.

It seems this is just the thing to get him out of his retirement...and he will stop at nothing to make every last terrorist pay.

The Gods who were Golan and Globus have blessed the world with this eternally fun and gratuitously violent movie. They stop at nothing to make these terrorist guerillas the most reprehensibly vile people on earth to the point where you absolutely drool at the notion of Chuck Norris emptying his twin uzis into them.

School buses, churches, beach goers, entire neighborhoods (this is a particularly jaw dropping scene), shoppers. Nothing and nobody is safe.

And did I mention it takes place during the Christmas season? If anything makes the terrorists in this movie even more evil it is their lack of Christmas spirit. And yes, Santa isn't safe either.

This is one of those rare movies I can watch over and over again and never get sick of. If you like your movies with a copious amount of uzis, shotguns, bazookas, coke snorting, grenades, mullets, 80's hair, and the CHUCK NORRIS you will absolutely love INVASION U.S.A.

Chuck Norris = Death to all in his way
Don't listen to any of these people over-analyzing this movie! Chuck Norris is here in all of his mid-80's glory. I don't think the point of this movie was to be compelling or thought-provoking. This movie has everything you could love about the action movie (which doesn't exist today, no thanks to Vin Diesel!)

Plot: Bad guys mess with Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris kills them...all. 'Nuff said. Hordes of terrorists all waiting in line to wreak havoc? No problem for Chuck. Armed with machine guns, rocket launchers and a 4-wheel-drive truck, he WILL deal out his justice. Most poignant are the scenes where he mercilessly drives a knife into a baddie's hand and twists it. Also, the end scene where the head bad guy is cowering in fear in an office is great. Chuck strolls in with his twin uzis strapped to his chest, fearless. Great stuff.

If you don't enjoy watching Chuck destroy anything in his path, don't get this movie. If you love watching somewhat cheesy (in a good way), violent fun, buy it! I say bring back the good old bearded, angry action heros.
