Product 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!

Customer Reviews

"sweet cheeks... you could've been a toasted marshmallow."
This was one of my favorite movies growing up. It's not nearly as good as I remember, but I still like it, and it's still my favorite of Chuck's. Only "Lone Wolf McQuade", and "An Eye For An Eye" come close.

The plot has Norris as a bouncer in a Hong Kong casino where his father-and-son bosses are an adopted family for him. When the elder boss refuses to sell out his place to a proliferating casino chain, both he and his son are killed. The sole heir to their fortune is the partying daughter that Norris must now protect from the greedy syndicate.

The story isn't particularly good, but it's quite adequate in linking lots of fight scenes together without sacrificing too much logic. The pacing is what really makes this movie work. Director James Fargo keeps the story moving with claustrophobic camerawork of back-alleys, boats, rooms at the brothel, and other places where bad guys could (and often do) attack. Not to mention some beautiful shots of Hong Kong itself. The fights aren't great, but they're some of the better ones I've seen from Norris, and there's lots of 'em. Some are even choreographed.

The picture should be widescreen, but what are you gonna do? In English or French, with Spanish, French, or English subtitles. Recommended for fans of Norris and/or cliched 80's action films. Others beware.

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.

High Kicks in Hong-Kong
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!!
