My wife is out of town. Having nothing better to do, I watched this 1983 Chuck Norris/David Carradine action movie last night. It's so bad it's good, which confounds conventional rating systems. One star? Five stars? I'm not sure it deserves a rating at all.
Just one example: bad guy Carradine attempts to do away with good guy Norris by placing the unconscious Texas Ranger behind the wheel of his pickup truck, pushing the truck into a big hole in the ground and dumping tons of dirt on top. Our hero is now buried alive! But with a mighty heave, ol' Chuck fights his way back to consciousness just long enough to grab a can of beer, taking a huge swig of Coors and dumping the rest on his head to revive himself! Thus restored, snorting and gasping, hell-bent on revenge, Norris guns the engine and the pickup comes bursting out of the ground with an almighty roar. Then all hell breaks loose. And then..., well, you get the idea.
Ten years later, Norris reworked this character into the TV show Walker, Texas Ranger, which ran for on CBS for an astounding nine seasons.
