You know the main issues are the subpar acting, over the top supid action, and the fact that for about 15% of the movie it's actually the adventure movie the plot setup promises it to be. Most of the time it's a dumb buddy action movie comedy and it's terrible when it does that. When it's the actual adventure it's ok enough. Wish JRD was in it more besides 5 minutes he's the best good thing. There really isn't anything that good about it besides the pacing is ok enough. None of the jokes get a laugh at all. There just one liners and bad puns for the most part. Really not much chesmitry between anyone, the set design is cheap looking lots of times, it feels like comedic/dumb action events just happen half the time rather than a actual adventure story, the villians aren't that good and pretty generic,and not the biggest fan of so much 80's synth. It's not the worst adventure I've ever seen but it's not even that most of the time. Skip This.

Just a bit of comedy fun. One of those movies where you turn your brain off and enjoy the fisticuffs. Like Tango & Cash, all action and no substance, but hell, its good for a laugh or two.

I wouldn't have rated it this high when it first came out...but that's how cult classics go. It's a fun, little nostalgic snapshot in time that could never happen again

Look the acting is very 80's it's got a predictable storyline but it's good fun to watch. Chuck norris' fighting and poor acting act to its charm.

It's far from Chucks best movie but it's a lot more entertaining than many seem to give it credit for. Maybe it's just me but I enjoyed it all the same.

When Mr. Norris, the former karate champion, isn't using his feet on ill-tempered Indians and Mexicans, he's stomping on the facetious dialogue, which deserves it more.

There are really only two good words to say about this wreck -- Melody Anderson.

Gone With The Twins

A girl fight on top of an unconscious Norris is a fun touch, but wasted wordiness, a stupidly cackling villain, and occult ceremonial mumbo-jumbo bog down the pacing.

Rated: 3/10

a derivative film that feels slapped together and packaged for quick sale. But that doesn't mean I didn't have a blast watching it.

...a palpably worthless relic of the 1980s.
