      Audience Member The one and only Chuck Norris vs a sort of Frankenstein-esque antagonist A murderer John Kirby loses his mind one day using an axe and the sheriff Dan Stevens brings him down Kirbys body is then donated to science with three doctors using a special drug It has special properties even bringing the dead back to life...this proves to be a fatal mistake as Kirby is resurrected From then on he starts a killing spree with Dan attempting to stop him once and for all Ordinarily this would be a horror movie scenario meets classic monster movie, it sounds pretty B-movie related But the filmmakers avoid the cheesy factor making the experience pretty fun Chuck Norris meets his match fighting an enemy that he can't bring down Perhaps too much emphasis on Dans romance could've been trimmed down Getting to the kills faster and not focusing too much on the doctors self-absorbed hubris of perfecting man would've been nice too The whole rivalry of Norris vs this resurrected killer is the major selling point The ending is where things get very exciting despite the rest of the film feeling like a slog to get there The most dedicated Chuck Norris fans will love this For everyone else it's a passable action chiller blending two elements you wouldn't normally see together Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review David W A Chuck Norris actioner with elements of sci-fi and horror. It's a very watchable movie that fans of the great man will gobble up. It was obviously an attempt by the studio to move Chuck into a more mainstream genre of movie and isn't really a martial arts film, despite there being a few good fight scenes. Looking back at it, Chucks character is almost a prototype Walker Texas Ranger but with an 18 certification. Brian Libby is excellent as the Michael Myers-esque central villain, Ron Silver provides his usual classy established actor support and Chuck himself is emminently watchable as ever in his first movie for a major studio. Also stars a young, pre-Babylon 5, Stephen Furst. A guilty pleasure movie for me and one I've rewatched and enjoyed with friends on many occasions. Even my wife begrudgingly enjoyed it. Another perfect Friday night with the lads and a few beers Norris special. Chuck vs. Frankenstein/Micheal Myers as some have not unreasonably called it. Shame there wasn't a sequel. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/21/23 Full Review Daryl S Good Friday night watch. This is a Chuck Norris meets Michael Myers of Halloween 2. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review TK G Pure Chuck Norris Adrenaline in this action horror masterpiece. A very witty script, although the dialog might not be the best. The bar fight scene has come to be known as a classic A$$ Kicking Chuck Norris takes on a biker gang. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Babu Z You have to realize this movie was made in 1982. Most of you weren't born. Love Chuck Norris! I love this movie. The story, the suspense, humor. You can't compare it to today or even 20yrs ago. It's a great Popcorn movie, in that you just let yourself go and be in it. Have fun. I think a great thriller, if you don't have to pick it apart. I not saying greatest movie ever, but back then it was scary, and fun, and suspenful. 1982 people Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Another underrated film. More enjoyable when not taken too seriously. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
