Cult Classic action film
The action in this film is very good and the fight scene against the lighted background on the steps is a classic fight scene. This is my favorite Chuck Norris film and if you are a martial arts/action movie fan, then you will like this film. The acting/script is not top quality, but these are not high on my priority list in an action film anyway. There are some great one liners in the film by Chuck too! This movie is well framed in terms of the mistake by the good guys and the bad guys punishment that leads to the good guys fighting back. This leads to the bad guys taking extreme measures that ultimately drives you into the good guys corner as Chuck's character suffers loss resulting in ultimate revenge by the good guys. Really enjoy this film and watch it whenever I see that it is on TV.
No one crosses Chuck Norris and lives !
Above comment would have been another Chuck Norris joke, but in this movie, it's the truth. This is Chuck Norris in his hardest baddest role, and his early career monument to the legend of Chuck Norris.
Chuck shows no mercy to anyone that gets in his way. The unlucky bad guys doesn't realize what they're up against, as Chuck Norris obliterates them one by one. If they had internet in 1982, they would have fled Hong Kong long before Chuck Norris' plane landed there.
Chuck just keeps giving his icy cold glare throughout this movie. There's no charm, or sweetness in his character. He just coldly executes everyone who opposes him.
This is one of the best Chuck Norris movie from the early '80s, and is worth every minute to see it if you're a martial arts or Chuck Norris movie fan.

This movie is so bad, it's good.
Forced Vengeance is another example of an one of those movies that would be unwatchable were it not for all the hilarious scenes. This TBS regular is the story of ex-soldier turned casino security guard, Josh Randall (Norris), who takes on a Hong Kong Syndicate single-handedly after his boss and friend, Sam Paschal (Opatoshu), is murdered by a rival casino owner. (If that in itself doesn't spell hilarity, I don't know what does.) Along with his deadpan narration, this film truly showcases Norris' acting prowess. :) This combined with the incredibly trite dialog leads to some of the funniest moments in the film. "He's sick, verrry sick..." says Randall matter-of-factly to some Hong Kong locals as he kidney-punches a corrupt Inspector who's been hounding him and stuffs him into a car. It just doesn't get any better than this, folks. I love this movie. There are so many funny moments it's worth watching over and over. And I guarantee you'll be quoting some of Randall's lines for weeks afterwards if you give it a chance.
"Chuck Norris kicks the hell out of people in Hong Kong!"
This is one of my favorite Chuck Norris movies. It has one of the best opening scenes ever with the silhouette of Chuck fighting an unknown adversary over a neon background. It looks fantastic and is such an innovative opening scene that really creates a cool atmosphere.
Josh Randall (Chuck Norris) is an ex-Special Forces Vietnam veteran who ends up in Hong Kong after the war, eventually becoming the head of security for the Lucky Dragon Casino, run by fellow American expatriate, Sam Pascal. When Sam is killed by an unscrupulous rival, Josh goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.The film is well paced with plenty of Chuck-related ass whupping and doesn't skimp on the violence either. When Chuck's girlfriend is murdered it's a pretty shocking scene, especially the bad guy's hair and mustache.
Overall, Forced Vengeance is a fun Chuck Norris flick with plenty of fight scenes and action to keep action fans happy. Worth Watching...8 out of 10

the best film of Norris career.
Chuck Norris is not known for his acting chops or his classics. But this one is the best and honest of his pictures. Honest because he knows and the director knows that in order to make an action movie soar is to make it as violent and as simple as this one. Its simple but is told in a very straightforward way. You identify the bad guys, they misbehave, Chuck finds them and kick their asses. The final confrontation between Chuck and the big Chinese guy is done with some realism. Chuck is bloody and angry he is not fighting him in a conventional karate way, he's hitting him with everything he has, he even tries to drown the big fella in a toilet. My favorite by far. Peace.
