When not totalgymizing (the next best thing to free weights, actually!), Chuck Norris interferes with bad boys, spilling their blood and ripping off their guts. That’s quite a mess, as this movie classic so clearly indicates us. Chuck might be the greatest actor that has ever stalked the material plane, but this movie inflicted me immense pain during every minute it lasted. The plot was poor – actually, was there one at all? Chuck is at his very best in Walker, and in the Total Gym commercial, of course, but this movie is crap in it’s purest form. We have indeed seen better Norris than this.
As I have learned since I saw this puky excuse for a movie, it is originally titled as “Silent Rage”. Creepy, but somewhat that seems to even make some minor form of sense after all, as here in Finland it invaded the cinemas in the old 70s with the title “Mieletön Raivo” – “Mindless Rage”, that is. That’s when it crossed my mind for the first time – and has remained there ever since – the idea that Chuck should see a doctor. No man can endure that much pain and survive.

I was very disappointed with this movie. I thought by it being Chuck Norris with the Texas Ranger’s hat, it was going to be like the show on Tv.
“Oops, my bad.” Anyway, if it’s blood and gore you like, this movie is for you. It all starts with the view of a stained-glass window in John Kirby’s room. He appears to be asleep. He awakes to a knock on his door, by a kid. The kid tells him he has a telephone call. He talks to Doc Hamilton, or whatever his name is. He says, “I’m loosing it, I can’t take it.” Kirby is shown with a crazed, yet calm look on his face. He’s sweating a lot, and seems to be bothered by the kids and their mother’s rants. He walked outside to a pile of wood with an axe stuck in it.
What happens next is a no-brainer.
Kirby took the axe to the annoying lady. She hid in her bedroom, screaming like a dummy while he hacked at the door. She managed to get the window open to call to the mailman and tell him to call the police.
Then this chubby guy who stayed there, tried to help the lady by bashing Kirby with a folding chair. The doofus got just what he deserved, a good chop to the forehead.
To tell you the truth, I hated this movie because of its annoying caption that flashed across the screen, whenever someone spoke.
I vaguely remember seeing “Silent Rage” when it was released at my local drive-in…..and seem to remember liking it. That is the problem with seeing a movie at the drive-in though, as the atmosphere at a drive-in lends even the worst films a good aura. So when I picked up “Silent Rage” I was hoping to see a good action flick, lots of karate fighting, and some goofy 80’s action hero banter. And you do get some of Chuck’s patented kick-butt action sequences, specifically against a biker-gang…(how come these violent biker gangs roamed so freely in the 70’s and 80’s?)and an undead would-be serial killer. Unfortunately you are also exposed to the acting of Ron Silver. How or why this guy landed acting jobs is beyond me, even for the schlock that is “Silent Rage”, the entire movie grinds to a halt when Silver is on screen. I don’t know why he populates so many of the action genres movies; “Blue Steel” or “Timecop”, but please Hollywood….don’t let him back in front of the camera, he is not menacing, not sympathetic..just annoying. And speaking of annoying, Stephen Furst as the overweight, dimwitted deputy is so painful to watch. His supposed comedy relief is mind-numbingly stupid, halfway through the movie I was hoping Chuck would just tell him to shut up and slap him in the head! But that all pales in comparison to the truly disturbing spectacle of Chuck Norris doing a love scene! Does anyone really want to see Chuck rolling around half naked in bed with anyone?? I’m sure the producers could have found a better way to pop in the gratuitous boob shot if they had thought about it. The best part of the film is the first 5 minutes when the killer begins to go crazy and decides to take out his landlady. And the fight scenes are okay as well, but not on the level of “Lone Wolf McQuaid” or “Invasion USA”. If you are a die-hard Chuck Norris fan, or if you want to get some buddies over and give this movie the MST3K treatment pick this up….if you want to see a good martial arts action flick pick up “Kill Bill” or “The Octagon” instead.

And, well, it’s a stupid movie.

This is just one of those films you must see if you are a action / horror film fan. A classic!
