Chuck Norris (“The Delta Force”, “Firewalker”) stars in “Lone Wolf McQuade”, which is a pretty enjoyable film. It’s been compared to the Spaghetti Westerns starring Clint Eastwood such as “A Fistful Of Dollars” and I can see why but I wouldn’t have necessary made the comparison.

In “Lone Wolf McQuade”, Norris plays a tough Texas Ranger (I think I know where Norris got the idea for the television show “Walker Texas Ranger”) by the name of McQuade. He finds himself taking on a bunch of bad guys as he moves from one scene to another, dishing out some harsh karate moves and doing so with some serious style.

Chuck Norris is far from being the best action star but he fits the bill perfectly here and his karate skills are highly impressive. McQuade likes to drink, he doesn’t like taking orders from his superiors and he’ll stop at nothing to get the job; he’s pretty much like Eastwood’s Harry Callaghan. David Carradine plays the main villain and he’s entertaining. Barbara Carrera (“Never Say Never Again”) is the love interest and she’s pretty entertaining. Some of the other characters were okay but none of them were fascinating or anything like that.

“Lone Wolf McQuade” features Norris being buried alive, hanging onto a speeding car and downing more than his fair share of beer; it’s the kind-of action movie that is nice and easy to just sit and watch. It’s certainly an improvement over some of Chuck Norris’ other films such as “Sidekicks” but I still prefer his film “The Delta Force”. If you’re a fan of Norris and haven’t seen this then I think you should definitely see it, if you like action films in general and it sounds somewhat impressive then you should probably see it and if you couldn’t care less about action films then you’re reading about the wrong film for you.
