This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
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
(Credit to [email protected])Josh Randall works for the owner of a Hong Kong based casino and is treated like a son. When the owner is approached by someone who's connected and wants to buy his casino, the man refuses the offer. Later the owner and son are killed. Josh then gets the man's daughter and tries to protect her. Later Josh is pursued by the police and anyone who helps is killed. Josh tries to get to the people who did it.I actually like Chuck Norris. He may not be the best actor, but I do find him to be entertaining. That being said, a lot of his earlier movies are horrendous. Sadly, Forced Vengeance falls under that category. It's extremely boring with way too many talky scenes for my liking. It just feels so cheap without much thought put into it. I'll name a few examples. There is a slow motion fight scene with Norris facing a baddie in the opening credits, only with shadows. It happens again around the 50 minute mark (!) I also felt Norris wasn't at his best fighting wise. He gives a standard performance at this juncture, but he usually makes it up for it with his skills. Aside from the David Vs Goliath fight at the end, the fights are relatively tame. This was a really boring movie that doesn't have much to offer. I'm actually shocked by the 5.5 rating! I honestly don't see how it should be rated that highly. If you're a Norris fan, you can do MUCH better.3/10
I understand that most of Norris movies aren't good . I like some of them . Sometimes you just meet yourself a movie when nothing is good . And I mean NOTHING.Here we have a movie where Chuck Norris has to avenge his boss – the owner of casino . I don't think I'm spoiling anything here. Anyway basically the whole movie is like this : Norris beats a bad guy , then he asks him "Did you order to kill my boss", the answer is no and the bad guy gives our hero a location of other bad guy . Norris goes there , beats him , asks the question and the whole thing repeats . It will take many bad guys and many minutes of boredom before Norris will meet the final boss , kill him and the movie will end.I don't mind a simple revenge movie , if it's done right. This one isn't . It's boring like hell. The only thing interesting are the silhouettes fighting near the neon signs. I give it 1/10.
Being a champion in the martial arts has its perks. In "Forced Vengeance", it says it all. Chuck Norris plays Josh Randall, head of security in a Hong Kong casino where the son of it's original owner works. When Josh returns with money owed from a California gambler, he sees David Pascal (Frank Michael Liu) fire a worker for skimming, and make him leave without his pants. Josh would later visit the original owner, Sam (David Opatachu). When David and Sam meets a competing casino owner (Michael Cavanaugh) who gives him an offer, Sam refuses. Josh puts his martial arts action into overdrive when the father and son are murdered. He would later take it to the max when his girlfriend and Army buddy gets attacked. The big goon gets his just desserts for raping and killing Randall's girlfriend. And for the inspector (Lloyd Kino), he helped Josh after finding out about his partner Keck (Jimmy Shaw) worked for the crime boss. The staircase fight scene was classic, short and swift. Hong Kong was a big place, and it really put Las Vegas to shame. "Forced Vengeance" is really high impact, and it's a Chuck Norris classic all the way. 4 out of 5 stars
