What an 80's rush! It's going to be difficult to pass on this one. We shall see.

What an 80's rush! It's going to be difficult to pass on this one. We shall see.

If you want to make it easier to pass, just rewatch the first five minutes of the film.

I've only watched one Chuck Norris movie before - Way of the Dragon - but I'm going to give this MIA trilogy a go because it looks bad in a good way, or good in a bad way. It's hard to say which.

Did he really survive being blown up by two grenades, or was that a dream?

I guess being Chuck (E. Cheese) Norris there's no valid reason why he couldn't have survived.


The KP figure looks good though.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Ha! The 80's were my decade as far as movies and music. Cheesy was a plus!

I love '80 movies - Aliens, ESB, ROTJ, ROTLA, TOD, TLC, Spacehunter, BTTF, Gremlins, Risky Business, the Brat Pack films, etc.

The '80s 'posing tough guy' genre - Conan the Barbarian, Predator, Rambo, Cobra, etc - not so much.

 

[Mike86]

I’ve never seen the movie but the figure looks pretty great.

How can people watch comic movies but never watched 80s movies? Give me 80s cheese over whatever modern movies are.
Chuck Norris is a must... especially from kaustic. Day 1 preorder.

 

[Asta]

Modern cheese be like, "Do you even lift, bro?"

80's cheese be like, "I lift more than you, bro."

80's Chuck Norris be like, "Hey, pansies, try this."

If I was continuing to collect 1/6 Vietnam War I'd definitely be in for Chuck.

KP is such a random company you never know what's coming next. I'm in for Hondo and 'Lassie'.

 

[Asta]

I started getting drawn into the film once he returned to post-war Vietnam.

I wonder if KP will have a deluxe version with an extra sculpt and clothes for ninja Norris?

 

[karamazov80]

I'm not a big Norris fan, but seeing this makes me wonder why more collectors/companies haven't gone for this kind of thing before. He's definitely iconic, in his way, as an '80s action star.

 

[Asta]

Finished the first film. It actually wasn't as awful as the first nine minutes suggested.

The IMDB rating is accurate.

Kept thinking of Jack Tucker as Jock from Raiders of the Lost Ark, sitting out on the water as Braddock's getaway pilot.

This was a funny fluke - a headlamp surround on the Jeep fell off and ended up hanging on the bumper:

Spoiler

Next up: Missing in Action 2 - The Beginning.

Chuck Norris is so bad@$$, COVID got vaccinated for him.

Hoping for an extra head. Maybe a bloody version. I don't remember if he was bloodied, but it would make sense to have one extra head.
