Walker, Texas Exorcist......

Warning: Spoilers
Shatter and Jackson are two Chicago police officers, investigating the brutal murder of a rabbi whom are summoned to Israel for questioning.

While they are in Israel they continue their investigation on some leads they have. After a while they begin to understand that they are trying to catch a supernatural being.

And if they don't do it fast something terrible will happen, like really bad special effects........

Cannon and Norris were always the perfect collaboration in the eighties, like the pound shop version of De Niro and Scorcese. So when this was announced as the last film that they would work together on, they wanted to make the last one just that little bit special.

So it's basically Chuck Norris versus Satan, and if that sounds like your cup of tea, wait until you meet Shatters partner, and Shatter's wardrobe.

This is Norris in the mid-nineties, and it's obvious he's trying to get down with the kids with his style. He has a really wonderful mullet, and his clothes are straight from the 'Don Johnson in Miami Vice' section of JC Penny's.

However, the are some major flaws in the film, and it's all down to the comic relief of his partner Calvin, played by someone called.........Calvin.

His portrayal is totally un-PC, and looking back on it, this chap must feel dreadful for really bringing down his ethnic culture. But it was the nineties, and everybody liked to laugh at self deprecating supporting actors.

Norris kicks and punches his way around Isreal, until his fight with the end of game bad guy whom looks like a cross between Nosferatu and Stephen Lang.

If the supernatural element wasn't there, this would be a very boring sub-standard action film, but seeing as it's Norris versus The Dark Lord, it has to be seen.

And the Arnie made End Of Days....
