A good Chuck Norris vehicle playing a two-fisted Texas Ranger against the heinous villain David Carradine
27 September 2021
The picture is plenty of action-packed , tension , suspense and cheesy sub-plot , to boot with wild stunts . This time Chuck Norris is a tough Texas Ranger taking on a nasty gunrunner , David Carradine , while he falls in love for a suspicious widow : Barbara Carrera . Along the way, McQuade holds several risks , dangerous confrontation , kidnapping his daughter , friends' murder, his own burying and anything else. Whether it comes to fighting...or loving...or killing...There's No One like J. J. McQuade. The 'Mad Dog' Criminal...The 'Lone Wolf' Lawman...The Ultimate Showdown. Chuck Norris is Lone Wolf McQuade. David Carradine is the man that got in his way. When Norris meets Carradine all hell breaks loose!

A nice Chuck Norris recital with thrills , noisy action, hot pursuits , fights , nail-biting action scenes , and lots of violence . The film is really influenced by Spaghetti Western subgenre , including ordinary shootouts in italian style , violent standoff and great musical score by Francesco De Massi in the wake of Ennio Morricone soundtracks . The movie displays a plethora of martial art fights , as Norris faces enemies by means of punches , kicks-asses , slaps , leaps with struggles certainly slickly choreographed . It's violent , frenetic and hectic and not particularly literary but worthy entry in the genre . Here Chuck Norris as an army man proves his fighting skills and his portentous figure as an action hero . The film belongs to Norris' best period , during the 80s , such as : ¨Code of silence¨ , ¨Delta Force¨ , ¨Silent rage¨ , ¨Octagon¨ , ¨Forced vengeance¨ ,¨ Force of one¨ , among others with successful box-office in cinema theaters as video-rentals . In the 90s and 2000s with exception of ¨Walker Texas Ranger¨, the Norris star has gone down . He's well accompanied by a good cast , including the following ones : David Carradine as the extremely villainous contender , Barbara Carrera as the gorgeous damsel , Robert Beltran as the rookie cop , Len Isaac Kennedy , the veteran L. Q. Jones , Dana Kimmell , R. G. Armstrong , Sharon Farrell, Daniel Frishman , William Sanderson, among others .

The motion picture was professionally directed by Steve Carver. This craftman recently deceased due to complications from COVID-19 . He was a good director who made all kinds of genres and an expert on action/thriller genre such as : ¨Capone¨, ¨Big Bad Mama¨, ¨Steel¨, Drum¨ and directed two successful hits for Chuck Norris as ¨Lone McQuade¨ and ¨An eye for eye¨. His last films have been failed as ¨The wolves¨, ¨Dead center¨ and ¨River of death¨ . Rating : 6/10 , well worth watching .
