Booker, a Vietnam vet who finds out that several of his army buddies lost their lives in a mission that was intended to fail. Seeking answers, Booker quits his school-teaching job and tracks down the surviving members of his unit. One by one, his old friends are being knocked off by sinister forces, orchestrated by a crooked, and legally untouchable, politician. Amidst a plethora of martial arts, gunfire and explosions, the film briefly pauses for a comic-relief scene involving over-aged bellboy Jim Backus. Good Guys Wear Black did so well at the box-office that it warranted a sequel, A Force of One (1979). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Lori Hoffman, Atlantic City Weekly
One of the better Chuck Norris action flicks

Typical early-career Norris chop-socky cop stuff.

Cool shot of heroic John T. Booker (Chuck Norris) kicking a windshield of a moving car, though I found out somewhere that was Chuck's brother doing the amazing stunt. It's true!

Another good Chuck movie for his fans. You have to be a fan of his cause he cant act. Over all a good action flick.
