    My first Chuck Norris flick (save Sidekicks) and I gotta say, I didn't miss much.
    I mean this film is basically worth watching for yucks only. There are some incredible unintentional laughs (ie Chucks inner monologue (that appears an absurd amount) posseses an echoey whisper to ...( read more)it that just kills me). I never realised how gentle souled Chuck seems either. Plus, in 2008, the presence of ninjas in a film is just ridiculous.
    This sucker was a hoot, but I know I didn't miss much with the lack of Norris in my childhood.
    P.S. The joke that Chuck has no chin, that under his beard is just another fist, is sadly debunked in this film as he only has a creepy mustache.

    There's too little action and it isn't good enough to compensate for this movies countless shortcomings.

    Beyond cheese, but it's Chuck, so you have to love it on some level, right?

    This was pretty good for a Chuck Norris film. The whispering voice over was unintentionally funny, they should have cut that as it didn't work.
