RIP Chuck Norris

[rangergiff]

Bruce Lee was the bigger star in films but I would argue that Norris brought Martial Arts films to the mainstream audience in America more. One of my heros growing up for sure. Rest in peace sir.

Chuck Norris didn't have a chin. Under his beard there was just another fist.

RIP

Superman wore Chuck Norris pajamas.

Chuck Norris declared himself dead and signed his own death certificate.

The jokes were funny for awhile but the guy never had a good movie and Walker Texas Ranger was horrible as well.

And I suspect the jokes were only good because Norris himself had nothing whatsoever to do with them. His greatest talent was probably just not derailing his own meme-dom while it lasted.

First off, Walker Texas Ranger was a show to get the family involved and to get kids into martial arts, out of gangs, off of drugs, etc. It wasn’t supposed to be a work of art or a gritty crime drama.

As for his movies, he has the arguably the most iconic martial art fight scene in movie history with the legendary Bruce Lee. You obviously haven’t seen his films or have zero taste for good action films. Eye for an Eye, Invasion USA, Silent Rage, Lone Wolf McQuaid, The Hero and the Monster, Missing in Action, Code of Silence, Delta Force, Expendables 2, etc are quality films. May not be your style, but to dismiss his entire body of work is pretty disrespectful. He was a great man.

Come on man. Walker Texas Ranger sucked [shirt]. It was a joke. They used to play clips of it Conan O'Brien for laughs No one got off drugs or out of a gang because of that stupid show. It was for old people.

And you're talking to a guy who loves '80s action films. All those movies you mentioned sucked. Maybe invasion USA, but compared to guys like Charles Bronson, Steven seagal, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Jean Claude Van Dam, whoever, he doesn't come close.

Okay, he had the good Bruce Lee fight scene. I think that had more to do with Bruce Lee than anything. That's not enough for me to care about anything he did for 50 years after that.

He'll be remembered at best for some dumb ironic jokes that were based on him being corny.

Seagal?! The most laughed at actor in the history of film?? Jesus…

So you watched all those movies huh? That’s a lot to view considering you liked none of them lol.

And no, he won’t be remembered for jokes. He’ll be remembered for being an icon in martial arts on top of being one of the most respected and loved actors of our time.

Ok, I have no dog in this fight, but c'mon man, CN was about the most wooden fellow who ever came down the pike. He was also, though - reliable, safe, (probably) Godly (had that vibe), fwtw, and provided a reasonable ROI. Never sh*t any beds. He was a meme before there were memes. He is the meme of memes.

I find that the few people who truly admire Chuck Norris also have high opinions of the WWE and consider it athletic competition. They also obviously have terrible taste in movies. These same people probably think John Wayne was a great American 'actor'. Both of them sucked, better underground.
