Silent Rage (1982)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directed by Michael Miller<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A slasher movie, starring Chuck Norris?\u00a0 Count me in!\u00a0 Silent Rage is an interesting movie, it tries to be many things: a slasher, an action movie, a sci-fi movie, and a martial arts movie.\u00a0 Surprisingly with all those intentions it does fairly well, at least for the slasher subgenre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silent Rage is about a man that had numerous scientific experiments done on him, which causes him to be an unstoppable killing machine.\u00a0 Only one man stands in his way, Chuck Norris.\u00a0 I guess if I was to choose one man to stop a genetically altered, self healing, lunatic it would be Chuck.\u00a0 No one fucks with Chuck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acting is fairly decent, especially for a slasher movie.\u00a0 Chuck Norris is never going to win an Oscar but he\u2019s always likable and charismatic.\u00a0 He was perfect for this role and his sidekick was spectacular, his partner was decent as well ;).\u00a0 Brian Libby plays John Kirby the killer, he\u2019s menacing as hell and always super sweaty.\u00a0 LIke my fat ass this past summer, dear lord Michigan calm down with the 90s degrees and 85% humidity, we are a fat state!\u00a0 Libby\u2019s eyes are scary as hell, he did such a great job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing that was a little unnerving, aside from the killer, was the Chuck Norris sex\/love scene.\u00a0 Not sure I ever needed to see Chuck fooling around with his girlfriend.\u00a0 At least it wasn\u2019t super gratuitous and I\u2019m surprised Chuck did it at all, since he\u2019s a devote Christian.\u00a0 Either way it was uncomfortable haha.\u00a0 Chuck\u2019s deputy was the comedy relief, a bumbling fatty that is dimwitted and kind at heart.\u00a0 Stephen Furst plays deputy Charlie, sadly he is no longer with us.\u00a0 He did a great job of being silly but not groan inducing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kills are really nothing amazing, but they\u2019re effective.\u00a0 The first one where John hacks a woman with an axe as she begs and pleads for her life was intense.\u00a0 Not gory at all but unnerving for its realism.\u00a0 The fight scenes are fun, because its Chuck Norris kicking random bar losers and biker gangs.\u00a0 I laughed out loud at the end where Chuck gives John Kirby the Attitude Adjustment into a well like he\u2019s John Cena.\u00a0 I guess Kirby\u2019s time was up, Chuck\u2019s time is now, you can\u2019t see him, his time is now.\u00a0 Chuck Norris is the only person that can see John Cena.\u00a0 I had to throw in a Chuck joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed this movie.\u00a0 Was it amazing?\u00a0 No, but it definitely was entertaining and I\u2019d probably watch it again.\u00a0 Heck I might even review it on the podcast (Rock Video Rental, shameless plug).\u00a0 I\u2019d give this a solid C+.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
