Review of Lone Wolf McQuade (1983) by Jay M — 18 Sep 2013

I got this on a Chuck Norris VHS double bill with the slightly superior "Code of Silence". The stock "lone cop versus crimelord and his private army" storyline involves much meddling with Chuck's family, friends and pet wolf (foolish moves!) and builds up to the inevitable final fight, pitting Norris (jeans, vest and headband) versus David ("Kung Fu") Carradine (beige slacks and a diabolical golf sweater).

This ticks all the genre convention boxes with aplomb, especially with regards to the baddie's midget sidekick and some great 'captain-harrassed by-hotheaded-maverick' scenes (take a bow, R.G. Armstrong) to rate with the best of 'em.

Chuck not only drives out of an early grave with the aid of only a truck and a cold beer, but spins around with an Uzi at one point and kills all the petty villains in a 360 degree radius. Boom, baby!
