Who cares? He's Chuck Norris, and he's as Chuck Norris as he's ever been in Forest Warrior, a story about a group of young tree-huggers who embark on a fun-filled camping adventure to "the mountain." But wait, what's this? Ne'er-do-well lumberjacks and bad, meany business men want to log the mountain. Not if Chuck Norris has anything to say about it.
With the help of the bafoonish fighting skills of the antagonists, Chuck Norris saves the day again and again. And each time is more entertaining as he transforms into a hawk, and a wolf, and a bear, and the omnipresent spirit of the mountain, which is always there to lend a hand when situations get sticky.
The acting is awful, the script is worse, and the special effects are laughable. But honestly, what more can we expect from Walker, Texas Ranger? Clad in ill-fitting leather shirts and wielding the power of 100 men, Chuck Norris comes to the rescue, to yet again save America's youth from the greed of big business. Way to go, Mckenna!Forest Warrior [VHS]
To say it in one word:
groundbreaking
I thought I knew what a movie should be. You know, a normal balance of characterization, plot, climax, and perhaps a denouement. Well, Chuck Norris provides us with each of those qualities to a caliber that I have never seen before. It has suspense, mystery, adventure, love, turmoil, and fatigue. People, just pull out your credit card, drag out the dvd converter, and order this gem, you'll thank me later. Film students, you wanna learn how to roundhouse kick the heck out of a film? Ignore that fancy professor who stands in front of you and tells you stuff, order this masterpiece and learn how to make a movie with chest hair. Spirit of the Mountain, protector of the winds, guardian of the trees, eagle of the night, he is, the Forrest Warrior.In Forest Warrior, you'll see Chuck Norris as you've never seen him before! You'll find humor, excitement, and action galore as the forest warrior (Chuck Norris) aids three children in their quest to save the mountain from a greedy lumber mogul who's only interested in the money the trees can bring. You'll want to stand up and cheer when Chuck swoops down (yes, swoops . . . I don't want to take away from the thrill of watching it for the first time) to thwart the enemies of the forest. So unlike his previous movies, Chuck Norris takes a giant leap into an entirely different genre in this movie and it does not disappoint. I wish it would have received better promotion, as it's thoroughly deserving. My highest recommendation!This is one of Chuck's best movies. I have seen it on television several times and enjoyed each and every time I just saw it again today and hoped I could find it to buy.
