Ok down at the bottom where nobody probably reads. Wow…Chuck’s movie career is statistically one of the worst that we have ever done a UMR page on. His average critic & audience rating is in the bottom 10 (9th worst average). His average UMR Score is the 2nd worst in our database. Only three of his movies reached the “fresh” rating of 60%. None of his movies crossed the $100 million adjusted domestic mark. None of his movies earned an Oscar® nomination. But seeing that the fear of spiders is arachnophobia, fear of tight spaces is claustrophobia, and the fear of Chuck Norris is called Logic. I will just wish Mr. Norris a Happy Birthday.
If you do a comment….please ignore the email address and website section.
I cut my teenage teeth to chuck movies. He was never mainstream and not the best of actors, but there was something about him. Probably my all-time fave action hero and above greats such as Stallone, Van damme, Arnie ( ill be damned if i can spell his surname) Segal, Dolph and willis etc…. Stand out movies are Mcquade, Code. Forced vengence and eye for an eye. I also remember seeing A force of one and Silent rage as a double bill at the movies way back. Just fun to watch and incredibly nostalgic. A great wee internet tribute, thanks.
Well, I like Chuck Norris’s movies – lots of action and then some. So you and Bryan share the same birthday – I remember that. I have seen most of his movies and of course the TV Series is still on reruns – guess he makes some money on that as well. It would be interesting to see what kind of money one makes on reruns on TV and then again movies – I KNOW – AN OLD RECORD FOR ME. It is usually on at 10 pm on TV at least five times a week. THANKS FOR THIS SITE AS WELL.
Hey BERN1960…March 10th is such a good day!….lol. Bryan, Chuck, me and don’t forget Goldie. One day I will write a page for you on residuals. About the only thing I have found on that subject is some stuff on how much the cast of Friends get for the re-runs. One day…maybe we will know more. Thanks for stopping by.
Why is Delta Force so low? That is one of his best.
Hey Puffy 4 Ever….I agree Delta Force is one of his better and best known movies. Had an issue….but your comment got that fixed…..as it moves from 21st place to a Top 5 spot….that seems more likely. Thanks for the comment.
Hey, Happy Birthday to you, Bruce!
I’ve been enjoying your work and wish you all the success you deserve. Best wishes to your son as well.
Breen
Thanks for the very kind words, Breen. It has been a good day….for both me and my son. Thanks for stopping by.
Happy Birthday Chuck, Bruce and Son of Bruce. I had to giggle at Flora’s reaction to your Chuck Norris facts, in fact I’m still ‘chuck’ling. Chuck went skydiving and his parachute failed to open, so he took it back the next day for a refund. Chuck Norris can delete the Recycling Bin. Chuck knows Victoria’s Secret.
Flora watched The Delta Force! ‘gasps’ I’m betting Lee Marvin had something to do with that. 🙂
Okay down to business I’ve seen…. 19 of the 22 films you’ve listed here, the three I’ve missed are Breaker Breaker, Sidekicks and Top Dog. My favorite of the bunch is Way of the Dragon, Bruce Lee was an idol of mine in my youth. Other favorites include – Delta Force, Invasion USA, Code of Silence and Lone Wolf McQuade.
Expendables 2 tops the UMR and Box Office, fair enough it was packed with stars but Norris wasn’t in it much but it was good seeing him together with the other action icons.
Way of the Dragon tops the critics chart, nice. For what it’s worth since you’re never going to do a Bruce Lee page, Enter the Dragon is my favorite Bruce Lee film followed by Fist of Fury (US title Chinese Connection), Way of the Dragon (US title Return of the Dragon), The Big Boss (US title Fists of Fury) and Game of Death (which was finished after Lee’s death).
Good work Bruce, enjoyed the facts and the stats. Voted Up.
Hey Steve. Thanks for the birthday wishes and for stopping by our latest page. 19 Chuck movies watched for you….I am at 7…though pretty sure I have seen more. I actually saw Invasion USA and Firewalker in theaters. Actually I remember how packed Firewalker was on it’s opening weekend…but word of mouth killed that movie quickly.
Code of Silence is a pretty good movie. Lone Wolf has some moments. I have not seen Delta Force….ok maybe I have seen a few minutes of it..but not enough to count in the tally count. Maybe one day I will do a Bruce Lee page…..not thinking he has that many movies. Glad Flora’s comment made you laugh.
If Chuck Norris was a Spartan in the movie 300, the movie would be called 1.
Chuck Norris wears sunglasses so that his eyes won’t hurt the sun.
When Chuck Norris works out he doesn’t get stronger, the machine does.
