3. Delta Force 2: The Columbian Connection
A fucking classic. Casablanca. Citizen Kane. The Godfather. And then Delta Force 2: The Columbian Connection.

Never mind that they never go to or mention Columbia the whole time. It's just a great flick all around.

5. Walker Texas Ranger is the funniest show ever.....
I'm serious. Watch it and you will be in tears laughing so hard. It's nearly as funny as Arrested Development, The Simpsons and The Family Guy without even trying to be.

It is so corny and fake and the fights are just garbage, that you will nearly die laughing at it. And, that Norris sings the theme song only adds to the festivities. One episode - it was Christmas - Walker beat up several people linked to a bank robbery, saved the bank money, got two gang members to stop from shooting each other by reciting the bible, delivered presents to orphans, saved a dying priest and delivered a baby. It was like a whole season of Seinfeld all in one. The laughs just kept coming.

I have only saw Walker lose in a fight once, and to be fair, the guy he was fighting was part Bear, so Walker was saved from a humiliating loss to a Bear Man, when another bear jumped in and fought Bear Man for Walker. Good times.

The President's Man: A Line in the Sand

Chuck Norris mentors a special ops recruit to kick terrorist ass. So bad.

11. Actually Chuck Norris is a nice guy
Apparently Clarence Gillyard is the "jesus freak". I like the walker episodes where he relies on his Native american heritage.

Yeah, he's a bush supporter, but I actually think he is a closet liberal. He (on the show) address juvenille justice, homelessness, and felons able to rehabilitate.

The one thing I find dishonest about him is that Walker is supposedly a former Marine and Delta Force is special forces, while Norriss served in the Air Force. Marines don't consider anyone not a Marine a REAL soldier. LOL

I'll take Norris over the Governator any day of the week. Ahnold sucks the big one!

12. I've never met him but I know one of his long-time associates
and have met a few others who know Chuckie: consensus seems to be that he's a dude who is pretty much good through and through. His autobiography ("The Secret Of Inner Strength," I think it is) is interesting -- he came through a lot to get where he got and anyone who remembers or (after the fact, like me) knows anything of his amazing career in the ring will appreciate that he paid his dues and fought a long, uphill struggle the hard way.

Republican or not, or patriot who mistakenly believes that patriotism entails supporting the president, he's an inspiration in many ways...and check out his physical condition, not only great for a man in his 60s but great for a man of any age:



One Chuck movie I remember liking (some of the martial-arts one were fun, at least, too) was "Hero And The Terror," wherein Chuck plays against type as a non-heroic type (alongside Pam Grier). Haven't seen it in years, but I recall it being quite decent, even within the constraints of his rather limited acting range -- he's actually a pretty good physical comedian, I think. "Sidekicks" was enjoyable, too. I'm not a particular fan of his movies, but they have their place. I haven't even seen dubious classics like "Invasion USA," "Delta Force," and the "MIA" series (other than a few bits and pieces here and there as I flick through channels).

9. Walker, Texas Ranger is the greatest show on television
It is simply hilarious and awesome. I love it! It is so damn funny. The dialouge is priceless.

14. People in other countries probably...
..think Texas is under the thumb of International Male-clad drug lords, based on watching Walker, Texas Ranger.

15. The best episode I have seen
It was about this evil woman smuggling Mexicans into the states so that she could force them to fight to the death, and her rich friends would get together and bet on the Mexicans. Walker TOTALLY smashed a bunch of people. It was hysterical.
