GGWB was the first film in which Chuck Norris played the leading charecter and while most Norris fans agree that Chuck was still finding his feet with the dialogue,after letting his martial arts skills do his talking in Way Of The Dragon with his good friend and sometime training partner,the late great Bruce Lee,who will ever forget or equal the epic battle between them in the Colluseum in Rome,where the 6 times undefeated world Karate champion allowed his friend to beat and kill him on screen in one of the most theatrical backdrops in the world.
When this film was being made Chuck was still teaching Karate to stars like Steve McQueen and James Coburn,while taking acting lessons,which showed a bit for anyone who wasn't concentrating on his brilliant figting skills and the stunts.The most memorable stunt for me,which was repeated many years later in Walker Texas Ranger,was his running jump and side kick through the windscreen of a moving car to take out Sun Tec Ho.Yes the screen may have been made out of Hollywoods toffee glass which smashes easily but theres no mistaking the energy or skill need for the leap and kick.
Chuck Norris fought with every tool at his disposal to get backers for this film and never gave up.For those of us who are Chuck Norris fans thank goodness he's as good a fighter in the business arena as he was on a mat or this film and all the others that followed would never have been made.While not as good as A Force of One or Lone Wolf MQuade this is still one of my favorite Chuck films because it was the first.

This is a really tough one to rate fairly.

Chuck Norris isn't a meat head and when the proper acting roles came knocking he plumped for this thriller rather than an all out action picture. Sadly though, his acting ability didn't match his ambition and rather than a string of intriguing political thrillers such as this one, he switched track and attained massive success with Karate movies instead. I saw this years ago and remembered it fondly and after tracking it down for a second viewing I was disappointed because it offered far less than I'd remembered.

Years after their action in the Vietnam conflict, someone is bumping off members of an elite CIA kill squad called the Black Tigers. As a former member of the unit it's up to Chuck Norris to bring the killings to an end. The script has a decent crack at a political thriller with action overtones and barely survives Chuck's wooden acting. Thankfully, there are a couple of good action scenes in there but even a flying kick through a windscreen seems a little tame by today's standards. Ann Archer livens the proceedings to a certain extent and whilst it isn't great, the movie does get from A-Z in brisk enough fashion.

I quite like Chuck Norris and his films but even as a fan i can't rate this, one of his first films, very highly. When you think of Chuck Norris you think of gripping fight scenes, gunfights and explosions, but in this there is very little of that, and its more of a drama than a martial arts movie.
Chuck Norris plays Major John Booker who leads a top secret mission into Vietnam to rescue American POW's however they are set up and some of the team get killed. The ones that do get out alive go on to lead very seperate lives, Booker in particular test drives porches and teaches political science. However, one day a nice lady lawyer turns up on his doorstep and starts telling him all the top secret infomation of their mission, some of which even he doesn't know. Booker learns that he, and the other men on the mission are now next on the CIA's it list, but can he find out who's double crossed them before they are all killed.
As i have said, there are very little fight scenes for saying that its supposed to be a martial arts movie and what few there are are not particularly well choriographed, unlike many of Chuck's other films. The scenes in the dark at the begining where the troops are n Vietnam are so dark and so poor quality that it is virtually impossible to make out what is supposed to be happening.
Overall, 'Good Buys Wear Black' i found was rather dissappointing, however should please die-hard fans of Chuck Norris. For saying that it was a very low budget film, and it is quite old, i guess its not bad, and at such a low price you could give it ago, but just don't expect too much and you might find it alright.

There is no doubting Norris's professional abilities in martial arts, but with many such films, the acting quality is not of the highest quality, and the film is now somewhat dated. It is still a good yarn and will appeal to all Norris fans, and probably the older generation, who remember it first came out.
