Product Description

Product Description

A team of undercover narcotics agents is conducting an investigation when things mysteriously begin to go haywire. One by one, the squad members are eliminated by an assassin. To help identify the karate killer, the police enlist the aid of karate champion, Matt Logan (Chuck Norris). Initially disinterested, he is galvanized into action when his adopted son is killed by the villains. He eventually tracks down the serial killer (Bill Wallace), a traitor within the police force, and brings his reign of terror to an end in a no holds barred climactic karate battle between the two men.

Format: Blu-ray
Still best known as a former world champion and for fighting (and losing to) Bruce Lee in Rome's Coliseum in Way of the Dragon at the time, 1979's A Force of One doesn't exactly tax fledgling action star Chuck Norris' limited acting abilities, casting him as a former champion who teaches martial arts who finds himself drawn into a murder case when he agrees to teach various cops self-defence after they start getting killed in the line of duty. Unfortunately his ass-kicking expertise is largely taken on trust for much of the film, which puts more emphasis on his input in the murder investigation - such as the dubious conclusion that the only people capable of breaking a victim's neck must be former Special Forces operatives with martial arts training - than his ability to hit people, which he does surprisingly rarely: following the Bruce Lee formula of having its hero resisting resorting to violence until pushed too far, with only three fights and one kill, this probably has the lowest body count of any of his films. Nor is the final fight, largely held in the ring (who could possibly guess that the killer is his upcoming opponent in a martial arts bout?), particularly well staged or directed. Instead for most of the running time it's a fairly average 70s low-budget cop movie with a decent enough supporting cast (Jennifer O'Neil, Ron O'Neal, Clu Gulager) to try to compensate for the leading man's limitations but stymied by join-the-dots plotting despite a script co-written by French Connection Oscar winner and creator of Shaft Ernest Tidyman. Aimed fairly and squarely at the grindhouse and drive-in circuit, its ambitions are modest and it just about passes muster as a Saturday night with a few beers movie, but it's pretty forgettable stuff.Read more ›

The Octagon / A Force of One

Distributor : Anchor Bay Entertainment (UK)

Considering the wealth of Chuck Norris jokes available online it becomes increasingly difficult to seriously review his movies without instantly referencing any of the material available.

Both of the movies reviewed here originate from the late 70's/early 80's Chuck Norris era (minus the beard) where he was just beginning to acquire a strong fan base which would ultimately result in a string of movies being released right up to the new millennium at the rate of at least one film per year. Chuck was certainly kept busy through this period and produced some memorable movies (some for more obvious reasons than others) all of which were pretty entertaining if not taken too seriously and together made up a decent wedge of some the best classic actioners of the time.

The Octagon tells the story of a terrorist organisation training Ninja assassins to do their bidding with Chuck Norris being the only one who can stop the killings. The film builds to a climactic showdown set within an 8 sided arena with Chuck vs an army of masked killers although there will be no prizes for guessing how this one turns out.

Presented fully uncut including a number of sequences involving lethal Ninja weapons which the BBFC previously took exception to, The Octagon showcases a 1080p 1.78:1 transfer which is actually a lot better than may have been expected. Detail is sharp and reasonably strong throughout, colours are vibrant and black levels show an impressive amount of depth throughout the proceedings.

As a martial artist myself I am a big Chuck Norris Fan and have been a watcher of his films since The Good Guys Wear Black.A Force of One will never win any awards for its script but the fight scenes,arranged by Chuck himself,probably with a little help from brother Arron were first class for their time and contain top class martial arts action both in and out of the ring,without the silly noises of the Chinese Chop Sock Kung Fu films of the time.
At the time this was released you could see that the 6 time undefeated World Karate Champion was still struggling with his actual acting but he more than makes up for it with his actions and lets face it with Chuck that's what most fans want.I'm just starting to replace all of my CN videos with their DVD equivalents as I find them and as this has always been one of my personal favorites it was the first.More will follow as there's nothing better than a good old Chuck film.Plenty of action without the gratuitous sex and bad language of more modern films.

This Is An Excellent Transfer Of A Great Early Norris Flick. The New Cleaned Up HD Audio Is Excellent, & The Video Is Also Looking Great In HD, I Love The Fact That The Video Still Has Some Minor Age Spots, Giving It A Totally Classic Feel. The Film Itself Features A Bad Plot But Is Saved By It's Script, Atmosphere & Martial Arts Scenes.

A Force of one is a very good action film. and if you love seeing Chuck Norris kick ass then you will love him in this film.

The Blu-ray quality is very nice it gets a 4/5, but the sound which you can have in 5.1 DTS Master Audio is awful, it was that bad I turned it off and changed it to 2.0 Stereo, now I did have to turn my sound system up but it was ten times better. But still this is a great film.

You get 45 minutes of bonus features.
