FlashCallahan Three years ago, Danny O'Brien had single-handedly captured killer Simon Moon, also known as The Terror, and was called Hero by the people of L.A. Now Simon has escaped and has started killing women again by holding their heads and making them look to the right quickly, and O'Brien is the only man who can stop him....If you like Chuck Norris in romantic/disturbed mode, and the films of Cannon, you are in for a treat with this one.Norris plays the every man cop who has a wonderful line of knitwear, and has visions so bad about catching his nemesis, he stares really angrily at kitchen appliances.When Non from Superman II escapes from his cell by using the power of dental floss and and sediment, and so it's up to Norris to don his uniform consisting of denim once more, and put The Terror to sleep once more.Steve James pops up to do the strangest workout in cinema history, by running around an empty cinema screen, but luckily, The Terror makes this insanity stop by making him look to the right ever so quickly.If you are looking for Norris in full on martial arts mode, you won't fine anything here, other than him kicking the bloke from The Taking Of Beverly Hills into the ocean.But it's a well made thriller, Norris does a good job of looking perplexed, and The Terror is almost supernatural in his strength.There are plenty of laughs, intentional and unintentional, and I'm sure it's the only film where you see Chuck faint.If you are a fan of the man and the cannon Group, this is a must...

adonis98-743-186503 Danny O'Brien is back in action fighting the notorious Simon Moon, also known as The Terror. Three years earlier O'Brien had single-handedly captured The Terror and was called Hero by the people of L.A. Now Simon has escaped and has started killing women again, and O'Brien is the only man who can stop him. The Problem with this film is mostly the killer the way he breaks the necks of all this people is over the top and kinda dumb. The acting is OK nothing spectacular and Chuck Norris let's face it his memes are funny but his acting or his movies are in the same dumb list as the ones of Steven Seagal honestly he isn't that much of a great action star but this movie is OK for the most part nothing crazy about it

Scott LeBrun "Hero and the Terror" is pretty good as Chuck Norris cinema goes. It's more along the lines of his 1982 vehicle "Silent Rage", as it's really more of a thriller than an action film; therefore, some fans may find it disappointing.Chuck doesn't do too much ass kicking this time around in this attempt to play a different sort of character, and to his credit he pulls it off, playing Danny O'Brien, a detective who earned the nickname "Hero" when he apprehended vicious serial killer Simon Moon, a.k.a. "The Terror" (boxer turned actor Jack O'Halloran, perfectly cast). Danny's always felt guilty about the subsequent praise as he knows what really happened is that he got lucky. Naturally, by the time this movie is over, he'll have realized that this is one demon he will have to exorcise, in order to deal with his nightmares.Brynn Thayer is foxy and feisty as his leading lady Kay (who was Danny's psychiatrist!), and the late, great Steve James is his usual charismatic self as Danny's colleague Bill; James simply steals the scenes whenever he's on screen. Also appearing are Ron O'Neal (Superfly is the mayor of L.A. in this thing!), Jeffrey Kramer of "Jaws" 1 and 2, Joe Guzaldo (who acted with Chuck in "Code of Silence"), Murphy Dunne of the Blues Brothers Band as the theatre manager, ravishing Playboy Playmate Karen Witter as Hollywood starlet Ginger, Tony DiBenedetto, and the always delicious Billy Drago, Chuck's nemesis in the second "Delta Force" movie, as a highly unlikely psychiatrist.The real-life Wiltern theatre makes for an impressive setting, and there is some decently done suspense in this thing. The music by David M. Frank fits the tone of the movie with its somber quality. Any and all action scenes are rather perfunctory. Still, Chuck and the cast & crew deserve some credit for doing something a little different; you don't see him in the position of actually being intimidated by his opponent too often, although, again, this might not sit will with some action fans watching.In any event, it's enjoyable stuff, with a screenplay co-written by former actor Michael Blodgett ("Beyond the Valley of the Dolls"), who does an uncredited bit in an extended restaurant scene.Eight out of 10.

gavin6942 I picked this film up from the local Family Video on sale for $1.50, which was probably the first sign it wasn't going to be good. Watching it with 2 friends, neither of them even wanted to finish it because of how awful this movie is. I, strangely, couldn't stop watching it. But this film is definitely a textbook case of how not to make a movie.The plot is simple enough and sounds great: Chuck Norris has nightmares about a serial killer he put behind bars. The serial killer escapes and his nightmares begin to become reality once more. Serial murder, Norris, roundhouse kicks... this sounds like a great film.And some of it is pretty good. The flashback scene where a man breaks a ladder with his teeth is intense, a scene where a van cascades off a cliff and gets crushed is amazing -- and I learned how to break out of prison using nothing more than Chapstick, gun powder and dental floss. But there is plenty wrong with this movie.One: the editor is a moron. When making an action or suspense film, you have to keep the energy moving. There are far too many scenes that are not crucial to the plot left in this movie, slowing it down and distracting from the overall story. At least 10 minutes could have been cut and the pacing would have improved and the film would be slightly better. Two: The sound guy is a moron. Apparently somebody tried to film most of this movie in an area where you can't get decent sound, so most of the dialog is voiced over, killing the stereo and not lining up with mouths. Also, the music is far too dramatic in some scenes. Three: The casting director is a moron. They cast Billy Drago as a psychiatrist. Billy Drago is a great cult actor (from Brisco County, the Hills Have Eyes, and others) and would have made the proper serial killer or some sort of villain. His character is so vanilla that Drago's skills are wasted. Four: The writer is a moron. Two plots are in this film - the hunting of a serial killer and the romance between Norris and his pregnant girlfriend. Every time I saw that woman on screen, I wanted to claw my eyes out. And sure enough, she never figured into the other plot, making her story completely pointless.Will I ever watch this again? Maybe. But unless they remaster this film at least a dozen times, you never should. Not recommended.
