josh-621-47927 This is the greatest movie ever made. After this one, filmmakers should have just given up. It has everything. Explosions, gunfire, and Chuck Norris!The bad guys hatch a scheme to invade the USA. But there's one thing they didn't bargain for. That's right! They didn't bargain for Chuck Norris! It's got some great action, did I mention explosions? And lots of Chuck Norris kicking the crap out of bad guys. It's a great movie for the whole family.

kingtambo Now when you think action star in current times Chuck Norris is not in the top 10 but in the 1980s he was probably in the top 5. This movie was one of his classics that really exemplified what 1980s action was. They destroyed a real neighborhood in this movie (the development was set for demolition so they let the film makers destroy it). This movie had the classic bad guys doing horrible things, trying to take over and only one man can stop them, that's right Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris' character is a retired Black ops/special forces type who retired and disappeared because of all the stress he had endured from his job. But when the really bad guys start making their move, the government sends for their number one guy. Chuck is a one man wrecking crew in this. He seems to dodge every bullet that comes at him but all his bullets hit their mark. They really went the extra mile in the finale of this movie, the way the top bad guy goes out is so good they used it again in a Charles Bronson 'Death Wish' movie which was made by the same producers. If you know about Cannon Films, this is one of their crown jewels.

DamianThorn From September 11th 2001 to the Boston Bombing. From mass slaughter of school children to ruthless drug cartels trying to move North into the US and Canada right down to homegrown terrorists seeking some "vengeance" for a cause because their angry at the government, this film is more relevant today than it likely ever was.From the countless movies I've watched in my life I've learned one very important thing. Hollywood used to try and encourage people to fight for their country. To Protect their families friends and neighbors. They encouraged people to believe that, as the saying goes, it's better to die for something than to die for nothing. Hence, the boatload of "one man army" movies like Invasion USA or Commando from 1985. Hell even Red Dawn 1984 hit on the same concept. Over the past few years Hollywood seems more interested in making movies about people getting drunk and peeing in sinks or sparkly anorexic teenage vampires. Sorry if that seems crude, but I've had about all I can take out of today's "film industry". It lacks purpose, direction and above all quality.As for these older movies, It's clear the idea wasn't just to sell tickets but more importantly to send a message. Screw with North America and we'll hit you so hard your great grandparents will feel it. We fight for our freedom and not only would we fight for it, we would put our lives on the line for it. We would protect the innocent and fight the bad guys to the death if need be. Invasion USA is no different and that's why it's one of my favorite action movies.It's well directed, well written and is extremely thrilling. Like with most action films of the time, forget the lousy CGI. The film makers needed to blow something up, they blew it up. Somebody had to dive off a building, they jumped. They needed to flip a car, they flipped it. Invasion USA is a classic action film at heart and never disappoints in that regard. It has all the action movie goodies a film fan could want and then some. I suppose a quick summation of the movie is important so here goes. Matt Hunter, a former special ops vet has retired and lives in the Everglades. He's had enough of the fight and just wants to live in peace. Meanwhile a large terrorist Organization has begun a quiet but extremely violent attack on the United States. The leader of that group is the "arch nemesis" of Hunter. He and Hunter once faced off and the terrorist leader barely escaped alive. That terrorist is now determined to kill Matt Hunter at all costs because he knows that if there's one man who can stop the invasion of America, Hunter is that man.The thing about Chuck Norris that I like so very much is that he almost looks like your everyday guy. Yet blink and he'll kick you ass so fast and so hard it'll take you about a week to wake up. I love his deep voice, his deliberate way of speaking his ability to make you believe he really could and would save your ass if you were In trouble. In real life he's a good honest man and he brings that into virtually every character he's ever played.As for the plot of the movie, as I said. It may have been far fetched to think that terrorists, Russians or even drug cartels would try to invade North America in 1985, but After the events of the past decade and a half, I think it much more likely now. Maybe it's time Hollywood brings back the one man army mentality, in the end it might just be the thing that saves us all. Not to mention its a hell of a lot more fun to watch than most of the lousy movies Hollywood is cranking out now.Here's one final note. Watch the movie and watch for a scene involving a school bus and a bomb. The way Norris handles the situation is just fantastic, he delivers one of the best one liners I've ever heard but yet hits the nail right on the head.

AaronCapenBanner Joseph Zito directed this far-fetched action film that stars Chuck Norris as former CIA agent Matt Hunter, who is living peacefully in Florida when he is informed that his old nemesis Rostov(played by Richard Lynch) is planning an attack on Miami, leading an estimated 1000 man army to blow up houses and cause havoc. Matt agrees to help, since both he and Rostov are haunted by their last encounter, which both of them regret(Matt let Rostov live, Rostov wants revenge for the humiliation.) Lots of action and explosions here, but the plot is idiotic, and none of this remotely rings true. Too silly to be compared with real life terrorist attacks...
