A recurring joke from the prehistory of the Internet says that Chuck Norris He was born on May 6, 1945, and just one day later, the Nazis surrendered. Although the facts are inaccurate (Norris had been alive for five years when Germany bent the knee), the spirit of the joke defines Chuck Norris. A tough guy with papers to prove it, such as his black belt in several martial arts. And this year, after a decade of truce, Chuck Norris has once again knocked on the doors of the cinema. Or just to hit.
Among the action heroes of the eighties, Chuck Norris It is certainly not the one with the best filmography. He has never filmed with a great director and, nostalgia aside (he appeared in Bruce Lee’s directorial debut The fury of a dragon), you could almost say that he has never worked with a real director.
Chuck Norris does not reach fifty films (Steven Seagal exceeds seventy and Bruce Willis multiplies by three those filmed by Norris). However, there is something that Norris can boast about in front of his fellow promotion members: Norris has not one, but two martial arts of his own.
And his perseverance in these and other disciplines is why Chuck Norris, at 84 years old, is better than ever. Let’s compare him, for example, with the Chuck Norris who faced Christopher Lee in blow by blow (1981).
What is the new Chuck Norris movie?
Agent Recon will mark the return of Chuck Norris to the cinema after 10 years, when he was seen in The Mercenaries II in a spectacular cameo. His return harmonizes with the usual tone of Norris’s work: low expectations, tight budget and, as compensation, blows and bullets at discretion.
Agent Recon has been directed by Derek Ting, who heads, along with Norris, the cast of the film. However, the most notable appearance, apart from Chuck’s, is that of Marc Singerwhoever was The Lord of the Beasts and that he had also not acted for a decade.
Agent Recon will be released in the United States in a limited number of theaters and will then move to the on-demand service for rental and purchase. At the moment, it lacks distribution in Spain, although we can see its trailer. Agent Recon mixes action with science fiction: Chuck Norris plays the captain of a secret security force whose objective is to unravel the nature of an inexplicable energy disturbance at an American base.
