Saturday Jun 26, 2021
Saturday Jun 26, 2021
Struck by lightning and risen from the grave, Blood Sport Commando is back with a vengeance to review and discuss the Chuck Norris action flick A Force of One. Released in 1979, A Force of One is directed by Paul Aaron and co-stars Bill "Superfoot" Wallace as the drug infused antagonist. In this movie Chuck plays a karate instructor and full contact karate champion hired by local law enforcement to help contend with cop killing kingpins who use spinning hook kicks instead of guns to grow their drug empire. It all builds up to a fabulous showdown between Chuck and Bill.
