Firewalker (film)
Firewalker is a 1986 actionadventure film starring Chuck Norris, Louis Gossett, Jr., Will Sampson and Melody Anderson. It was directed by J. Lee Thompson and written by Norman Aladjem, Robert Gosnell and Jeffrey M. Rosenbaum. This was the first comedic role for Norris, giving him a chance to poke fun at his action persona.
This movie is famous for a fight scene in which Norris singlehandedly defeats almost every male customer in a Mexican bar and destroys the bar in the process. Another aspect of Norris character is his inability to properly use a firearm in one scene, he kills a savage by pure luck after misfiring, the result was the bullet bouncing off the walls before hitting its target.Firewalker received overwhelmingly negative reviews. As was the case with Norriss earlier film Missing in Action 1984 with its plagiarism of Rambo First Blood Part II 1985, Firewalker was widely cited as a ripoff of many adventure films of that period, particularly the Indiana Jones films, Romancing the Stone and buddy pictures like Beverly Hills Cop and 48 Hrs.citation needed ........
