FORCED VENGEANCE-1982-Josh Randall
(Chuck Norris) is head of security for a gambling casino in China
owned by his Jewish father (David Opatoshu) by adoption who's
actually retired with the whole operation run by his real son (Frank
Michael Liu). Josh lives on a boat with his girlfriend/school teacher
Claire (Mary Louise Weller). The real son gets into trouble with some
gangsters and he and dad are killed. Later Josh goes on the run with
Claire and his half sister Joy (Camila Griggs) because a mob leader
wants the casino. His friend LeRoy (Bob Minor) tries to help but is
bear hugged to death by a huge henchman (Japanese pro-wrestler Seiji
Sakaguchi) who also rapes and kills Claire. Josh puts on his Air
Force uniform and gets revenge with a little help from an
international agent (Lloyd Kino). Norris beats up a lot of guys in
this violent, typical martial arts crime drama. It turns out that the
real villain is an old Chinese gang lord and Josh has to fight his
weird bastard son. In the finale he avenges Claire's death (a toilet
bowl figures in the final fight).
The director James Fargo had
previously directed Clint Eastwood in THE ENFORCER and EVERY WHICH
WAY BUT LOOSE.
