Here is a real question. Did Chuck Norris ever take a real acting role where he had to act like anything other than himself? I found him to be one of the least action stars in terms of being in any way watchable. Stallone, Arnold, Bruce, and even Van Damme have had movies where proper acting was required and the tough guy image is downplayed. ---

My friend pointed out once that if you saw Chuck on a talk show he was warm, witty and funny. But ask him act and he was a board. That said, I saw **An Eye for An Eye** in high school and enjoyed it thoroughly. ---

I feel bad for anyone who dies on the same day as Chuck Norris. It’s like when Farrah Fawcett died and was the lead story…until Michael Jackson died like an hour later. Imagine being upstaged at your own death. ---

I always enjoyed _The Way of the Dragon_, in which Bruce Lee meets Chuck Norris for a showdown in the Colisseum (not on the arena floor), beats the crap out of him and does him the mercy. ---
