Chuck vs. the Professor
This early Chuck Norris fare is one of his entertaining and exciting one to view. Done by Steve Carver who later did the sightly better Lone Wolf McQuade(1983). Its about a Police officer who quits the force to find the people responsible for his partner’s death. He ends up joining forces with James Chan played by Mako when he battles some Triad organization. The Triads are portrayed differently in this film then they would be during the mid to late 1980s. This was before gunplay became a big part of the Triad pictures from the Heroic Bloodshed genre in Hong Kong cinema. An Eye for An Eye(1981) is much better then any of Chuck Norris’s movies from the 1990s.The battle between Chuck Norris and Professor Toru Tanako is one of the top martial arts match ups in any Norris flick. Chris Lee makes a great villain as the diabolical Morgan Canfield. Mako adds to the already good cast with his presence and wisdom. Mako is probably the only person to have appeared in a movie or TV show with Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan, and Sammo Hung. An Eye for An Eye(1981) must have been the inspiration for the Steven Seagal film, Hard to Kill(1990) because the plots are almost identical. Anohter memorable character is The Professor. Future Cythnia Rothrock co star, Richard Norton provides some of the stunts for the film.
Star vehicle for Norris offers raw entertainment throughout
A light, entertaining martial arts thriller from Chuck Norris, personally this is a favourite of mine. There’s a flow of almost constant action, things never become too bogged down in talk, while the plot is still interesting enough and contains enough twists to be watchable. Plus, the action in this film is hugely enjoyable and the best I’ve seen from Norris. And what a cast to die for! Norris himself is his usual self, wooden but athletic. The villain here is played by Christopher Lee, doing his usual charming, polite routine while secretly fronting a major drugs ring. Lee seems somewhat out of place in this movie and it’s odd to watch him get to grips with Norris in the modern setting, but his appearance is a blessing for a horror fan like me.Richard Roundtree plays his typical persona – gruff but good-natured – as Norris’ superior who frequently gets thwarted by the big man. Mako, that dependable supporting actor, is a wise old martial arts expert who gets all of the best lines in his clichéd but fun role. Also popping up are Terry Kiser (only briefly though) and Professor Toru Tanaka, who has great fun as a club-footed villain who finally goes one-on-one with Norris in a battle to the death. Matt Clark, a familiar character actor from 1970s television, bags the supporting role with most character depth.
What I like most about this movie is the action, though, as it’s fast and over-the-top all the way. Here, Norris is at home breaking arms and necks in the manner of Steven Seagal and there are there expertly-orchestrated fights; firstly at Mako’s home, secondly on a cargo ship, and the finale at Lee’s mountain-top house. Watching Norris battle and chop a dozen villains at each location is a lot of fun and the high death toll makes this great viewing for action fans. Although not the most original or inspired of action movies, AN EYE FOR AN EYE is certainly one of the most enjoyable in terms of raw entertainment.
