Lone Wolf McQuade

"David Caradine is as good of a martial artist as I am an actor." - Chuck NorrisChuck Norris drinks beer constantly and fights people. Why wouldn't you watch this at Christmas?

I haven’t watched this movie in years. When I found it on Amazon I immediately ordered it. Works like a dvd should.

My small son loves to have a "Bro Night" with me on rare weekends when my wife has to attend an academic conference. I am therefore usually on the lookout for a great "guys movie" that is decent but without too much overt violence for my small son. Lone Wolf McQuade comes fairly close to fitting that bill. I am not sure what most might consider to be the ideal action movie, but Lone Wolf McQuade might get my vote. It can easily stand side by side with other fan favorites of the 1980's like Predator, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Aliens, etc.... with the added bonus that there is no overt bloodshed, cussing, or sex in the movie. I would not say it is perfect for smaller kids, but if you fast forward through a few sketchy parts, it can be seen and enjoyed by a younger audience as well.Most people who read this likely already know the plot but to help those few who may not, the story concerns the exploits of a fictional Texas Ranger based in El Paso whose name is J. J. McQuade (played by Chuck Norris). McQuade is a lawman who lives in a dilapidated home but who has extreme skills when it comes to unarmed combat and firearms. After dealing with cattle thieves at the beginning of the movie, Ranger McQuade quickly becomes involved in trying to determine who is selling stolen military equipment in the area. His suspicions quickly turn to Rawley Wilkes (played by David Carridine), a local businessman who seems to enjoy taunting others and is an expert in martial arts. Obviously a showdown is brewing and the two take turns trying to bring the other one down.Is it high drama on par with the opera La Boheme? Hell no, ... but it is a great action movie and one that most audiences can enjoy. My small son loved the fights and McQuade's Bronco, but we did skip one or two minor areas that were a bit too violent. Overall the movie is great and a good watch for fathers and sons everywhere.

Was surprised this one had slip by me in the past. Just watched it for the first time. Good old movie making and one of Chuck Norris's best, I would say. Its very funny in places. highly recommended.

First, adjust your expectations for what this is - Chuck Norris kicking ass in a sweaty spaghetti western / karate action movie that is horribly out of date for 2020 - but it excels at being true to the pre-Arnold 80s action genre.The entire movie is set in West Texas & Mexico and has some fantastic cinematography. The score is great, but a straight rip off of Ennio Morricone's greatest hits - complete with the organ music of the final fight scene. Everyone is covered in sweat throughout the entire movie. The production must have been grueling.Chuck Norris is not only a "lone wolf" Texas Ranger, but his pet dog is an actual wolf. He drinks cheap beer, which he applies topically when he requires medical treatment. He also has a truck with a supercharger that can work underground - its amazing. David Carradine wears sweaters in the Texas heat, smokes cigarellos, and drives a Mercedes with "Carate" on the license plate. For some reason there is another bad guy who is a dwarf in a wheelchair who was miscast as the villain of a Bond movie. There is a another Texas Ranger who dresses like Colonel Sanders and is the comic relief.In short, if you like action movies and can laugh through the tropes that are seriously out of date, this is a very entertaining movie...

This was, as a whole, a surprisingly good action movie starring one of my favorite martial arts/action stars. The plot was a little...farfetched; I mean, stealing military supplies, and from convoys, no less, almost makes for a thrilling plot device. For one who happens to be in the military, though, I just had to say "Oh, come ON!" Anyway, getting past that, this flick has every single thing a guy needs in an action film, and actually does a pretty fine job of it. Let's see...we've got Chuck Norris; a saucy leading lady (Barbara Carrera); Chuck romping around with saucy leading lady; Chuck killing and/or beating up a thousand bad guys; lots of explosions, guns, and car crashes; beer, beer, and more beer; use of construction equipment for other than specified by the manual; a final, bare-knuckle, man-to-man showdown with the main villain (and, actually, David Carradine plays the role very well!); Chuck's patented "thousand-yard stare"...oh, and more explosions and beer. Who could ask for more?This movie's biggest hook, of course, is Chuck Norris vs. David Carradine (Kung Fu), which to me is one of the better straight-up fight scenes in recent movie history. Nothing terribly fancy, but the two sell some wicked-looking kicks and punches.As far as action movies go, I wasn't disappointed in anything with "Lone Wolf McQuade" except maybe the plot, but hey, it's a MOVIE. If you like action flicks as well, I'd recommend this one as part of your collection. It's considered a classic, after all...and Chuck doesn't even sing the closing theme.
