Chuck Norris plays a cop who is tracking down mafia drug runners. The fight becomes personal when the daughter of a mafia man gets kidnapped and Norris must save her.
The film follows a pretty basic idea: cop wants drug dealer, cop chases drug dealer. With Norris being the lead ,a little more karate action is added, but not as much as one might expect. Nobody was roundhouse kicked to the face. Another scene, involving a pool table, had surprisingly little use of the table in the fight (when everyone knows broken cues are the key weapon).
I was expecting the Rubik's Cube to pay off, since it appears earlier in the film a few times. This subplot (if it even deserves to be called that) is never fully developed.
The box makes a big stink out of the police department's remote-controlled tank. But don't be fooled by the box. The tank is a big let-down and never really makes sense in the context of the film. If you're looking for high tech police, watch "Robocop". Ed-209 could easily beat this tank without a moment's notice.
If you have nothing better to do and you want to see Chuck Norris, this film is acceptable. But it's not his best film (I like "Sidekicks") and not one of the better police films or karate films on the market. So, unless you need Henry Silva and Chcuk Norris on the screen together to be happy, pass on this.
