Let's watch Lone Wolf McQuade starring Chuck Norris. Movie Analyst Don Nichols discusses this film from 1983 and why it is the quintessential Chuck experience. He portrays a Texas lawman embroiled in a karate kicks and big explosions feud with a rich drug smuggler played by David Carradine (Kill Bill, Kung-Fu). We'll discuss the career of Chuck Norris and where he ranks among on-screen action heroes.
