Review of Silent Rage

Silent Rage (1982)
2/10
Not "Silent" enough....
16 September 1999
Chuck Norris and science fiction.

Two great things that DON'T go great together.

"Silent Rage" is basically story about a psycho (Libby) who is nearly killed by sheriff Norris then brought back to life by the local mad doctor (Silver) and made indestructible. The brand-new madman then goes on a tear, killing nearly all he gets his hands on. Everything leads to he and Norris going at it mano-a-mano.

The same old thing done the same old way, save for the "Frankenstein" slant, and for Furst playing Gabby Hayes to Norris' John Wayne.

In fact, the only "Rage" to be experienced here is the one you'll feel if you rent this and realize you could have watched something more entertaining.

Like, say, your clothes spinning around at the laundromat.

Two stars - one for Furst's comic relief and another for a scene where Norris clears out a bar full of bikers.

Now THAT'S entertainment.
