5/10
Fun movie but only average

Greetings from the other side. This movie was definitely interesting, but it just had so many elements, that it bogged things down.

You know that with Chuck Norris you're always gonna get the Kung Fu angle, but you also have the mad scientist angle where he injects the bad guy so that he regenerates or heals almost instantly.

Then you have a little bit of the movie dedicated to the bikers, and finally you have the love story.

The love story angle with Chuck and that woman should have been the first thing to hit the cutting room floor. It didn't serve the movie at all and just ate up time that could have been used elsewhere.

The part with the bikers could have been left in, but I would have had them show up when Chuck starts the final showdown with the fast-healing bad guy. Maybe Chuck is fighting the bikers when Michael Myers (not his name) shows up, and noticing how powerful the monster is, they start helping Chunk instead.

This movie has Kung fu, sci fi, horror, and romance elements, and that's just too much.

However, the movie is still fun to watch. I liked the rapid healing angle, but using a dead psychopath corpse may have been a mistake, hehe. If they had made a few changes, the movie could have been so much better.
