Invasion U.S.A. (1985)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

An absolute waste of money

A lot of fun.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

My number 1 personal favorite Chuck Norris film ever!!! Bad-ass action film. Best of the best action film of the 80's I ever saw. This is one man army against terrorists. "It is time to die" My girlfriend bought me this film on Blu-ray I just got it today and I am so happy about it. Chuck Norris is Matt Hunter and Invasion U.S.A. is his best film of all time. I would put this film with First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo, Hard Target, Die Hard, Die Hard With A Vengeance, The Last Boy Scout, Showdown In Little Tokyo, Mad Max: Fury Road, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior and any other bad ass action movie. I would put this movie above Missing In Action and this movie just become my number 1 favorite Chuck Norris movie. Chuck Norris is a bad ass in this movie with his Uzis. Steven Seagal would not had a chance against Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris works alone his one man army. Jay Chattaway made a perfect music score for this movie the same he did for Missing in Action. Joseph Zito directed perfectly this actioner movie. Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter, The Prowler, Missing in Action and Invasion U.S.A. are his favorite films of mine. Richard Lynch was excellent and a bad ass villain bad guy I have ever seen. Chuck Norris also writes the screen play for this movie. This movie has ton's of action, explosions practical effects. Hunter blows up the bad guy with M72 LAW "It's time". I miss action movies like this where are action movies like this one today? I want action movies like this one back. As you know I am action junkie I love action movies to death and Invasion U.S.A. is a bad ass action movie ever! I have this movie on Blu-ray in 1080p HD. R.I.P. Richard Lynch I miss you. 10/10

The moment someone mentions Chuck Norris, the first thing that usually pops into their head is a legendary bearded man who normally plays in action movies as an unstoppable one-man army and he can also round-house kick people in the face, oh and in this movie he has a pet armadillo which is really cute and a wise pet choice to have since they are hard like Chuck.Before I watched the movie I wasn't expecting much considering how averagely rated the film is but to my surprise I actually really enjoyed this movie. Although I did notice a couple of flaws within the movie, McGuire (Melissa Prophet) came out as a rather cocky character who just wants the scoop of the news and her acting was mediocre, and there's a scene where kids on a school bus sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" which is by far the worst children's song ever. One other thing although I thought was really funny rather than a bad thing is that the main villain, Mikhail Rostov (Richard Lynch) kills some people by putting his gun into their pants and trousers and blasting their privates to kingdom come and killing them that way, I just thought it was really hilarious. Also there's one part where Rostov has a rocket launcher that doesn't need reloading, but who cares, it's an 80's action movie.But these are just minor flaws, overall this movie is a lot of fun to watch. What makes this movie really stand out is the action and for a movie from the 1980's, it's all really good and it's all done with practical effects which is something you don't get a lot of these days such as real explosions, lots of gun fighting and a well performed car chase scene. Chuck Norris truly is a man of action and he delivers this film really well.Definitely recommend this movie, it's an awesome forgotten gem starring a great legendary action hero star.

Rostov, an all black wearing tyrant, is planning to unleash a reign of terror on the U.S., but before he does he decides to go after Matt Hunter, a former CIA agent, who lives in Florida, who once had Rostov's life in his hands but took him alive, and now Rostov is plagued by nightmares of Hunter. Rostov goes after him but misses, so Hunter, who has already been approached by his former employers to go after Rostov, decides to go after him. But he is only one man and Rostov has hundreds of men ripping the country apart, so how will he stop it......Of all the Cannon movies that were released in the eighties, this one is the most eventful. Yes, there is Electric Boogaloo, Bloodsport, and the Death Wish Sequels, but no other garnered Norris the reputation he has today.To sum the movie up, it's Norris in all denim, versus the earths biggest terrorists whom have a penchant for ridiculous hats.They blow up his house, he destroys his window.They blow up a store, he crashes through the stores main doors with the most macho clothing accessory of all time........ Matching Uzis on an attractive belt.If you are find of the Cannon group, then this is a must, their films where a wonder of creation in the eighties, high concept.............low budget.It's so much fun to watch. Lynch, in one scene, has what appears to be a never reload rocket launcher, and blows up a Christmas tree, and come the final scene, he literally screams himself into an explosion.And then it finishes, with a still of Norris staring angrily due to the fact that he has a speck of blood on his shirt.It's Friday night viewing for sure, complete rubbish, but so good while it lasts.Gotta love the hats.

Invasion U.S.A. from 1985 is personally my all time favorite 1980s action movie. It has everything that someone who loves this genre wants. The film features action legends. The film features over the top action. And best of all, it features some great cheesy one liners delivered by the man himself, Chuck Norris. Not to mention it was made by the Cannon Group. Those who know 80s movies should know them. The plot is goofy, I must admit that, but 80s action movies always featured goofy plots. That is what makes them so great. The following is my review of Invasion U.S.A..The story was written by James Bruner, Aaron Norris(brother of Chuck), and Chuck Norris. Bruner is known for having also wrote 80s films with Chuck Norris such as Missing in Action and The Delta Force. Aaron Norris however only had this effort under his belt for writing in the 1980s, and only three total movies. The story, if you can call it that, is pretty cheesy, but is fun as the actors and the action hold everything together. The plot follows Rostov(Richard Lynch) who leads a team of terrorists into America to try and invade it. However, he soon gets a rude awakening when his old enemy shows up(Hunter, played by Chuck Norris). So, with that basic plot outline, you get the idea. Hunter has to stop Rostov, and we all know the basics of the rest of it. As I said above, The film is fun because of the great acting and because of Chuck Norris. Personally, this is my favorite Chuck Norris movie, and the writers overall did a great job on molding together a good plot for this film.The film was directed by 1980s directing legend, Joseph Zito. Zito is very well known for his 80s hits like The Prowler, Missing in Action, and of course Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. His vision as a director always kept me interested in his work. I loved how on a few of his works he would just end a movie. No need for that happy everyone comes together ending. He just ended the film abruptly. The film looks amazing as well. Cannon Films was very well known in the 80s for making cheap films very quickly. So for this film to look as good as any action movie from that time says a great deal about what Zito was able to do. There are some fun action scenes as well. Some that will even make you ask yourself did that just happened. The action in this film is shot amazingly, and Zito deserves so much credit for his amazing work on this film. While Zito never hit it big and his career was short, he left us with some great films, and this is my favorite.The acting area has so many great names. Of course Chuck Norris is the lead and Richard Lynch is the main villain, but other actors like Alexander Zale, Billy Drago, Alex Colon, and Eddie Jones are in the film. If you want a fun film with some fun acting, this is the film for you. Sure Chuck Norris doesn't earn an Oscar here, but he plays the calm guy perfectly, as he always does. He also delivers those one liners perfectly. If you like that cheesy acting you see in 80s action movies like this, do not overlook this film.Jay Chattaway was the composer of this film. He is known for scoring some Star Trek TV series as well as films like Silver Bullet and Missing in Action. The Cannon Group was known for taking cheap ways out when making a film, so they would cut corners in this area of film making. Often reusing scores. However, this film was an original score, that was used later on another Cannon film. The score is fun and adds some nice depth, but probably wouldn't make my list for top scores in a 80s action movie. Chattaway is a great composer and his work on this film is still very much enjoyable.In closing, I truly love this film. I watch it as often as I can, and not only do I have it as my favorite action movie ever, I also have it as my favorite Christmas action movie. Yes, above Die Hard. So that is saying something. Of course this is only my opinion, and it is perfectly fine to disagree. Though you shouldn't overlook this film. If you get a chance to watch or buy this film, do it. Do not think nice. Sadly, this film still does not have a Blu-Ray release, so the DVD version is the way you have to go. Thankfully they are cheap at a used video store for around five dollars. So pick up this fun 80s action film, and I'm sure most will enjoy this film as well.9/10
