Logan's War: Bound by Honor (1998)

Let's be realistic.

From my favorite movies..

Best movie of this year hands down!

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

this movies weird. good but weird. its been a while since i saw it but the one thing i remember is that near the end the heros about to be killed by some mafia goon sneaking up on him and chuck norris suddenly appears from a cupboard!! its like he was in narnia or something and got out at the best possible time.also he kicks a guy trough the windshield of his car which doesn't make much sense since the cars actually going to run him over PLUS the guy in the car dies which is impossible as far as i know but hey other than those weird little bits i remember it being a decent film and worth watching (especially to laugh at chuck appearing out of nowhere!!!)so if u have a bit of time to waste rent this out and have a laugh (hey its worth it for like 2 quid right?)

*Possible spoilers* Of course, it never was. According to urban legend, a mobbed-up studio bought the movie rights to the paperback vigilante so nobody with similar qualities, in real-life, would get any ideas! Thus, over the years, I've satisfied myself with Charles Bronson's first two "Death Wish" movies; Dolph Lundgren's version of "the Punisher" (better than most people give it credit for); and, now "Logan's War." Obviously, it was meant to inspire a TV series. That it failed to do so is no fault of the two lead actors. I found Mr. Cibrian quite believable as Logan Fallon. And, Chuck Norris (as Uncle Jake) was his usual rugged self. *BTW, I recognized a couple nice homages to previous Chuck movies. The abusive dad-next-door who finally gets a taste of his own medicine, from "the Hit Man." And, the Flying Kick of Death-By-Windshield, from "Good Guys Wear Black."*At the end, Joe Spano--as Special Agent Downing--tells his partner that the Fallon family's massacre doesn't give Logan the right to act as judge, jury, and executioner. Well, as an average law-abiding citizen (who occasionally hears about "reputed" organized crime-bosses getting undeserved acquittals), if I were a juror at Logan's trial for vigilantism, I would most definitely beg to differ!

This classic Chuck Norris movie has very good guys and very badguys. The young hero waits l5 years to revenge his family's murderand he (IEddie Ciprian) does it with style. I hoped that it was thebeginning of a series on TV. I watch old "Walker, US Marshall"re-runs and enjoy them. The ending really leads one to think of avery probable series staring Logan (Eddie) and naturally, CHuckNorris, the rich retired uncle who knows all the great kick boxerand karate moves, is an excellent back up star and now I have aquestion. Does anyone know if a series was contemplated or if aseries "happened" on TV without my knowing it. 4 years havepassed since this movie. I rated it an 8 for a fascinating plot, greatcharacters including a wonderful stray dog and a little kid and hisvictim Mother. Great stuff. Please inform me if you know more.Thanks. Bettie Magee

I've always been a big fan of Chuck Norris, but when I saw this film about 2 years ago, I was simply blown away by the perfect combination of well choreographed martial-art action, stunt-work, and terrific training sequences. It still fascinates me now.I admit that his other movies have lame stories to exploit, and although there are elements of cheese and corn in this one too, by the end you'll no longer care. (thats if you like action movies)Although the story is simple, it is dealt with very effectively, in that the young boy, Logan, whose family was killed when he was still a child, goes to live with his uncle Jake(Chuck Norris). Finding out that Jake used to be a world class fighter, he learns how to fight, and after joining the army rangers, the worlds best, then seeks vengeance against the men that murdered his family.Although Chuck is in his late 50's in this film, he shows off some moves which many men in their prime could never pull off, and you can only applaud when you see how he finishes off a guy in a car at the end.(I'll say no more, except that the stunt is similar to 1978's awful and inferior 'Good Guys Wear Black')Watch, enjoy and marvel at the brilliance off this film !
