Terrorists Beware!



Long before 9/11 and the War on Terror, Chuck Norris was kicking terrorist ass on the silver screen. Today, you can see his greatest pro-USA movie "The Delta Force" on IFC (4:15 p.m. CST). It's pretty cheesy, but Chuck is at his best. Plus, he's under the command of an even bigger badass Lee Marvin. While Chuck can take out an anti-American thug with a swift kick to the skull, Marvin's scowl is probably even more devastating. Adding to the mayhem is 1970s-style "all star" cast (George Kennedy, Joey Bishop, Martin Balsam, Lainie Kazan). And, Robert Forster plays a pretty good extremist. The opening hijacking scene is actually pretty creepy...considering it predates 9/11 by 15 years. Still, this is a great Reagan-era "All-American" action epic. So, fire up the grill, cook up those Freedom Fries and forget about those boneheads trying to raise the debt ceiling. "Delta Force" is a blast from USA's glorious and nutty past.
