The Ultimate Ranger!

In honor of the Texas Rangers making it to the World Series...and coming through in Game 2, the Weekend Drive-in celebrates the ultimate Texas Ranger - "Lone Wolf McQuade."

Before Chuck Norris became a fixture on 1990s TV as "Walker, Texas Ranger," he played maverick lawman McQuade in this 1983 action flick. Apparently, this movie was the inspiration for "Walker," but the names were changed due to copyrights.

Filmed in El Paso, Texas, this movie follows the adventures of the titular Texas Ranger as he tries to take down a nutcase arms dealer Wilkes (played by David "Kung Fu" Carradine. McQuade is quite a bit different than "Walker." He loves to drink beer (Pearl) and pretty much breaks every law possible when apprehending the bad guys. A pretty cool cast rounds out this movie including Robert "Star Trek: Voyager" Beltran, Leon Isaac Kennedy (of the superb "Penetentiary" series) and the always awesome Barbara Carrera. The highlight is a kung fu confrontation between Norris and Carradine, who reportedly refused to use stunt doubles.

Catch the action TONIGHT, Oct. 21 on THIS TV (9 p.m. CST).
