“Forced Vengeance” is a 1982 motion film set in Hong Kong. Chuck Norris plays the top of security for a flashy Hong Kong casino and he has an in depth relationship with the owner. Gangsters make a takeover of the casino, killing the owner in the method, and leading Norris down a path of revenge, while also attempting to keep the owner’s daughter secure as she is targeted as well.
The setting might make you’re thinking that the movie is one among Chuck Norris’ Chinese language productions like “The Way of the Dragon” or “Slaughter in San Francisco,” but “Forced Vengeance” was written, directed, and produced by a wholly American team. If the movie had been made by a Hong Kong crew, then they surely would have known that your entire setup of the plot is not possible, as there are not any casinos in Hong Kong. An ordinance banning all types of gambling except horse racing, sports betting, and the lottery went into effect within the Nineteen Seventies and stays in effect to today.
Even without this major plot hole, “Forced Vengeance” would not be anything special. Martial-arts-focused film critic Michael S. Moore gave the film’s fight choreography a 3 out of ten and criticized it for lacking creativity, flow, and imagination. As was often the case, Chuck’s brother Aaron Norris served because the stunt coordinator and fight choreographer of “Forced Vengeance,” and the fights are about on par along with his usual standard of quality, which is to say, not very high.
