Firewalker (1986)

Sadly Over-hyped

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Best movie ever!

Absolutely the worst movie.

Max Donigan sets off on a treasure hunt with his friend Leo and newly-acquired partner Patricia, who provided the treasure map. Along the way they encounter a few bar fights, evil "coyotes", and other obstacles they are able to overcome with ease. That line alone pretty much single handedly ruined this movie but also pretty much the premise of the movie fall apart that quick. Chuck Norris has made better movies than this and this? It's probably one of his worst plus it's neither action packed enough or funny enough to say the least as well. (0/10)

Or "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom" . Or "Indiana Jones and The Last crusade" . Or "Romancing the stone". Or "Jewel of the Nile" . I just gave you 5 better movies to watch instead of this piece of crap. It's not that I was expecting a masterpiece. I would be happy with a decent adventure movie . I like Louis Gossett Jr. . I don't mind Chuck Norris. J. Lee Thompson is a director of famous "Cape fear" . It's not strange that I hoped for some quality. It was also a chance to see Norris outside of his standard type of action movie."Firewalker " is a cheap movie . Cheap humor , production values , uninteresting action and lame dialogues. I think that even the awful "Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of Crystal skull" was slightly better than this . Watch it only if you're a fanatic of adventure movies.I give it 1/10.

I actually think this movie is Norris's best effort to date. I enjoyed it. The interplay between him and Gossett was good stuff and it didn't have much of the martial arts nonsense I hate so much. I give it a 9 out of 10. I liked the story and to me, Chuck was funny. He's a far better actor than Seagal, but then, who isn't? It's kind of a pity Chuck didn't continue along the lines of this movie and went in other directions. None of which, in my opinion, were as entertaining. As a rule, I never watch any movies made by Martial arts people turned "actors" but I made an exception for this one and was pleasantly surprised. Not a classic by any means, but worth watching.

This is probably one of the best Chuck Norris movies there is. He is actually funny in this movie, and it has some very interesting themes in it. The fight seen in the bar is very good. This is probably one of Chuck's last really good movies. Besides the average TopDog. Louis Gosset Jr. also does a great job in this movie. He adds to it in many ways. Without him it probably wouldn't be funny at all. My favorite seen would have to be the very first one when they are tied up in the desert and ol' chuck uses the glass bottle to cut them free. Mean while louis gosset jr. has scorpions crawling up his trousers, waiting for Chuck to get them untied so he can get them off of him. People say this was a ripoff of Indiana Jones...so what its still a good movie to watch. Plus they may be right! It does have John Rhyes-DAvis in it.
