Movie Info

The frequently used title An Eye for an Eye was applied to a Chuck Norris martial-arts festival in 1981. Norris plays Sean Kane, a San Francisco cop whose partner is murdered by an Oriental drug ring. Told to keep his distance by his superiors, Kane quits the force and sets out to exact vengeance. When he's not suffering from traumatic nightmares, our hero is single-handedly decimating every one of villain Morgan Canfield's (Christopher Lee) henchmen. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Aside from a few random smatterings of chop-socky daring-do, there's not one single thing about this movie worth sitting through.

This is one of those 70s/80s cop drama/action flicks with a far-fetched storyline....and I enjoyed it very much. My only complaint was the middle portion of the film where the was little action to be had and spent a lot more time fleshing out the plot. I still recommend it for a fun action movie though.

Better than Chuck Norris' late 1970s movies. The dialogues between his character and Mako's are delightful and the settings and cast are better than usual, as is the story. Norris is no coward to fight against Christopher Lee's gangster without any weapons, only his tough fists and kicks.
