Writer B.J. Nelson has skillfully combined plot elements and situations which draw from the best of westerns and anti-Establishment cop films.

3.5/4

All of these people are thrown together into a plot that is, of course, essentially meaningless. But the movie respects the plot, and keeps it moving, and a lot of excitement is generated.

Let's face it, this is nothing more than a formula action picture which should've had the brains to dispense with all the dumb boring "social relevance" sub-plots and get on with the big, loud guns and bone-cracking kung-fu.

The macho modern-day cowboy character played by Norris should appeal to men who just love him shirtless in a shoot-out.

Lone Wolf McQuade is a decent film. It is about a Texas Ranger in pursuit of the arms dealers who kidnapped his partner, his daughter and his dog. Chuck Norris and David Carradine give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Steve Carver did an alright directing job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the adventure and drama.

There is some ridiculous acting going on, but it doesn't matter because this is one fun action movie. Love the Western style the tried to inject in it.

The best chuck Norris movie ever

Arguably the film that vaulted Norris into superstar status which would be cemented by his early Golan-Globus films. Norris plays a top Texas Ranger out to rescue his kidnapped daughter from arms smugglers. Top notch cast and spaghetti western score add value here. I just knew we were headed for a one-on-one martial arts showdown between Carradine and Norris but I never expected it to feature Carradine wearing an argyle sweater. The one thing I respect about McQuade is that he drinks Pearl beer and rejects other brands.
