Summary: Barry is an asthmatic kid having trouble in life. He lives with his father, a computer programmer, in Texas. Barry is struggling to get by in life, dealing with his rough school life, bullies, as well as his health. Barry's only source of enjoyment is fantasizing that he is with Chuck Norris. Barry becomes sick of getting picked on by the bigger guys, and decides to learn karate, in hopes of one day meeting the great Chuck Norris. (imdb)

Has all the wit and wisdom of a self-esteem building after-school special. For the majority of it, it's boring and dry, with the main kid being picked on and having a bunch of day-dreams with Chuck Norris, which is much dryer than it sounds. However, the last thirty minutes were pretty exciting back when I was a kid; we finally got to see some fights, and there was some genuine humor. It can't redeem the picture, but it does elevate an otherwise crappy picture into the "very mediocre" category.

They are Norris (playing himself -- as sanctimoniously as he plays anyone else) and Brandis (asthmatic weakling, daydreamer, Chuck Norris idolater), and together they hook up to battle the bullies at the Texas Open Team Karate Tournament. There is an elementary appeal about this, although actual Norris idolaters, along with those of Seagal and van Damme, might not care to have the childishness of their fantasies so plainly underlined. Nonidolaters could care less.

Yet another movie that I had completely forgotten about until now. Apparently I lived through a lot of terrible movies as a kid. This one certainly isn't the worst, but it's miles away from the best.

This movie elevates movies like Kickboxer 4, China O' Brien and Bloodsport 2 to Godfather-like levels. But then again, it does have the Jonathan Brandis stamp of impending doom.

Silly Karate Kid ripoff where every element is watered down and blander. I don't know which is more painful to watch, Beau Bridges dancing or Piscopo's shameless mugging.

A really cheesy movie but it's really funny when we watch the main character act out his fantasies with Chuck Norris. Also, check it out for a ripped Joe Piscopo.

This wretched kiddie fantasy is bland, boring, bloodless, and banal. Chuck Norris' laughable attempt to be Mr. Miyagi. No wonder Jonathan Brandis killed himself.
