Romancing the...Raiders of the...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Firewalker (VHS Tape)
FIREWALKER is not the most memorable action adventure film out there but succeeds by not taking itself too seriously. The chemistry between Chuck Norris, Lou Gossett Jr., and Melody Anderson keeps the film from sinking from its predictable plot, cheap sets, generic action sequences and cardboard baddies (i.e. Sonny Landham -PREDATOR, 48 HRS- as "El Coyote"). The trio are on a quest to find a lost Aztec City and its hidden stockpile of hidden gold. For inspirational purposes, actor John Rhys-Davies from RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK is in the cast in a small role. Chuck Norris in a rare light/comedic/action role is pretty good as Max Donigan, the ex-marine turned adventurist. Norris handles some of the comic banter off of his two co-stars with ease and good comic timing and his martial arts prowess is hardly used in the movie. Overall, a mindless yet entertaining and harmless action adventure film from the 80's. This was produced at a time when "Indiana Jones" type movies were beginning to lose steam. Norris and Gossett are engaging and the beautiful Melody Anderson lights up the screen,

Glad I own a copy,
By Eric C. Sanders - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Firewalker (VHS Tape)
Yes, it is one of the goofiest pieces of, um, processed food that ever came out of Hollywood - but it's bad with such good humor! As though everyone said "You want me to do WHAT? Well, heck - why not?" One thing I'll insist upon - the relationships between Norris's character and Gossett's character is a dandy - and the one between Norris's character and Anderson's - Anderson's character is a Jim Peach. "FRUITCAKE?" shouts Anderson, after bursting into Norris's and Gossett's hotel room. "Are the walls that thin?" waffles Norris. "No, your mouth is that big!" comes her retort. And John Rhys-Davies as the adventurer who has taken over the Central-American rebel army - wonderfully crazed! Forget about the Academy, this is just plain fun.

great movie,
By Randy Scott - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Firewalker (DVD)
Great movie! Lots of fun. No bad words. Not a horror movie. Not a martial arts movie. More of a comical Indy movie. Not much of a body count.
A Great movie for just plain simple relaxation. Would I watch it again? Yes, I've watched it about 5 times by myself just for my relaxation. Good movies are few; great ones even fewer. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

An old favorite of mine,
By pitterpatter "love my kindle" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Firewalker (DVD)
I love this movie because it has so many of the elements that appeal to me. The heroine is a strong woman, who is looking for some ancient ruins. There is humor and friendship among all the characters. Chuck Norris plays an appealing role, and of course there is a happy ending.
