I saw part of The Hitman but was not able to finish watching it...for whatever reason. I do remember the part with the kid, though. Yup, Chuck is hard to take seriously as a trench-coat wearing "bad dude."

I saw one (might've been mentioned already) called Sidekicks with Joe Piscopo. That was so bad, I actually melted into my theater seat in shame during the scene in the bar where the kid orders a glass of milk; the bartender starts laughing at the kid, then Chuck said, "Make that two glasses of milk."

Actually, IMO, the only Chuck Norris movie that was pretty well-made was Code of Silence, and that was more because of the director, Andrew Davis, who used to direct some very good, gritty crime movies.

Jethro:
The Norris-Wang Tao movie is called Yellow-Faced Tiger, retitled as Slaughter in San Francisco. It was Wang Tao's first movie and Chuck's 4th. Norris's first movie appearance was in The Wrecking Crew, starring Dean Martin and Sharon Tate (who was later killed by the Manson Family), and Joe Lewis and Mike Stone also appeared. Bruce Lee did the choreography. Norris's 2nd was Return of the Dragon, his 3rd was supposedly some unnamed porno movie where he was a karate instructor.

Righting Wrongs was one of the best Yuen Biao-starring vehicles. The villain is Melvin Wong (of Descendant of Wing Chun). Like I mentioned, it had two different endings supposedly; the one I saw had Rothrock's character dying.

Oddly enough, The Big Brawl was my introduction to Jackie Chan. When it was released in 1980, I saw it and was actually impressed, because I had never heard of Jackie Chan before that. I hadn't yet seen his Chinese films, and that kind of slapstick kung fu was totally unfamiliar to me then. I'd only seen more serious Shaw movies and some of the very old post-Bruce Lee kung fu movies with nonstop bad fighting in them. It was released together with a re-release of Enter the Dragon.

I might mention that Conan Lee (actual name, Roy Hutchinson) had made only bad films after Ninja in the Dragon's Den. Besides Gymkata, he was in one American film about time travel where the "big moment" in the film is he dives through a very slow-turning gigantic fan blade. Later he went back to HK and did Aces Go Places 4 in a small role. Even in Ninja, it was Hiroyuki Sanada who stole the show, and it seemed the Chinese audience I saw it with were there mainly to see Sanada, who was already familiar to them through his Japanese films, and not Conan Lee.
