i pick this film up from the local family video on sale for $ 1 . 50 and which be probably the first sign it wasn not go to be good . watch it with 2 friend and neither of them even want to finish it because of how awful this movie be . i and strangely and couldn not stop watch it . but this film be definitely a textbook case of how not to make a movie . the plot be simple enough and sound great represent chuck norris have nightmare about a serial killer he put behind bar . the serial killer escape and his nightmare begin to become reality once more . serial murder and norris and roundhouse kick . this sound like a great film . and some of it be pretty good . the flashback scene where a man break a ladder with his teeth be intense and a scene where a van cascade off a cliff and get crush be amazing and i learn how to break out of prison use nothing more than chapstick and gun powder and dental floss . but there be plenty wrong with this movie . one represent the editor be a moron . when make an action or suspense film and you have to keep the energy move . there be far too many scene that be not crucial to the plot leave in this movie and slow it down and distract from the overall story . at least 10 minute could have be cut and the pacing would have improve and the film would be slightly well . two represent the sound guy be a moron . apparently somebody tried to film most of this movie in an area where you can not get decent sound and so most of the dialog be voice over and kill the stereo and not line up with mouth . also and the music be far too dramatic in some scene . three represent the casting director be a moron . they cast billy drago a a psychiatrist . billy drago be a great cult actor ( from brisco county and the hill have eye and and others ) and would have make the proper serial killer or some sort of villain . his character be so vanilla that drago skill be waste . four represent the writer be a moron . two plot be in this film the hunting of a serial killer and the romance between norris and his pregnant girlfriend . every time i saw that woman on screen and i want to claw my eye out . and sure enough and she never figure into the other plot and make her story completely pointless . will i ever watch this again . maybe . but unless they remaster this film at least a dozen time and you never should . not recommend .
