When someone forces you into vengeance, you know they had it coming. The preposed sequel “Unnecessary Vengeance” just didn’t work on so many levels.
While Forced flashbacks had a facial hairless variant (quite rare), in this scene the Stetson-loving, kapelophilic Norris (why do they always pick on his hat?) kicks ass while the wheelchair-bound crime lord takes a break from watching cartoons to cheer on his man servant.
I’m now certain that I should loosen the bolts on my toilet just in case Chuck breaks into my home and shoves my face into a bowl of my own unflushed urine. Such precautions are needed.
Perhaps the best part of the movie was stripclub scene with girls dancing to the track “The Go-Go Girls” which sounds an awful lot like Rick James’ “Super Freak.”

I suppose when this movie was being filmed (also in 1981) the film’s composer William Goldstein had just heard the song as it was climbing the charts. I’m sure Rick would have given the scene four thumbs up.
