Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Spikeopath Chuck Norris plays cop Danny O'Brien, who finds that a one time serial killing enemy of his has apparently come back from the dead and started killing again.It's all very cheesy and in truth it's a low grade Norris vehicle. Norris is going through the motions, even portraying a character more softer at heart than what he usually played in the decade. The villain played by Jack O'Halloran is something of a lumbering oak and not very threatening, and once again Norris fans are short changed as per quotient of martial artistry. The big face off at the finale is at least well constructed, thus saving the pic from total stinker status. 4/10

adonis98-743-186503 Danny O'Brien is back in action fighting the notorious Simon Moon, also known as The Terror. Three years earlier O'Brien had single-handedly captured The Terror and was called Hero by the people of L.A. Now Simon has escaped and has started killing women again, and O'Brien is the only man who can stop him. The Problem with this film is mostly the killer the way he breaks the necks of all this people is over the top and kinda dumb. The acting is OK nothing spectacular and Chuck Norris let's face it his memes are funny but his acting or his movies are in the same dumb list as the ones of Steven Seagal honestly he isn't that much of a great action star but this movie is OK for the most part nothing crazy about it

Vivekmaru45 Based on Michael Blodgett's 1982 novel of the same name, it follows Danny O'Brien(Chuck Norris), a cop, trying to stop a serial killer, Simon Moon nicknamed "The Terror". Danny O'Brien is a cop who likes to work alone that never waits for his back up. In L.A. he is trying to apprehend the notorious Simon Moon (Jack O'Halloran), also known as The Terror. Simon has been killing women by snapping their necks and taking them to his lair in an abandoned movie theater. O'Brien is attacked by Simon who almost kills him in the struggle. When the killer flees the scene and climbs up a ladder he slips and falls, knocking himself unconscious. When the backup arrives they think O'Brien caught The Terror and the people of L.A. call him "Hero". Simon is then arrested and taken to jail.When Dr. Highwater (Billy Drago) goes to visit Simon he escapes by cutting through the bars of his cell. He then steals a laundry van by push starting it but loses control and falls straight down into a cliff face. When the media hears about this they pronounce Simon dead and the people of L.A. are relieved.Three years later the murders start back up again and O'Brien thinks it's The Terror has returned to his old hunting grounds...Excellent acting, script, direction, photography, background effects and music. Directed by the acclaimed William Tannen, who has won five Clios, (the industry's highest honor) for clients such as Diet Coke, Ford, Air France, McDonald's, and Pepsi Cola. Tannen has directed films like the political thriller Flashpoint for Tri-Star Pictures, and co-directed Deadly Illusion starring Billy Dee Williams for RCA/Columbia and CineTel Films. Tannen then wrote his first produced screenplay, Cover Up for Dolph Lundgren and Louis Gossett. Capital Films of London produced the film. He then directed Michael Madsen in the film noir thriller Inside Edge in Mexico, produced by Life Entertainment.Verdict: I'd definitely buy this cult status film for my collection.More Chuck Norris films to see: Missing in Action 1984(followed by 2 back-to-back sequels), Invasion U.S.A. 1985(sequel is Avenging Force, a 1986 film directed by Sam Firstenberg, which replaces Norris with Michael Dudikoff in the role of Max Hunter), The Delta Force 1986, Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection 1990, The Hit-man 1991.Thank you for reading my review. May you live long and prosper.

Comeuppance Reviews Danny O'Brien (Chuck) is an L.A. area cop who is still reeling from his encounter with a psychopathic, murderous maniac named Simon Moon (O'Halloran). O'Brien exorcises his demons pumping iron in the weight room. Moon is so scary, he's been nicknamed "The Terror" by the press. However, O'Brien has also been nicknamed. To the residents of L.A., he's "The Hero". Starting to see where this is going? Anyway, Chuck hates his nickname, and just wants to spend time with his lovely wife Kay (Thayer), who is pregnant. But the Mayor of L.A. (O'Neal) wants results on The Terror case. So O'Brien calls in his buddy Robinson (James) to help out. The two suspect that the baddie is hiding out in the bowels of the Wiltern Theater, which sets the stage for the final battle. Who will prevail: The Hero or The Terror? Find out today… Simply speaking, The Hero and The Terror is classic 80's Chuck. It might not be one of his more talked-about titles, but it's well worth seeing. It's kind of like a better version of Silent Rage (1982), insofar as it's about a psycho killer and Chuck's chasing him, while doing minimal Martial Arts. If you have to see one of those two movies, see this one. It's a quality production: it's excellently shot, with very nice cinematography, the cast is top-notch, and it all exudes an aura of professionalism. It's not at all junky, and it would have been very cool to see this in the theater in '88.Chuck puts in a great performance, that of a troubled hero haunted by The Terror, while still striving to be a rock of stability and companionship for his wife. Fan favorite Steve James is as charismatic as ever, and is always a joy to watch. He even wears the same WrestleMania hat as he does in McBain (1991). That must make us truly hardcore Steve James fans to notice a detail like that. Ron O'Neal does a decent job as "The Mayor", and Billy Drago has a glorified Cameo as a doctor. Come to think of it, it's not all that glorified.We very much enjoyed the slower pace of this film. Slow pace doesn't equal bad: bad equals bad. We're against the notion that MTV-style fast cuts and ADD-afflicted editing should be the standard we all have to now live by. So by that logic if a movie isn't moving at a breakneck pace, it's no good? We reject that entirely. Bring us back to the days when a pace was meant to draw you in and you could get to know the characters. So we applaud director Tannen for that. He went on to be a co-director of Inside Edge (1992), which also featured Branscombe Richmond, as does HATT, as all the cool kids call it (i.e., this movie).For straight down-the-line and above board Chuck, Hero and the Terror is a great choice.
