    Edit
    • Trivia
      Written and filmed as "The Jade Jungle", MGM later changed the title to "Forced Vengeance" during post production to make it sound more like an action film.
    • Goofs
      In fact, casinos are not allowed in Hong Kong. The plot should be set in Macau.
    • Quotes

      Josh Randall: Why do they always pick on my hat?

    • Alternate versions
      UK cinema and video versions were cut by 50 secs by the BBFC to edit a scene featuring a nunchaku and to remove a closeup of a blood spurt during the final fight on the boat.

    No one crosses Chuck Norris and lives !
    Above comment would have been another Chuck Norris joke, but in this movie, it's the truth. This is Chuck Norris in his hardest baddest role, and his early career monument to the legend of Chuck Norris.

    Chuck shows no mercy to anyone that gets in his way. The unlucky bad guys doesn't realize what they're up against, as Chuck Norris obliterates them one by one. If they had internet in 1982, they would have fled Hong Kong long before Chuck Norris' plane landed there.

    Chuck just keeps giving his icy cold glare throughout this movie. There's no charm, or sweetness in his character. He just coldly executes everyone who opposes him.

    This is one of the best Chuck Norris movie from the early '80s, and is worth every minute to see it if you're a martial arts or Chuck Norris movie fan.
