    I don’t know how old you are but it seems you’re confusing Chuck Norris with Sylvester Stallone, Kevin Costner, Bruce Willis, Eddie Murphy, Richard Gere or somebody like that. He was in a lot of B-movies in the 80s, I’ll give him that.

      I don’t know how old you are but you’d know that Chuck Norris and all those others were in similar standing during those times.

      You’re applying fame now to fame then.

      I love when people online pull the age card like it makes them privy to special knowledge.

      Like I said: Chuck was a piece of shit right winger when he died. He was also extremely famous in the 80s.

        I’m in my 50s, and I didn’t say he wasn’t famous. I was saying he wasn’t the guy everyone wanted in their movies. He was in a bunch of B-movies. He was famous as a karate guy that made the leap to movies. Crappy movies. And he was a pretty crappy actor as well.

          Almost 50 here, and I concur. Chuck Norris was niche even in the 80s compared to true A listers like Stallone, Schwarzenegger or, a bit later, Bruce Willis. As I recall he was like a cut above Jan-Michael Vincent or something.

            I ain’t a man, my man.

            But more martial arts stuff? I’m telling you he was niche and you’re only reinforcing my point.

              I suppose if you’re going to channel being old, stubborn behavior is a good place to start.

              EDIT: Shit, you were supposed to have the last word. Sorry. Proceed.
