The Octagon (1980)
8/10
Not the worst action movie.

I bought this movie from Wal-Mart from the $5 pile. But I was impressed; it had everything I expected in an action movie. It had some good action scenes, explosions, a good climatic fight, and ninjas. I think that most Chuck Norris films fall into the mindless martial arts film category, but that doesn't make them bad movies. The plot was a little campy, an American being trained by a ninjitsu master. What the heck? Ninjas are not even around anymore. But it has some good characters. Kyo made me think of the Shredder and I thought the fight between him and Norris was cool. It can't compare to a really good action movie like Die Hard and Rambo, but if you like action movies it wouldn't hurt to check this movie out. 8/10
