If there was a Hollywood Walk of Kick Ass, Chuck Norris would have two fists planted in the cement. His films focus on martial arts, high octane action and don't bother much with introspection, romance or the multiverse. So not all bad. What is his legacy? How do his films compare to the big budget major studio fare of Schwarzenegger and Stallone? And just how did Norris become an internet meme sensation?Discussing all this and more, we even recommend a Chuck Norris film you could watch with the family, especially if your family enjoy seeing stuff getting blown up and bad guys getting kicked through doors.Full links at:https://www.kevinspetchcreative.com/news.htmlWe make no revenue from links or recommendations.Hosts Kevin Petch, Rob Wood and David Benn.Produced by Kevin Petch for Out Of Left Field.Thanks for supporting 5282.

We discuss their student work, shorts and feature films and explore their influences, techniques and message. We dig deep into that last one as their work is mysterious, opaque and open to interpretation.Thanks to Phil Todd for suggesting the topic.

We discuss the golden age of this iconic genre, from the early sixties to the mid seventies.
