Good Guys Wear Black (1978)
This week we watch GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK to see if the title holds true. I guess it kind of does? Chuck Norris and his team of soldiers, the Black Tigers, are dressed in black for like 11 minutes of the movie - so that’s something.

Hell yeah
Reading “Heat 2” and they say “clocked” a lot.
I clocked that too
As a 911 operator every day I am truly crestfallen to never take calls that are solely for artistic authenticity and research. Usually it’s just Apple Watch buttdials
This new comment system is better.
Hopefully it’s more difficult for them to remove my dumbass comments now
Rodgers mentioned the Chuck Norris Karate Commandos cartoon, maybe for Shadow Wolves. Any other inexplicable action movie cartoon tie ins? I remember watching Rambo The Force of Freedom. And vaguely recall a Robocop animated series.
The Mr. T cartoon is weird as fuck. There's an obnoxious kid who is always talking like T and a dog with a mohawk.

This movie is more or less the same as that Chris Pratt Amazon show.
I like birds
Heat (1986), with Burt Reynolds, is a truly great movie.
Gabrus got his flowers on this week's Workaholics pod
The rare movie with many different perspectives on PTSD (slow, oblivious, snow bunny) and they are all offensive.
Dana Andrews - Harolds - is the original Ted Stryker from “Zero Hour!”, the film bought to produce “Airplane!”. He clearly had a much different drinking problem. 😏

I heard they’re casting Pratt as the next Booker. I got nothing against the guy but he’s totally wrong to play J.T….
I named my son after Jim Backus’ memorable character in this film
Imagine having Chuck Norris as your professor.
Imagine him as your acting coach: it reminds me of a physics teacher I had that had no sense of smell so relied on teenagers to tell him if the gas had been left on…😳
Honky Tonk Man wasn't an overalls guy. The fella from that era you're looking for is Hillbilly Jim. He later managed the overalls adorned Godwinn brothers, whose finisher was the slop drop. Figured if I was going to correct an action boy I would at least provide additional useless info.
Hacksaw Jim?
don't know why there are frogs in Vietnam? come on guys the French were there long before us
James Franciscus was my mom's secondary celebrity crush, after Richard Chamberlain.
moms got some range
Booker looks like the type of guy that grocery shops at a gas station.
Vietnam does have mountains. My dad was in Quang Tri in ‘69. Not really sweater weather, but not tropical jungle either.
Classic "I know I've seen this but I don't remember any of this shit" movie. Definitely wouldn't have known who Randolph Scott was the first time so I got that reference at least. I member Chuck re-used that windshield jump kick in Walker where he puts shoe polish in his beard and goes under cover in a Mexican cartel, "call me GOMEZ" I think the villain in that one was the bad guy from Toy Soldiers and whatnot
got really stressed with the constant references to Squ*w Valley, glad to report the resort has renamed itself Palisades Tahoe
I want the reel of film they shot trying to get Chuck to roll over his bed to answer his phone. All 75 takes.
"Expediant" is said 12 times in less than five minutes.
you clocked that? we got a modren preternatural over here
Thank the old gods and the new for Anne Archer.
Poor Dana Andrews. I think he’s legit drunk in this movie.
Oh man, when I saw "Good Guys Wear Black" I read it as "Megaforce."
I don't know...am I crazy or is Chuck actually good in this? I thought some of his acting scenes in this were pretty good. Still shit but some of the best I've seen from him lol.
you crazy for that
The scenes of Chuck and Anne Archer trying to seduce and get information from eachother are the most "how the fuck did Chuck ever get famous?" thing ever.
I hope they used non toxic paint on the tigers.
The music in this was insane.
Hot damn I love these Action Boyz, I LOVE THEM
