i saw this movie because i saw the expendables 2,and remembered there was a movie where he was called lone wolf.
i liked this movie,the first shootout with him gunning down about...20 evil bad guys was awesome."you are under arrest".
it could very well BE that same character,30 years later on in the expendables 2.
I just saw this for the first time yesterday.
Absolutely loved it.
The opening was awesome, but the climactic chaos was amazing as well.
Great-looking Blu-ray, to boot. Got CODE OF SILENCE on tap for later in the week. Looking forward to seeing that for the first time, too.
They thought they were alone...
Guilty.
When Chuck showed up and they started referring to him as the Lone Wolf, I was reminded of how badass this film was and decided to look it up. It hands down the best film to ever star Chuck Norris in a lead role. When it was over, I went back and watched the final fight a second time. It's probably not a "good" movie, but it was awesome and it left me feeling good after I watched it. And that's what counts.
What's weird is that in Expendables 2 they refer to him as Booker which was his name in "Good Guys Wear Black" but also as the "Lone Wolf" which references "Lone Wolf McQuade" so I guess I'm a little confused as to which character he's playing. I've never seen GGWB so I don't know if there's any similarity in his character there compared to Expendables 2. But with Expendables 2 there's the scene wear he kills all of those people by himself which he also does in the beginning of McQuade and in Expendables 2 and McQuade he says he "works alone."
Pretty cool though.
Technically he's not playing any former character and all those references are just in homage to his past roles but if I had to pick one I'd say he was McQuade.
