Very disappointing...

Must See Movie...

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

In this film those that are wearing black are a special forces group of trained assassins who went on special missions with selective targets. The group that Chuck Norris led were so good at their jobs that before the Paris Peace Accords are signed the North Vietnamese want this group eliminated.Chuck Norris's group must have been doing some kind of damage that this kind of demand be made. All having to do with that Oriental concept of saving face.But the Black Tigers make it out, most of them that is. But a few years after the war ended, people in his group are starting to get killed in strange and exotic ways.It all has to do with the ambitions of career diplomat James Franciscus who is playing a role far from idealistic teacher Mr. Novak. Franciscus certainly would have had the proper attitudes to go far in the Nixon administration. He's got a loyal career subordinate in Dana Andrews who is getting good and stewed as his way of coping. Andrews who had a career tainted by alcoholism certainly had this late career role down pat.Chuck Norris with a bit of help from Lloyd Haynes of the CIA and reporter Anne Archer who on the Washington cocktail circuit gets the story of a lifetime give him some help. That and his own martial arts skills dispatch a number of bad guys.Norris fans will approve.

Rugged commando John T. Booker (the almighty Chuck Norris in solid rough'n'tumble form) and his elite squad the Black Tigers are left behind enemy lines by their backstabbing superiors during a mission in Vietnam. Five years later someone starts picking off the surviving members of the squad. It's up to Booker to find out who's behind the killings and take the person down. Director Ted Post, working from a complex and cynical script by Bruce Cohn and Mark Medoff, relates the complicated and chillingly plausible plot at a steady pace, maintains a tough and paranoid no-nonsense tone throughout, astutely nails the bleak and shadowy zeitgeist of post-Watergate 70's America, and stages the rousing action scenes with aplomb. Moreover, the story makes a grim, yet relevant and provocative central point about government expediency and corruption. The fine cast helps matters a whole lot: the charming and fetching Anne Archer delivers an appealingly spunky portrayal of snoopy investigative lawyer Margaret, James Franciscus makes for a suitably slimy villain as ruthless and treacherous politico Conrad Morgan, Lloyd Haynes does well as Booker's shrewd buddy Murray Saunders, Dana Andrews likewise excels as the bitter and washed-up Edgar Harolds, and Jim Backus has a funny bit as a cheery doorman. Norris cuts loose with his patented lethal karate moves on several exciting occasions; the definite show-stopping highlight occurs when the Chucker does a fierce flying kick through a car windshield. Robert Steadman's slick cinematography gives the picture a nice glossy look and boasts a few breathtaking aerial shots. Craig Safan's funky, jazzy, pulsating score hits the get-down groovy spot. A worthy item.

Ted Post(Hang 'Em High)directed this early Chuck Norris vehicle regarding a contract out to kill members of a covert group sent into Vietnam on a bogus mission to secure POW's said to have been imprisoned in a camp. Norris stars as John T Booker, leader of the Black Tigers, leading five of the men out of Vietnam. He goes on to become a professor and part-time race car test driver, soon learning from an old pal in the CIA(Lloyd Haynes)that he and his men have a hit out on them. Booker will join forces with a mysterious reporter, Margaret(Anne Archer, simply lovely)who knows more than she's willing to divulge, in an attempt to find the remainder of his men(..those still alive) across the country, running into constant trouble along the way. James Franciscus has a memorable role as a handsome, ambitious, ruthless political negotiator, Conrad Morgan, eyeing the Secretary of State position, whose goal is to silence all who had a part in the "Phoenix Operation" and Booker will do everything in his power to see this bastard fail. Dana Andrews also has a small, but pivotal role as Morgan's right-hand man, Edgar Harolds, who was once in a higher position of political power, now an alcoholic, lonely man with only one ace under his sleeve to keep the wolves at bay. Soon-Tek Oh, as Major Mhin Van Thieu, was part of the Black Tigers, actually part of Morgan's camp, a hired assassin whose putting bullets into Booker's men.Good Guys Wear Black, as any Norris fan can tell you, features one of Chuck's most memorable iconic sequences where he goes through the windshield of a moving car to kick an enemy attempting to flee. Norris also gets a chance to subdue those who attempt to thwart his mission of justice, by dropping his foes with martial arts kicks and other maneuvers..this is a great period for us Norris fans as he was a bit thinner, more agile and athletic, and could really move fast, giving his adversaries little chance to counter his arsenal of blows. Post, working from a rather convoluted espionage script, keeps the story going, with Norris in fine form. While he never was known for his acting prowess, Norris' other skills, such as screen presence, charisma, and fighting style, bolster GGWB rather well. I think this film features one of the better stories of Norris' career(..and Archer is certainly one of his better leading ladies), while not allowing him to kick and punch people throughout.

Horrendous actioner stars Chuck Norris as Booker a soldier who survives a setup and now must survive long enough to report the cover-up that could get him killed in this laughable actioner which showcases why Norris shouldn't be allowed near a camera. In either case this dated actioner can either make for a quite a dull afternoon or a hilarious night laughing at it's shortcomings. Plus the title has no real merit towards the movie.
